Human All Too Human

"WHAT IS?"- the question of being? This is the inaugural question in philosophy. All of us have vacillating perspectives on the question of Being because it is more contingent on 'Experience' than the "I". But today in this merciless, anything but a fair world order of which we are a part of, the Question has to be "Why" - Why is the very being of many Beings is in jeopardy? These wars, consumerism, lack of compassion, moribund social consciousness, starving subalterns and what not.
