Beautiful alien (Human?)
“We are mankind, not humankind, yet. When one emulates humankind-ness, one seems to be a beautiful alien (human?) on this planet”. Filomina Pawar
Note: If we were “humans” in true sense of the word (compassionate, kind, understanding, gentle, empathizing people) and not be so indifferent to EACH of our fellow beings’ feelings/sufferings/needs (unlike how we presently are) we were living a Utopian life, I think.
We have to find and pursue those things which make us feel ‘alive’. When a person is genuinely happy doing what he does, he carries that natural, wholesome-ness with him that people around him get absorbed in its aura regardless of their cast, creed, religion, language, genders, across borders. There's an element of other-worldliness, sort of transcending human limits, just the essence of their being.
Consequently, the person is not only happy himself but spreads it amongst the people around him, creating a pleasant, warm, "we-are-all-one" sort of uplifting atmosphere. That's what I meant by trying to figure out the uniqueness and nurturing it in each of us so that everyone can be happy. Just imagine.

Utopian musings of my mind : Experimental art project.
Imagining the possibilities : Yearning to be human.
Our (adapted) conversation : Love and Peace.
Filomina: Eric, during the hippie times, you believed in love and peace, right?
E: Yeah.
F: What killed the movement you think?
E: People, commercialization, etc. People who did not really understand the principles, started growing their hair and dressing up like we did. For us it was a statement but they used it as fashion and trends. They started selling the clothes, boots we wore, in boutiques at exorbitant prices. Etc.
F: But don’t you think it was better if you just accepted the process like it went, instead of getting disheartened by it? So what if they dressed up like you all did? Maybe they wanted to belong, maybe they thought it was cool etc. If you accepted them as they were, given chance and time, they would have understood the principles. Instead of fixing the wrong, you guys gave up something that seemed right. Isn’t it like throwing the baby with the bath water?
