There seems to be no relation between our belief of God and our life practices. We dont seem to be doing anything that is Godly or at the least humane. In our approach to life we seem to have started beleiving that "I" alone matters. This I see all around me in the relationships, business dealings, diplomatic dealings. I was reading an article in GEO magzine about the people of Germany during the second world war. The ability of ordinary people to become killing machines was very disturbing. Today the attacks on Gaza by Isreal, killing children, is as disturbing. How can a person who has ordered these killings and the soilders who have done the killing go back to their women and children and profess love for them. Won't it be a sham. Are my children different from any other children. Is their laughter any different from the laughter of my children.
We all talk of peace. Will we have peace with our actions. Killing people to survive politically, brutalising children, will we ever have peace. Countries which talk of human rights dont speak up when a massacare on such large scale is happening. Why is it that all these people, seem to target women, children and helpless people and call themselves heroes.
To me the most courageous are people out there on the streets. Eaking a living and making ends meet. Maintaining their dignity inspite of poverty. Able to smile and laugh inspite of all the suffering. The people armed to their teeth, and killing innocents are not heroes. They are the biggest cowards. And cowards are ruling us today. Isnt it a pity.
