Where is humanity?

Any religion has shaped itself as a core part of our identities. Every religion possesses it's own mythological stories and the impact of its influence is huge in the minds of the followers. I imagine religion as a vast ocean. There are huge ships sailing on the ocean. The ships vary in it's size and colour, the sailors differ because of the varied languages, culture and race. But everyone's medium of transport is the same and that is the vast deep blue ocean. Religions have many names and engulfed within them are varied customs and traditions. But the base which supports every religion is the same. That is humanity. 

We all are aware of the fact which I have mentioned above. But many have manipulated their own religion for their vested interests. The ideas of manipulation are then passed onto others and slowly and gradually the volume of minds under the rough blanket increases. Who is the one to be blamed? The person responsible for manipulation? But why would he do it? There is must be some reason behind it. As all say that there are two sides to every story. 

World is divided into good and bad people. There are bad ones because they must have gone through some nasty experiences, which you or me could not even imagine of. This implies that there must be some bad ones before the new bad comers. Another division which is so popular nowadays is good and bad religion. People belonging to a bad religion are bad. There maybe many good hearted ones but they are ill-treated and deprived of love which really turns them bad. The conflict rises like rising flames. At the end, no one wins. Any revenge cannot be victorious where humanity is being confronted with fatal death. 

I try to recollect the Stone Age period which I studied in History. I wonder if religion existed at that time. The time where survival was the only priority of man. But there maybe fights occurring. So is conflict the outcome of religion? Maybe. That's because some people fight in the name of religion. A person is not treated well by a person of a xyz religion. There are chances that the victim feels every individual of that particular religion is a devil and this feeling spreads. It even spreads from generations to generations. Revenge rises at a same velocity and a time comes where humans only blame the religion. No one knows who started it and no one knows how would all this end. 

Humanity is at stake. Revenge has become the head of all human relations. Thousands of candles are lit and yet the war continues. People say peace is the solution. How can peace grow? If the fights stop. How can the fights stop? If understanding builds up. How can understanding take it's stand? If people just forget about the nationality, race, gender, caste, class, religion and remember only one thing. 

We are humans.
