Respected Members, This question has been bugging my mind for the last two weeks that how is it possible to remain human in a society where there is no humanity. Some people pose to be as humans but if you investigate their attitude towards their fellow beings, you'd find them wanting in humanity, I mean they are selective in the expression of their humanity, humans to some while beasts to others. Please shed some light over this problem from a secular standpoint. What to employ for the solution of this problem: Religion? Politics? Mysticism? Please comment.

Well, u have raised up a good question indeed.
Man has never been perfect and will never be..Because the good and the bad has been there. Man has been too often good and very often bad..So far the question of survival in this delicate situation is concerned, it is the true test of MOMIN.. To live in this world while sustaining all the odds, is the true test of life. Had there been no evil the goodness would have no reason to exist for.It is the night that makes the day. So, one should never except a world free of all evils.. Because, it is world...
Face the challenges and lead the life..

Well, thanks dear fellow! But the question still sustains. If one counter the challenges of life in the same way as others do then the subject person wouldn't be able to remain human but would, automatically, become a part of the inhuman society. One has to go through the vicissitudes of time by leading her/his life but the question is how not to do as the Romans do while living in Rome? How to keep your humanity and humaneness intact while you're surrounded by those who're driven by their second nature?

First of all you will have to rethink your definition of human and inhuman. We are human being so how can our society be inhuman. You are blessed with a thoughtful brain so you should not become so much cynical to believe that everyone around you is not human but mere animals. If you look closley then you will surely find some human too in this society and the moment you do that, you will get the answer to this question too.

“Brother, stand the pain.
Escape the poison of your impulses.
The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do.
Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun.
Turn away from the cave of your sleeping.
That way a thorn expands to a rose.”

Respected Fellows, Why you people are taking this universal problem as something my personal. No offense please. I am not considering myself as the only human being on planet Earth. This is a discussion that's related to our real world, the world in which you and I live. The miseries, the pains and the bloodshed that time has been bestowing upon humankind because of the dearth of humanity. Don't you people read daily papers, watch tv and deal with other people out there? The gist of this discussion is how to rejuvenate humanity if there's any or simply to juvenate it. So contribute with genuine and offence-less arguments. I keep a high regard for each and every human being and her/his. Regards

@ adil
I second you. Actually this is what i have been thinking about too in the near past. Everywhere you look around inhumanity is on the display, even in our day to day dealings. We have grown utterly selfish and our benefits, needs come first. one of the recent happenings that have led me think is this one:

When i read in the newspaper that mama qadeer from balochistan is about to reach punjab, i was expecting that a lot of people will come and show their support and join them in the rally at least as long as they were in punjab. But no one, not even a single person came and joined, not even the youth. I agree that our governments, past and present, have thought better to keep silent on the missing person issue and neglected the baloch. But we as pakistanis should have extended a hand, said they are our brothwers, our pakistani brothers but only disappointment. to recall, it was the youth who had made a huge contribution in the pakistan movement. Today also if we need a change we will have to rise and fight for others. And this will only happen if we feel the pain of others....if we have some humanity left...

Humanity is not a homogenous set of people it is rather the other way round. No two people in this world are alike. That's why there is difference of ideas, opinions and expressions. consequently,, this difference leads to confrontations at times as you have noted already. But this is not a new phenomena .Human history is replete with examples of bloodshed and atrocities and wickedness. It only because of the advancement in the communication channels that we are more aware of our surroundings than the past. Newspapers tell the gory stories of ransom, murder, rape and robbery and make us cynic and downcast.But don't you think this has been the order of the since the beginning.A king A murdered thousands of people and built tower of humans skulls.Another king B burnt and razed whole cities along with its inhabitants.One king C took upon himself the task of conquering the world and killed hundreds of thousand of people.his forces raped thousands of women.wars, killings , atrocities , murders rape , and what not is not a new thing .its as old as the humanity and its not going to die in future either. Why ? because we are humans that's why.

Had there been nothing of that sort( the wickedness)the world would have been more like a heaven, there would have been no prophets. no religion , no saints and no politics whatsoever. This is a world of humans and humans tend to be rebellious and mischief mongers , its in our nature, you , I and everyone is like that, there there is no way out except putting up with all this. but there are people like you who think there is something seriously wrong with this world and this feeling shows that all is not lost. Hope is there and the universal ideas of love, kindness, self-less-ness and generosity have not yet wilted away from the hearts of our fellow humans.

Dear Fellows! Complete removal of inhumanity is not possible because human beings born like animals born they change from savage to human through their society, what we can do is that we can lower its frequency. So what do you suggest for the achievement of our this objective, I mean what to employ? Religion? Literature? Science?

Yes, Religion to instill the fear and teach the ABC of being human.

Politics, to regulate the affairs of the state and nations.

Literature, to show mirrior to the society as develop the intellect and sensibilities.

Mysticism, to teach love of humanity .

infact all these things(menas) are already in work and doing their respective task from the very dawn of civilisation , that is, to make biologocal man a social human being ;aware of himself, his position, his life as well others around him.
