Amphibians. The class of vertebrates that are capable of living both in water and on land. Two radically different scenarios. Why were they made?
There were animals that could just stay on land, there were the ones that could stay in water, swim in all their glory. But, why were, (If I may?) organisms that could exist both on water and land created? Pardon my ignorance, but even if there are human inventions of that kind, they have not been as popular as the Car or the Ship.
The human mind is programmed to do so much more than what is actually done. When entities like amphibians have existed since the Devonian period, much earlier than the human race, merely the human mind should be much capable, rendering everything else pale in comparison. If amphibians were bestowed with a complex body structure that enabled them to stay on either media with equal aplomb, the human mind, over period of time of course, realised that humans couldn't do it and developed accessories and apparatus instead.
The human mind. So creative, yet so destructive.
For reasons unknown to me, a large section of people restrict the potency of the brain to just what is most obvious, what is easiest to do and what the general human perception is. Mind you, it is again a perception devised by the same human mind. While I agree with the principle of doing one thing and sticking to it throughout the life in order to better it over due course of time, it, sometimes sounds monotonous to me. What is more exciting to me is when you can squeeze in enormous amounts of work and creativity in quite a few areas and still, deliver.
I'm not saying that its an individual thing. The human mind has seen enormous amounts of creative waves in the form of Leonardo da Vinci, who, wiki says, was an engineer, mathematician, artist, musician, painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, scientist, anatomist, cartographer, botanist, writer and geologist. Phew. Now, I'm not sure if wiki is to be believed as a credible source of info, but I remember having read somewhere about his inventions. Giving benefit of doubt to the great artist, I'll take it that atleast 7/8ths of that is true.
Now, I know I'll invite a lot of flak because there are people who have proven their worth in their fields, without insulting their field or other fields. There are numerous people who have proven time and again, that with determination and passion, anything can be achieved. Maybe my perspective toward life is different. But let me reiterate, my potency is not very different. I believe that in a small life of 60 years, if you'll have to look back, there should not be an iota of remorse for not having done something, especially if that something is dear to you. There'll be many things dear in life, which is again a perspective, and purely a matter of choice.
Which is why I envy the amphibian. I'd not say they don't have enough commitments or responsibilities. I'd say they have theirs, I've mine. But I don't think they'd have a complex mind, as complex as their body structure. Welcome, the human mind. The supreme entity that creates problems, emotions and at the end of it all, resolves everything.
P.S. Its very tempting to check this for mistakes, but for the first time, I'm posting it without (re)reading.
