EpiFunny’s of Mine

i remember when that when i was a little boy,i saw documentaries and shows of dolphins doing tricks and then rewarded with fishes,also i remember reading about chimpanzeess that were trained or taught to get bananas by solving some simple puzzles,and dogs that were taught to push certain combination of buttons to get doggy treats as rewards,there’s lots of other examples,the researchers used gorillas,orang utans,mices etc…

the conclusions of all the researchers?it’s quite the same actually no matter what the animal they used,unanimously they’d say “hey,these animals are quite smart cause they can plan and learn neat stuffs to achieve their goals(whether they’re smelly fishes,bananas,or a piece of cheese)

in other word,if an animal have a brain it its head,it’s considered smart only if it can find motive and purpose and ways to reach them ,even the treats are not actually in front of it’s eyes,the animal know they’re somewhere behind an elaborate moves and tasks they must do.in most animals the researchers say,it’s just because it’s genetically programmed in them(e.g the complicated nest building of ants,bees colllecting honey, etc)

it then occured to me,well,humans are lot smarter than dolphins right(i think all the researchers would agree to that),so their everyday purpose and motivation should be,further and higher,not just about the basic instincts like food,rest,sex etc.our visions should not be things just about things right in front of us(a pretty girl/boy,a prettty bag,a nice piece of steak for example)it would be unworthy of our complicated brain,and would be humiliating to be at the same par or worse lower than of orang utans(i saw them live,they don’t seem that smart)

i saw a very interesting comercial( think it’s was animal planet) a couple of months ago..i dun remember the details but it ask”why are we here?what’s our purpose?”and show flashes of animal pictures(i remember some birds,frogs and maybe a cheetah,or is it a leopard?)..well it’s about time humans ask that Q right…

but remember 1400 years ago,a holy book was sent down to earth through an honest man, and one of it’s sentence meant “do u think that we created u for nothing” and another meant “we didn’t created the jinns and humans except(for the purpose of) to submit to us”.

and the honest man pbuh said a hadith meaning”the (present) world is just a like dream compared to the afterlife”

isn’t it funny that they only managed to ask the questions after all these years of researching,while the answers have been given more than a thousand years ago.i pray that they will find the answer,but how many of them will be blessed enough to accept them as the right one?

but it’s just painful to see that many more already know the answers(including me)but still ape(dunno if it’s more fittinng to be used literally) around their lifes….ya allah…ihdinassiratalmustaqim….rabbana zolamna anfusana..fain lam taghfirlana lakanunna minal hasyirin….
wallahualam..wassalam

ps:please tell me if there’s any mistake in the translations,especially if the meanings are off….thanks.i’ll gladly edit them
