Bomb Blasts - The Bigger Message

As Al Gore mentioned in his speech that I saw earlier today, technology on one side contributes to the development of the human community but on the other side, it has led to some of the most destructive and suicidal inventions that question the existence of the human race! Certain inventions leave us puzzled and we often wonder if they are really boons or banes; and to me explosives are the most hypocritic inventions of mankind. While they are extremely useful in 'destruction for construction', they also contribute to the 'non-constructive destruction' that is illustrated at Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Turkey, Sri Lanka and a lot of other places where people are killed and massacred just so that some senseless group communicates its message to the world! But the real message that is being communicated by every bomb that goes off is just one - the death of humanity!

No one is going to live forever. We don't even know if we would be alive tomorrow; or for that matter if earth would be existent 100 years down the line. Then what is the point in fighting over abstract concepts and killing each other in the most undiplomatic fashion? What sin did a two year old kid waiting for her dad's arrival do; to have her innocent and affectionate father permanently taken away from her just so that someone else communicates a message to the Government?! Where would we end up after killing each other in the name of religion, caste, creed, race, nationality, hatred, greed, politics and a million other ways we have invented to divide ourselves? Do we really want to stare and stay away from every other human being, fearing if there is a belt of RDX that surrounds him/her? Is this the kind of insecurity that we would like our kids to have? Do we really want the next generation to live like rats fighting predation day after day? Nobody would be left even to fight if we keep killing each other at this rate...

Anything good will not prevent a man from valuing another human life and anything that makes a man ignore the value of another life cannot be good. The world is our home and the least help we can do to each other is to ensure peace to our neighbors and fellow human beings. Let's join hands, awaken the humans in us, make this world a better place to live in and let humanity live longer!
