 For him man was not as disdainfully black as charcoal; or as white as the impeccable crusts of ice-cream, 

 
For him man was not as tall as the mountains; or as weak as the diminutive ant, 
 
For him man was not as rich as the royal king; or as impoverished as the beggar shivering on the streets, 
 
For him man was not as intellectual as the ingenious scientist; or as dumb as the lunatic imprisoned within the corridors of the mental asylum, 
 
For him man was not as strong and tenacious as the towering elephant; or as meek as the minuscule mosquito, 
 
For him man was not as robust as the rubicund apple; or as fragile and rotten as the sprinkled garbage, 
 
For him man was not as sacrosanct as the sagacious saint; or as hideous as the diabolical devil, 
 
For him man was not as fast as the contemporary computer; or as lazy as the pig lying unwashed on the slopes for weeks, 
 
For him man was not as fat as the ostentatiously inflated balloon; or as thin as the neglected strand of the broomstick, 
 
For him man was not as educated as the literary scholar; or as illiterate as the clerk who used his thumb and toe to sign the documents, 
 
For him man was not as beautiful as the mesmerizing fairy; or as satanic as the witch hovering around in the haunted house, 
 
For him man was not as successful as the dynamic Business tycoon; or as maimed as the bleary eyed boy polishing boots on the street, 
 
For him man was not as sharp as the stupendously sighted hawk; or as dark as the baby born perpetually blind, 
 
For him man was not as supernatural as the magician executing astounding tricks; or as normal as the student slogging overwhelmingly hard to pass his examinations, 
 
For him man was not as impeccable as golden honey; or as appalling as the uncouth murderer wandering at will in the open valley, 
 
For him man was not as perfect and meticulous as the invincible angel; or as prone as the inevitably erring teenager, 
 
For him man was not as brilliant as the flamboyant body of the fiery Sun; or as morbid as the corpse slithering on earth, 
 
For him man was not as belligerent as the gleaming knife; or as soggy as salubrious cherries nestling on the cake, 
 
For him man was not as mature and prudent as the owl; or as imbecile as the new born infant, 
 
For him man was not as fragrant as the incredulously voluptuous rose; or as decaying as the dead fish lying still on the shores, 
 
For him man was not as bearded as the dense foliage of the jungle; or as clean shaven as the ducks floating on tepid pools of water, 
 
And for the Creator man was not a  'Hindu', 'Muslim', 'Christian', 'Buddhist'; or one following 'Hinduism', 'Islam', 'Christianity', 'Buddhism'.etc., 
 
What he actually considered man was an entity which he had evolved as a pair of flesh and bones on this planet; a mouth to speak and two eyes to sight; who had the ability to procreate millions of his kind; who had the unflinching ability to keep his Universe moving; and over and above all one who had the uncanny ability to keep the paradise of his dreams always and immortally alive.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
