There were much blood and deaths splattered over our newspapers recently. Wars, crimes and accidents have taken many innocent lifes. They may be considered the luckier ones because many others who live, continue to mourn their untimely loss. It will be absolute grief for those close to their hearts, and whose bittersweet memories will haunt them for a long time to come.
Many who have died are innocent bystanders or reluctant participants in an unwanted confrontation or forced into an unfortunate situation. The rest of us can only read and watch helplessly. You may vent some of your anger but there is nothing much that can be done for those who have died. If some positive reaction materialises, it may have done some good, but this is likely to be some wistful thinking.
The continuing deaths and sufferings that surfaced with such regularity in the news had somewhat desentitised the public’s feelings over the loss of lives. They have become blurred and bored statistics in an unending saga of violence and destruction. We can debate the rights or wrongs about all these incidents but it does not do anyone any good. There is simply no justification for any killing or loss of lives. If Man cannot learn to live responsibly and in co-existence with each other, there is no hope.
One day we may become a victim too. It seems far off and ridiculous but who knows. It is easy to look the other way and think that the fault lies with others or find some other excuses. Unless everyone honestly searches his or her inner selves for answers, there can be no stop to all these carnage. It has been a tough situation. I just wish everyone peace and tranquility, to say a prayer to all those who have recently perished unnecessarily.GOT IT!
