Our world would have been a much better place, had we not
forgotten why God made us different from the other beings and positioned us as
the “Master of all creatures”. We were given this edge over others, so that we
can think for our own betterment as well as others’, what the animals can’t.
What we ended up doing is, harming our own species as much as harming the
others.
We do not need to experience hell post death, for we have
well turned our world into a living example of the same. We won’t ever stop
playing the blame game for it, but what is undeniably true is that we all have
equally contributed to it. In fact, ironically we do express the same without
realizing it. For example, while paying condolence over someone’s death, we add
these words while sympathizing that- “May their soul rest in peace, for they
have been freed from the shackles and the miseries of life”. That means we agree
that this world is a cruel and miserable place to live in. How conclusively we
have drifted the beautiful nature created by the almighty, into the soup of
despair.
It is tiring and distressing, to have that daily dose of
gloomy news, about brutal crimes that throw the victim’s life mentally,
physically, emotionally or socially out of order. What doesn’t make sense is
that sometimes, the most heinous crimes are over matters as little as over-taking
a vehicle on the road. What is wrong with us humans? Why have we given away our reasoning power
and are taking decisions with our impulsive nerve? Is there no value of a human
life in our eyes? We cannot personally
dispense justice to anyone but, what we can do on our part is to prevent
ourselves and other near ones from falling prey to someone’s frustrated and
drained logic. To bring about a change, we need to start monitoring ourselves
and our temperament and avoid being a victim of hastiness. If each of us does
that, a change is not far away.
