Theory of living and non living things…..

Whenever I say ‘we’ in this post it refers to all living organisms, from a single celled mo to the biggest mammal, and ‘they’ will refer to all non living things

Why do we move, why do we do whatever we usually do, is it because we want to do it or is it because of the relative position of other objects and things and what is happening around us or are we doing everything on our own will??. I do not understand why I thought about this, may be because my college life is over and I don’t have anything else useful to do. Never mind, I’ve decided to write a post on this.

Consider this case, I am moving my hand to get a glass of water, you may say I am doing this because I am feeling thirsty but if I feel thirsty I am suppose to drink some water why do I move my hands. I move my hands because the glass of water is there, so my movement is dictated by the position of a non living thing (glass of water) okay let us get a little deep in to the concept, why is the glass of water there if someone had kept it there then my movement is dominated by a living thing right?? It flaws the whole theory but then again why would some one keep a glass of water there, may be because of the presence of a table and the rule that a glass of water should be on the table and not some where it could be toppled accidentally, and the table is there because the actual place where it was thought to be set is occupied by the refrigerator for argument. And after drinking the water I get up to refill It because the jug of water is not near enough and why didn’t my mom keep the jug on the table??, because it was filled with my books and my laptop which would be severely damaged on exposure to water
So in the end the glass, jug, laptop, books, refrigerator and water has dominated and has dictated what I do for a minute or two…

What if we are all non living things and they are all living things and we are doing there bidding with out our consciousness
And after all these non living things are older than us and have been our ancestors, their level of intelligence should be far beyond our comprehension.
It is not like I want it to be that way but there is always a possibility.
Okay, let us scale up to a bigger case,
Why do we do our works at day and sleep at night, isn’t it because of the presence and absence of sunlight and rotation of the earth
And consider agriculture, what we cultivate depends on the nature of the land and our food habits in turn depends on the land we live, our dressings depends on the climatic conditions.
And we call ourselves the intelligent ones and have developed a pride based on the idea that we decide the fate of everything else around, when the reality is nothing we do are actually what we want to do, most of the things we do are what we need to do.

And finally what if global warming is meant to happen, what if we are suppose to heat up the atmosphere by doing all the insane things we do.. What if all the factories and automobiles that do the job are not really working for us but for them
E.g.: It is known that using air-conditioning systems and refrigerators result in green house gas emission and why do we use them?? In order to reduce temperature from the actual one and why do we have to reduce it?? Because the temperature is above the tolerance limit of some of us so that we will use other means to cool ourselves and in the process will release the so called green house gases.

Things are never what they look like; our powerlessness hidden behind our pride.
Always respect what we find around us. May be they are our masters….
