Amongst the wide array of questions and views that are being sporadically being laid out after the blasts in Mumbai, a definitive stance that has been constantly entrenching my mind ever since is the complete lack of selflessness in one's viewpoint.
Lives have been lost, daily struggles for livelihoods have been disrupted and life goes on with the threshold growing a few feet higher. What wisdom lies in verbal and intellectual out lashes by condemning people? By furthering divides and restless speculation? Whether it's financial, political or extremist gain, the core ingredient that perpetrates such actions is self interest and anger. Is there any gain in adding more anger to an already hostile environment? As humans and not citizens; we need to have a more holistic outlook to life, detach ourselves from the amnesia of hatred and take responsibility for our world and not just our city or country. Blame, apathy and cynicism lead to disharmony and outrage. Let's lead life purely and let go of our self interest, after all; seeing someone else smile because of your actions makes your smile grow wider.
