You see … I was supposed to finish a story on “Near death experience” but now I have to abandon my long due article because of valid reasons. My apology …!
I quoted Rabindranath Tagore above; he considered Children as God send … as messengers. An affirmative on his sentiments, as I share the same belief and I’m sure almost all of you’d agree with him too. If not, I assume you are a cyborg, not born naturally as a Human child.
Whatever those great Humans happen to say long time back in our history … words … in vain and those reflections been considered not as valid as they used to be … and this’s 21ST Century. If you disagree with me … then look round and can anyone please pin point a place, where a child s’ rights aren’t been violated? where a child’s not been abused … mean any form of abuse … a place where children don’t die premature … despite the way they die … a possibly safer place for them to live? Can anyone? No? I thought so …
It’s said that 1,477 Children been killed by Israel attacks and 129 Children died due to Palestinian attacks since 20th September, 2000 and that’s the conflict between these two countries over a strip of Land. I’m sure they are trying to win this strip of Land for enhancement of land … for their future. Which means … for their Children. Absolutely an ingenious style, I must say. When either of these countries wins the land eventually, I hope they’d not have to use it to bury the Children they killed. Bravo.
And then, we hear another shooting spree in USA. This time, target’s been 20 innocent children, 01st graders … and their Teachers. Some blame the “gun-laws” in USA … saying gun control measures aren’t adequate … that any lunatic can get hold of a gun, it’s just as easy as buying a loaf of Bread in USA. Some blame the Mental Health issues, saying most Americans suffer from some kind of psychiatric problem … (Americans aren’t alone there)… that this Shooter was suffering from several types of disorders … that he came from a broken family plus he suffers from a personality disorder … really? … 20 Children HAD to die the most horrific way … for American top shots and its citizens to realize that GUNS KILL. They wait for such trivial things to happen to discuss about minor matters like “Gun Culture” and “Mental Health issues” …. And yet forget about the whole thing in matter of weeks? Wow … why worry at all? These are simply nonsensical things which America has to be of concern. But I say … it’s a shame USA; why not use your super powers, intelligence, whatever you boast of … to protect at least your own children?
For me … Children ARE Children, anywhere on earth, one must understand.
Oh the funny part is … here we humans wonder, 12.12.12 World didn’t END and now we are curious whether it will happen on 12.12.21? … waiting for what EXACTLY are we?? an Asteroid?? …
I’d like to say, any person who has some common sense, I MEAN at least the size of a pin head, should realize, the World will surely end, but not on 12th Dec or 21st Dec … that it will happen eventually and it has already started happening. LOOK around people, what do you think? It started on … whatever the date we forgot the importance, the gravity, of our actions towards fellow humans, it started on that day we forgot the most decisive thing we require to protect, for continuation of human race … our CHILDREN.
Go on … you can keep doing what you are doing … we aren’t going to get hit by an Asteroid anytime soon.
But I’d like you to have something to ponder … and act differently if you think you should:
Words of Wisdom …
“It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell … He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye … The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings … The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness … and Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without …”
By Lord BUDDHA
May you find your peace … may you find ways to protect our Children … and the world will continue …!
