Few things....

It's been long I wrote...few reasons, you need the mindset and the time to write, and then most of all, your urge has to be so much that you want to write, leaving everything else aside.
I was pained by the news of the killing of Gaddafi. I am not a pro Gadaffi mobster or something..I am just not happy the way human race is evolving, or perhaps not evolving.
I heard a psycologist speak in our national meeting that 75% of us get an instinct to kill somebody at some point of time in our life. Somebody, who can be your worst enemy or more commonly a person sitting next to you and annoying you while you are on the bus. It is just a momentary instinct. Most of us dont execute it. The psycologist felt tht this instinct is form the days of the cavemen. We liked killing. Have we changed much?
We talk about civilisation and justice and human rights and all that sh-t. But just in the past few months, we saw a mass genocide of tamils in Srilanka, we saw the brutal shootout of Osama bin laden and now Gadaffi. I dont justify the actions of Osama or gadaffi. The way human race behaves has not changed over millena. The whole concept of killing for revenge is not human, It is animal. Killing a fellow of your own species, how evolved that is! when that is done by countries claiming to be the epitome of justice and human rights, this means we 've got a long long way to go...
Killing would not end anything, killing would not end tyranny, it would foster if at all, it would not end terrorism, it would not end enimity, it would not end hate, to see this exuberant zeal in killing seen around the world today, it is just disheatening.
will a day come when we can forgive...deal with crime in a more humane way...really love peace...
will that day ever come?
