Terrorism
is the one morbid element which is getting stronger day by day. But,
we are not actually fighting a terrorist, we are fighting wrong and
misunderstood principles. In the name of some religion, people
misunderstand humanity, have false images about the right and wrong.
We are actually fighting such illusions. No religion, although I have
read none- the Bhagvata Gita, or the Quran, or the Bible, or the Guru
Granth Sahib-but I'm absolutely sure, that no religion preaches blood
shedding.
Our maker is considered a symbol of love, an ocean of
peace. An ocean, which only knows giving. Taking lives, is the
reserved right of the one who gives it to us. We are fighting the
weed that grows next to a flowering plant, the storm that leads to
nowhere, the war that can never ever lead to satisfaction- even to
the one who chose it. Sooner than later, the soul will understand the
real purpose in coming to this world. And then, the terrorism will
die, in the mind of the terrorist. And thus, it will die in the
world.
How to
curb it- I, have a childish belief, as to how this can be curbed and
finished. I had read this somewhere-
insaan
teen wajah se gunehgaar banta hai- ya niyat se, ya fitrat se, ya
halaat se
If a
person is a criminal by intentions or by nature, we can curb that by
education. Education not in terms of teaching the complexities of
chemistry, or the history of his nation, or math problems. But,
education in terms of what is right and what is wrong. The basis of
education is humanity, and the seeds of that must be sown at a tender
age. If not, the shrewdness of the real world makes a man think of
only himself, since he is not enlightened to the real nature of
himself, and the reality of his existence.
This early education must
foster brotherhood, not inside a house, not inside a neighbourhood,
not inside a country, but for the whole of humanity. And humanity is
not all about humans- it is about everything that possess a soul,
everything that breathes. So, this humanity when taught at an early
age, would make a child aware of his heart- which will lead to
increased sensitiveness to others, kindness, compassion, and an
ability to help. Through education, we can minimize or even end the
differences of religion, language, colour, caste, creed etc.
However,
considering the last reason behind a person becoming a criminal, it
is the most difficult to deal with. The society doesn't treat the
poor and the rich as equal. Since, it is all about money. It is all
about money, because food has to be bought, because clothes have to
be bought. Otherwise, money would have been nothing and meant
nothing.
My childish thought is either to end money and start with
the barter system again- giving what we have, in return of what the
other person has and we want, because everyone has something he can
offer to the world (food, skills, clothes, or any other commodity)-
or, the second idea might seem even more silly. Let's accumulate all
the wealth in the world, in one place, and then distribute it
equally. No one would then be rich and no one poor. That would be the
real equality. That would make everyone feel important. It would give
everyone a sense of oneness. And then if the wealth is distributed,
the power is, too. It is said that someone is required to supervise
what the society does, because of criminals. But, if the
aforementioned idea is implemented (yes, that wildest fantasy), there
would be no criminals. Everyone has a soul, which knows loving and
giving, but the harsh reality makes it do what it does. In order to
solve most of the chaos, this equality is much needed.
We have really
come the wrong way. Lets do it all again- with each other, for each
other.
