As I woke up this morning, a bad memory flashed into view. It's something awful that always puts me into deep pain and fear.
Not too long ago.. There was a bomb
blast in the locality I live.. It took away life's of few innocents.. And left
behind painful scars for many. Even before the scars could heel and fade
away, there was another devastating incident which took the city by
storm. It claimed the life of a mother, injured few and left the others in
trauma.
The
question that keeps taunting me is..
Where is this world going to? This cruelty, hatred, greed, How did it find us? Do we have a name for this darkness that is breeding inside us..??
Where is this world going to? This cruelty, hatred, greed, How did it find us? Do we have a name for this darkness that is breeding inside us..??
Someone once said, We would soon reach a
time, where we send our children into the world like we send young men to the
war.. Hoping for their safe return, knowing that we would lose some of
them along the way... And today we have reached that world. We have
reached the time where we are obsessed with our own desires and go to any
extent to take what is ours and not bother whom we hurt along the way!
When did we lose our way? When did
we let the darkness take over us? Did it consume us... Or did we seek it out
and embrace it with our lives?? Is there still even a slightest reason to
believe that humanity exists among us?
Every time I think of this distressing
event, I find no reason to believe that we are still 'being humans'. There is
no reason left for me to believe that it's going to get better after each day.
But still something keeps pushing me, a voice that constantly says I should
never give up believing, it always echoes that I should hold on to the little
hope stuck in some corner of my heart.
This voice constantly keeps echoing
within all of us. Every time you are losing hope, or giving up on something,
or when you tend to do something that
you shouldn't ...it echoes. It's like a warning alarm. It's like a guide within
us. But most of the time we tend to ignore it. We get so easily carried away by
the things around us that we have forgotten to listen and do what our hearts
say. Probably if the person behind causing these awful events had given just
one minute and listened to his heart, we wouldn't have lost our dreams, our
dear ones, our lives.
I don't know whether am trying to
question things for which answers are unknown or am trying to make a judgment..
Or trying to find an answer for the innocent souls who left for no fault of
theirs.. Or maybe I am just too confused and lost a midst this darkness! But
whatever it maybe, whether or not am going to find an answer for my questions,
I surely have got reminded of something that I had forgotten to do. To LISTEN.
To listen to the voice of my heart.
With a hope that soon things would
change and we get to live and give our generations to come to live, in a world
that is whole lot better than today, I wish that I wake up for a better
tomorrow.
We all will have to live with the fear of facing the dreadful tomorrow, unless each one of us don't play our part in changing this world to a better place. we all wish to wake up for a better tomorrow.
