"Human beings get used to using right hand rather than using the left one on any activity.
They hold stuffs with their right hands...
They write or draw with their right hands...
They even use the right hand to hold the jobstick when they eat...
Right hand tends to work really hard on contributing to the whole activities of human, while the left hand is apparently more comfortable and relax...
But...
Never have I heard any complaint from the right hand to human beings about the seem-to-be-useless left hand...
Never have I felt any humility inside the left hand, when people tend to appreciate right hand with important functions...
Because they both proudly know that they always play a crucial part in any of human activities, no matter how more or less their responsibilities are...
Simply see that in order to hit the nail into the wall, you apparently hold the hammer with your right hand, and the nail on the other hand... Without one, can you come up with your target?!?!
When you suddenly hit any of your left finger with the hammer, guess what right hand will do! It will immediately drop the hammer, and rub the left hand gently and share the pain together with it."
[paraphrased the unknown allegory]

Right hand and left hand...

While the right hand and the left hand can live in good harmony with each other like that, why don't human beings act the same? Why do they have to struggle with one another for power, or those trivial materials, along with their own ordinary sakes?
Things turned out to be reversed with the happy family since parents died. Guys and gals struggled one another for the sake of inheriting the house of their parents.. They seemed to behave as if they were strangers and had no blood relationship with the other...
Manager in companies stole their people' attainment for the sake of their rewards and fame, even people deceptively tricked their close colleagues to gain points for the higher promotion...
Human beings... including me...

Are we that good? Why do we treat one another like that?
Or is it the way human beings do, to exist and survive on this severe life???

Kiha.
