Time to Realize!!!

Someone once said - "Very soon will be a time when Man will kill man for his survival!!"... Has the time come? Is this what we see in our daily life?

Everyday when I turn the pages of the Newspaper or surf through the News Channel, I come across news on death, murder, suicide, bloodshed -LOSS OF LIFE!! Who is to be condemned for this? Terrorist? Media? Illiteracy? Unemployment?

If we say all Terrorism is on a high in this world, the question that arises in my mind is Who is responsible for this? Some might simply say "Terrorists"... The question that I raise here is "Who is a terrorist?"... None among the so called proclaimed terrorists have come out of their mother's womb as a terrorist.. They were born in the similar manner as you, me or any other normal person who might just cross our path... Then what is it that leads them into becoming a so called "TERRORIST".... Next time you see or hear of the word Terrorist, please do make an effort to think why an innocent soul has been converted to someone so dreadful enough to take life / lives without any sort of regrets.

Also, a few might accuse illiteracy and unemployment as a reason to the killing, bombing, murder, rape scenes across the world. But could one define "illiteracy" as the opposite of knowledge that we have acquired with reading books and getting degrees. I would not recognize today’s Modern Education as a source of cutting down the illiteracy. The crime scene that took place in London Shoot out in a University campus by students makes it evident and clear that the act of taking lives does not depend on how literate a person is. Its all about the state of mind of the person where still pertains a little level of innocence which needs to be recognized and praised so as to avoid the flipside of the mind and similar acts.

Does Media play any role in the state that the world is in now? I would say media needs to be much more organized and aware in what they display.. At times when I go on to any Indian News channel, I feel disgusted at the quality of news they cover.. Unwanted questions are asked to unknown people over some not so important topics so as to get the spice in their News channel.. A few years ago during the War in Kargil, where the army was fighting to protect the boundaries between India and Pakistan, the headlines of a local newspaper in India was "India loses one more" and the context was related to the Indian cricket team losing a cricket match... How ignorant can one be?... Think over the News we actually watch and acknowledge only the news that is important... rest can be taken as some entertainment TV Series.
