We, human beings as a species, pride ourselves on our
intellect and our scientific achievements. The leap that we have made together
is remarkable still we are haunted time and again by events of violence,
terrorism, genocide etc. This attack on
common people of Paris going about their business has confirmed that there has
been a fundamental error in our evolution as “humans”. With the advancement of
communication one would think that people would use legitimate avenues to voice out their concerns but No, people
have continued using bullying, fear,
threat, violence and terrorism.
I do believe the number of people indulging in such crimes
is few but sadly that mass has somehow managed to destroy so many lives. Jaggi Basudev Sadhguru said that he refuses
to believe the war between countries and terrorists is a fight between right
and wrong. He says it’s a war of one belief system versus another belief system
and clearly they both validate their action in their own eyes and eyes of
peers.
Many experts claim that the terrorists are borne out as a
consequence of dominance that powerful countries have imposed in lesser
countries so as to manipulate them to their best interests. May be this neo-colonialism
or micro-managing by few countries have at least some role for the discontent. This discontent when fueled by extremist
belief surely can mutate a non-violent person into a violent one.
However, no matter what, the actions of terrorism , killing
innocent people isn’t justified. A person who has endured hatred, violence
should never inflict another human being .
Youths like me who were eagerly waiting for COP21 as a
transforming event for ensuring law, policy, and economics required for climate
change, have been shell shocked for the event has shaken the soul and belief of
so many souls and replaced their vigor
with melancholy.
The fact that many powerful countries are immune to UN sanction
and the thought that nuclear weapon could be in reach of so many people, is scary not only because
under such conditions our Earth is
destroyed, and humans could be wiped off of the face of the Earth.
So what could be the solution?
Honestly, I don’t know but the fact this tragic event in
Paris have united so many people worldwide showing their concern, support and
having dialogues, discussions about the issue in various platforms online and
offline about eradicating terrorism gives me a beacon of hope that one day(hopefully
in near future) we, all human beings
will understand each other better , respect and accept each other’s
differences all the while gradually pruning inhumane practices and ultimately
curing extremism through non-violent means.
