TERRORISM- WHAT PATH DOES IT LEAD TO?

When I hear this word- terrorism, the only question which comes to my mind is why terrorism? Is it benefiting anyone of us in anyway? Perhaps to those whose  exhibiting of terror attacks become successful when thousands of innocent lives are snatched. Right? May be when there are dead bodies lying everywhere in one country there is a grand celebration happening in another country.

Did you notice what I wrote here? “Celebration happening in another COUNTRY”. This means that everyone in that country is joyous and contended. NO! Majority of us think this way. We blame everyone and start developing prejudice for that country’s people where actually who are involved are conceivably very few.

Unaware of the reality we make our relations more and more cruel with that country. But, in my opinion this is totally insane. Just think the other way. We all are gifted with only one life and this is so precious. While on the other side some people ruin it completely. We keep fighting and fighting and fighting. Why couldn't we en-root world peace?

I don’t want to point out any particular country or any particular attack, for I guess we all know what  all has happened recently. People are not even fully recovered from one attack and there is explosion at another place. Everybody has started living in so much terror! Where ever we are, in a train, a bus, cinema hall, office, school, you never know but anything can happen the next moment!

What is the result of all this? Nothing, but pain, pain and more pain.

If one loses and the other wins, what is going to happen? Everything will eventually end up one day. So, why not get engaged in constructive work and utilize this life by making it efficacious.

People who really had high dreams, were doing something productive for themselves and their country, also had to give up their lives for no reason, but sadly in an attack. Think what kind of dejection it is for their loved ones. Did they do something so wrong that their only punishment is death? What an irony is this! People who actually do some wrong are not castigated for years and those who are innocent are killed ruthlessly. Moreover, that thought of even imagining that any one of us who is watching the news now also could have faced that very situation, cause goose bumps.

I don’t want to go in deeper details, but the simple message I want to convey is that all this leads to no victory. It is only the defeat of the whole world no matter which part experiences such situation. We should be ashamed of ourselves that born with so much intelligence we human beings are deteriorating it by applying all our knowledge on how to make more explosive nuclear bombs! This way what world are we going to leave for our future generations? What will we teach them? Just imagine without terror attacks what great heights this world will lead to!

There is a true saying- terrorism is not the pursuit of legitimate goals by some part of illegitimate means. Whatever the murderers may be trying to achieve, creating a better world certainly isn't one of their goals. Instead they are out to kill innocent people. So, terrorism is surely the most destructive action ever. The easiest yet the most difficult way to stop terrorism is- stop participating in it, because terrorism is itself a war so there could be no war for terrorism.
