Cruel Intentions - II

Thank you friends for your valuable inputs. I will try to follow all your suggestions.

Coming back to how cruel we are. Today is a sad day. Do you know why? We executed a seventy seven year old, wheel chair ridden, blind old man for a crime he committed some 25 years ago. Is it human to do that? He was a bad man I agree, but how is killing him now, make the world a better place? It is actaully setting a bad example, to our younger generation and making them more harsh and cruel.

Don't you think the old man learnt a lesson living in the penitentiary for 25 years always thinking about what he did and always lving in fear of execution? How cruel are we?

Just think about all the movie we are watching these days. A popular hero kills a hundred people in a gore fest and what do we do? We cheer him. We adore him. And the movie is a sensational block buster. Movies which are sick and violent are the top grossing movies in the U.S.. We use graphics to enhance the effect of violence. Do we need to watch Jesus being nailed so exaggeratedly in order to believe in him or empathize his 'Passion'? Wha a shame. What have we come to.

Scores call out to stop the war. How many of those scattered voices are heard? I dont' remember the name of the great man who qouted this, I guess it is Sri Sri, but it is one of my favorites, it suffices to - 'What else is there in human history other than war and hatred?'. Just think about the current war. Laden master minded the 911 attacks. We killed everybody around him, we didn't care if they were innocent or not, we just terminated them. Later we waged a war on Iraq, killed thousands and we continue to kill more.

The whole logic is synonymous to this scenario - We know there is a rat in a house. What do we do? We kill all life in the house, because we are intelligent enough to know that a rat is a living thing. We are forgetting the actual reason to kill the mouse. We also bomb a neighbouring country, Pakistan just because somebody hinted some terrorist might be hiding there. We don't care if any innocent people die or if we are already making enemies for our future generations.

And Pakistan led by Musharaff, learn a lesson don't support evil as you will also fall under its wrath and struggle.

I can go on and on this. I will. May be sometime later. Please voice you comments too.
