There are many different lives apart from human beings. Even the insects around us have their life, every one know this. But the question is that whatever, the animal or the insect, what is the most helpless creature you see or your feel?
My answer is cockroach. Cockroach has the most helpless life I think. The first thing is that the human beings hate them though the human beings being the most civilized creature can't understand the helplessness of this creature. I don't know why god made them so? It seems as if the cockroach don't have the eyes. So they keep running here and there. I think only a speed is there capability. But it can only protect them from ants nothing more. Even the small ants hunt these cockroach, bit it at different parts that it can't escape and can't die too. It seems that their lives are totally in danger at each and every moment. And the way they run seems as if they are really helpless. Again I don't know why God biased the creatures in this form. Go to the open terrace, the sparrows eat them up. Spiders attack them. And yesterday I say a green insect that can fly. They are really faster than cockroach and can fly too. When it sees the cockroach, the cockroach has no any chance at all. Poor creature. Nothing it can do than to get killed in such a way. And I was surprised when even the cats like to attack and eat them up. I once saw this with my eye myself. For cat, its nothing to kill such small cockroach. The cockroach can do nothing how fast it may run in front of cats. Neither they have eyes, to just get their destiny.
So, I feel very much compassion for these innocent creature...
Share your opinion...
Thanks in advance...

I think human babies are the most helpless creatures. It just can't walk or even crawl for so long after birth, unlike the calf or the puppies who are up and running so quickly. Then it has to be fed and watched over twenty four seven. They are so delicate. They can not survive if abandoned, also unlike many of the other animals. Snakes abandons their eggs and few manage to survive, turtles are left to find their own way and few of them survives etc.
Its just that unlike other animals human's young one takes a lot of time to be able to go on. By this, i am specially focusing on the brain, which is the biggest and maybe also the only, defense of human kind.. i am in a hurry so i'll let it be for now.

Hello Anshu!!!
The human babies are really helpless but the good thing is that they are always under control, under care unlike those cockroaches. No child really has to suffer about such dangers in this world. And the same child is soon going to live the happy capable and the supreme life among the other creatures.
And shnsun, go to the kitchen, keep keeping eyes at the cat and the cockroach. YOu will see what the cats will do when they see the cockroach...

Hello nzalheart and AAnshu!
Well I don't have any idea who's the helpless creature.But reading your disscussion
i get something about the cockroaches. Cockroaches are one of my hatest and scary insect. I have never thought cockroaches as a helpless insect. Is it true cockroaches don't have eyes? It this the reason cockroaches fly randomly here and there and some times even it strikes in our face too. I have never thought that cockroaches are weak insect even i saw them eaten by ants. To my suprise i have never seen a cockroaches being eaten by a cat. I learnt a new thing today that cockroches do look scary and annoying they are innocent.
And AAnshu i have not thought human babies are helpless too. Human babbies are weak when they are born and the most powerful ones when they grew up.
Well why didn't my brain think these things before. Or i don't have a brain. I found myself as the helpless one too .....lol.

Humans are the only creatures who strive to hurt each other for no reason. Ants and humans are the only creatures who fight full-scale wars. The ants do it to defend their territory. The humans do it just to hurt each other.
Humans are the only creatures that put themselves under stress freely.
They are the only creatures who built themselves a cage, entered it, locked it and threw away the key, just to complain about feeling "locked in". Humans are the only creatures that destroy the world around them. They are the only creatures that feel hate towards other "races". They are the only ones who abuse other species.
Humans are truly the most pitiful beast.

i feel tht the first helpless creatures r the marine organisms .....they were the first to come to life and they r facing extinction at great rate....the whales r being killed for their fins and the global warming is directly affecting them even the oil spills on oceans r a threat to them... i think humans shd give some concern abt them i.e. whales[especially]

Hello hermione569!!!
Human beings are really getting on more and more selfish and that's why these things are happening. They have totally forgotten their spirituality. But don't worry, there are also the people with lot more compassion and commitment towards spirituality. Let's hope that the human beings really concern about these things and make this world fully of glory.
Thanks for your nice response...Happy mylotting...

The most helpless creature that comes to my mind is the manatee. They live in the waters of Florida, and they move around slowly. So slowly that they can't always get out of the way of boats that come through, and the manatee will sometimes get scraped or sliced up by the blades of the boats. I saw pictures on the news about how dangerous it is for the manatee's. The manatee's are so cute too, they are also large animals.

Mosquito,it must be mosquito. I hate mosquito very much and they indeed is the most helpless creature in my life. Where there is dirty water, there must be mosquito. They are everywhere and too small to catch. They live by suck human or animal blood and foster future generations. If my skin is biten by a mosquito, and it is too itch to stand. And I have to put the mosquito nets on my bed to keep they away in summer.

hello flyisky!!!
Well this is the common problem to me too. Currently we are having the season of mosquitoes. i.e hot season. We will have to face this problem for about 2 months more. They are also very much really helpless creatures that I see in my life.
But I am always against killing. I try to refrain these mosquitoes but don't kill them. I sleep inside the mosquito net, so they can't do a real harm to me. But I can't control some bitings from them. But I don't mind them. One bite a day, I can easily resist lol...
Thanks for your response...Happy mylotting...

I think the snail and slug is the most helpless creature. They are slow, little, and gross looking. They eat up peoples gardens so they get killed for no other reason. They are tiny and blend into their environment so when people are walking and not watching, they easily get stepped on. I have a ton of snails at my house and when ever it rains they come out and just sit there. At first I hated them because of their grossness but I was curious and ended up just watching them and really do feel sorry for them. I seen two snails entertwining their necks around each other and it kind of looked like they were cuddling and then I seen the baby ones and they are sooooo tiny that they are acutally kind of cute. My daughter accidentally stepped on one and it broke her heart. She cried because she stepped on a living thing. Her innocence opened me up to love the little slimey things. :)

Hello MyTimeNow!!!
The snails and slugs, I couldn't think about it. But sure they are also very much helpless. Here I see rarely some snails. But anyway there are lots of helpless creatures in our environment and we being the most civilized should be the one who can at least show compassion to these insects and don't harm them. In fact, it is our responsibility to do so.
And I liked your realization story. That was sad, but that incident awakened you and that is very nice. That saves hundreds of other snails in your life time.
Thanks for your nice response...Happy mylotting...And welcome to the world or mylot.
