INSIGNIFICANT HUMANS

              Insignificant Humans                                                               By N P Samal  The universe existed 10 billion years without life and may exist eternally without life. Life existed nearly 3.7 billion years on this planet before human evolution began about 5 million years ago, homo sapiens being roughly just 3 lakh years old, and may exist billions of years without human species. In other words, the universe is possible without life and life is possible without human species. But what is the meaning of the universe or the meaning of life without eyes to observe, mind to imagine, brain to describe the creation? What is the meaning of the creation in the unknown -- without recognition of the created? Who without vision will recognize the light? What is the meaning of...

THE NUANCE SYNOPSES, CANTO-WISE

Canto 1: Life and Death  Life which is short and indefinite and subjected to death is meaningless. The meaningful life is immortal life. The earth born of the universe cannot be an alien planet. The universe which has in its lap been rearing the living earth-- from microbes to mamals to present sapiens-- is in fact an invisible life form and has been deathless since its creation. The mundane life can be blended with the cosmic life of the universe to create a new immortal life form. Further, if hydra, jellyfish and other certain creatures are long-lived and immortal, human beings are capable of reinventing themselves to become immortal.  Canto 2: Human Difference  Human beings are unique. They are the latest form of evolution of life on the earth and  supreme form of the universe. They are the only species who acknowledge the creation and can re-create. They have started cognitive, scientific, and technological revolutions. They have exposed many secrets of the unive...
