Life is a rat race. Period. However, we acknowledge it, if at all, only when life is almost over. Little do we realise that even if we win the rat race, we remain as rats.
There are some differences between us and rats. Rats get caught only in a rat trap. But we are caught in multiple types of traps. Once trapped, rats try to get out of the trap. When we are ensnared by 'pleasures', we try to get deeper into them. It becomes a race to the bottom for us. Who are more intelligent, rats or us?
Rats do not gnaw at its food, say nuts, when they find that humans are around and watching. They have the fear of being caught. Human beings do not have this fear. Despite knowing that the Almighty keeps an unfailing eye constantly on us, we keep committing deliberate mistakes as if we will never be caught. Rats must be laughing at us!
