History is just for us..

I am not sure why people feel astonished about all the historical monuments and all those left behind by our predecessors as like the one below, to be an jaw-dropping marvel.

Well to state a fact, when homo sapiens extensively roamed our earth around 70,000 years ago they wouldn't have known that they would survive these many years to evolve into Laptop pocking Smarty-pants. Also their name entitles for ' wise man ' which is " homo " meaning man and " sapiens " to mean wise. May be, that could be the given name for the sake of outliving all the homo genus and made the history possible for us as " Smart species " until this point of time. 

So, naturally speaking we are considered to be smartest one on earth right? Yet, why do we feel astonished with our historical monuments and records? Is it because history always remainds as backward? Stone age? Kingdoms and monarchy? Or is it because in this modern internet age we almost most of the human beings think alike ( well we had to, because of the western propaganda on how to live like a human in this capitalist world ). 

Hey, think about this.. if we don't have any internet what would we do? Talking to people, experiencing life, learning what we like and failing innumerable times which would make any common man wiser and that goes with any era on this earth. So, with that we could also say elite ones like Kings and traders or other rich fellows from our history had been more strong headed to live like that by facing troubles and threats, alongside spending months away from home (without even knowing if they are dead or alive) for the sake of work(Common man) or Dynasty(kings) and this takes real strength from within to hustle and survive. 

In the above picture we could see the result of several months of severe training (there was no PETA or UNHCR to voice out for them) for to battle against the " enemy of their King ". Just because this guy protects them and sits on the throne people had to listen to him with no questions asked. And with this type of history we managed to have a DNA that's more physically stronger compared to their mental strength(and evidently that's how we managed to survive on this earth). So, when these egoistic, god-like statured Kings wanted to leave their legacy behind with huge temples, monuments and records do you think they would have had any second thoughts on making their people suffer, just to make their name stand for years to come? Yeah, that cought you thinking right? 

So, while feeling deep sorrow for Jallianwala bagh tragedy or Mongolian's invasive massacre on human race just to conquer the territory might seem small if we could imagine the type of efforts and life (both animals and men) were spared just for the sake of a King or a ruler to carve his name in the history. 

So, next time when you look at an monument and feel impressed.. well, I doubt you might after reading this. Anyway know this, considering our skill based era of human life that we are living in now is making us physically weak really fast and remember! this is what we are passing it to our offsprings too. So, in that case do you think those pedigree would be a strong one to survive for the next 100 years or say least next few decades? If that caught you thinking then include more physical activity rather staring at the machanical roomba while lying upside down on your couch.

 Also STOP-BUYING-ANY-ROBOTS-TO-DO-YOUR-HUMAN WORK. See that's only if you don't want your family line to stop with you, else go for it😄

" So, what's your point !? " Yeah I heard you, so my point is our predecessors were smarter, stronger & hard-core real-time survivors, and not a whiny pretentious 9-5 working common man who overthinks about his/her feelings got hurt by any mere comments passed on them. So, we are just  dumber, that's why we feel astonished about our past; have this in mind while visiting any historical places next time 😉
