Meaningless lives!
by shiva on Nov 03, 2007 06:43 AM

Violence anywhere does not solve problems. The innocents get killed, but the perpetrators thrive in the chaos, to the point of no return and live afraid of peace. Their lives are centred on uncertainty and they justify their existence on creating havoc and more violence.

Rather than indulge in mindless killing, one should cosistently expouse the cause of the injustice and exert pressure in a non violent way. Let them take a leaf out of Gandhiji and presently Dalai Lama is following that.

We all should work towards an international panel and make the UN much stronger, so that few countries do not have too much say. Whatever the drawbacks in such a system, it can be better than mindless violence. Violence begets violence and the perpetrators live in fear and finally justice catches up with them.

To attain peace and justice is not impossible, and we can all join together to strive for a much workable system than what we have. Ultimately, we should have a way of give & take. The alternative is killing & destruction on a larger scale by a minority with more potent weapons by the day, with the majority suffering.

Finally, my take is that the super ego of one person is the root cause of many killings and once that person is no more around, the problem also disappears. We should have the ability and good sense to effect changes within the system.

Violence is the refuge of the hopeless.
