Death is inevitable and people die everyday. Death is a fact of life; the thought of it stimulates the profound goodness from within someone and for someone it confirms the purposelessness and emptiness of life. Death as an entity is so strong that no religion could ever claim to defeat it by advocating the concept of immortality.
Having said that, somewhere deep down, it just doesn't feel right and justified to encounter death when some psycho on the street doesn't feel your life is worthwhile and decides to end it by planting a bomb or going on a shooting spree. The recent terrorist activities and the spineless reaction of the Government has forced a common man like me to think of violence as the only way possible to put things in perspective.
Non-violence although a great and powerful tool, can only be exercised against someone who atleast has a little regard and respect for the other person, however applying non-violence to deal with someone who doesn't hesitate even a small bit to kill an innocent person is cruel.
Displaying the strength to uphold a principle at all times is commendable, however knowing when the circumstance is unfavorable for upholding the principle is the virtue of wisdom. And what our nation needs now is wise people not principled people.
On this note, let me ask myself; do I know a wise person who is capable of leading us? As of now, the answer to that is 'NO'...
GOD help us!!!
