A right to live - 1


Bombay's Nightmare... India's Shame!

From all the news, its obvious that the terrorists achieved wat they wanted to do... wat they love doing... terrorize humanity... terrorize the whole 'country'... though their plan actually failed in blowing up The Taj Mahal Hotel! thank God!!

People who went out to have a good time no more have the courage to venture outside ... people near the nariman house think twice about staying home... You can plot an escape plan in a war... but how could u plan an escape from an accident? how could u plan to not b "A lost innocent life"?

The society that was pain stakingly built for the past 1000s of yrs is being shattered right in front of our eyes... a wrongly built society around the world... note: nothing wrong with the culture, but lots with the society... ofcourse, Iam society to the rest of the soceity right?! but how could u try curing fever when there is a deeper problem prevalent in the body?!

The problem is much deeper than any of us may want to expect...
our society is falling apart!
Its old order, discipline, morality, religion, everything has been found to b wrongly based… it has just lost its power over people’s conscience… terrorism simply symbolizes that to destroy human beings doesn’t really matter… that there is nothing in human beings that is indestructible… that its all just matter!

The nations r irrelevant now bcoz of all the nuclear weapons… if the whole world can b destroyed within minutes, the alternative can only b that the whole world shld b together… now it cannot remain divided; its division is dangerous coz division can become war any moment!
Only one war is enough to destroy everything n there is not much time left to understand that we shld create a world where the very possibility of war doesn’t exist!!!!

Terrorism has many undercurrents… one is that, bcos of the nuclear weapons, the nations r pouring their energy into that field, thinking that the old weapons are out of date… they r out of date indeed, but cant individuals start using them?? N u cannot launch nuclear wars against individuals coz that wld simply b stupid… one individual terrorist throws a bomb n it certainly does not justify for a nuclear missile to b sent…

Wat I want to emphasize here is that, nuclear weapon has given individual people a certain kind of freedom to use those old weapons… a freedom which was not possible during olden days n that’s coz the govts were also using the same weapons! N the same govts concentrate on destroying these weapons by either throwing them into the ocean or selling them to countries which r poor n cannot afford nuclear weapons… n if u had noticed, all these terrorists come mainly from these poor countries…

They also have a strange protection… as I said earlier, u cannot use nuclear weapons against them… u just cannot throw atom bombs at them! But they can throw bombs at u, n a country that has gone ahead with being secure in the nuclear weapons front has become ‘impotent’… the same applies to US… the most powerful country in the world is still solving the 9/ 11 incident! We have a vast amount of atom bombs n nuclear bombs in our hands but to no avail… sometimes where a needle is useful, a sword may not b of any use! N ppl who have the sword need not necessarily b in a superior position to the man who has a needle…

Now the terrorist has a great power even over the greatest powers… he can throw bombs at the Twin Tower, at the white house, at the Taj Mahal hotel n at our parliament without any fear, coz wat we have is too big n we cant really throw it back… frankly even if we do throw back the small ones, where r we gonna find him?!

(to b contd...)

I am not sure the society on a whole has gone into that mind set. I agree there are a sect of people who do not value human lives anymore, but a common man whether american, Indian or pakistani would not prescribe to this sect.

And yes, developing nuclear weapons is not really enough. More important is tightening the security of the country.

However careful we may wanna get, they'll always find a way to break it... like 9/ 11 where under hands can never b avoided...

The problem goes much deeper... its the conscience that has to b changed.. the attitude!!!
