Where's humanity drifting away?

'Mom I have stomach ache today'

'Akram, don't be a bad boy. Get ready for the school fast or you'll be late.'

'But mom...'

'I'll ask abba to get you a chocolate when you return from school.'

 

... And the mother still bleeds of tears to have stopped her 7 year old son from skipping school for a day, now that his soul rests in peace, finally and forever.

Over the past couple of decades, there has been an exponential rise in the terrorist activities that shake the pillars of humanity. Not just Asian countries like India and Pakistan or the Arab countries, but the entire globe has been a victim of such dreadful and painstaking events. Be it the serial blasts or the 26/11 attacks in India or the 9/11 attacks on the WTC, each and every of this has lead to despair to the civilization and is uncompensatable.

The latest of the inhuman acts, the tragic and unfortunate Peshawar attacks demonstrate of how ruthless these terrorists are. Killing innocent school going children just to seek a revenge can never be a justified recoil against any government, not even in the worst of cases. If for a second we leave behind our selfish interests and try to think of the mother's lament and of her helplessness, we shall know the grief she has levied on herself. For an entire life, she is left behind to accuse herself of her child’s death, though her efforts were for the betterment of the kid in every possible way. Not just this one mother of the father, but everyone who lost somebody that day laments to undo what has fallen upon.

It seems a desultory of mankind that we have not been able to eliminate those who stand as blotch to humanity. The atrocities of terrorism snatch away what is called the feeling of life, leave alone happiness and celebration. If an anabasis is not called by the society against the terrorists, the future generations shall fall short of wood for pyre and grave for the dead. While all good shall end, evil shall emerge as the winner.

The reason I didn’t come up with the usual salutation is my sorrow of what has happened to the society and I shall end it with a prayer to god to restore peace and love in hearts of those who have been mislead.

May the deceased find peace and their families strength.

Amen!
