The Fight for The Prayers !!!

I was just reading on Friday about the Beirut bombing killing hundreds of people and it made my heart sink. But it was just another bombing in the troubled country and nothing more. I was off to sleep and then Saturday morning I woke up to the horrific attacks in Paris. People all over were saying “pray for paris”, and I was just like, “What about Beirut?” which is ironically called as “Paris of the middle east.”

That’s when I realized how insensitive I have become as a human. How insensitive we all have become that it does not matter anymore. Every human’s drop of blood matters. It is never right to compare one tragedy with another. Every attack against humanity is a scar made in our history books. Whether it be Paris or Beirut or Baghdad or NY or anywhere else in the world, no human should live in fear for their survival and existence. Nobody should think twice to just go out with friends or family to have a good time without having risked their lives from these shitty terrorists.

Nobody deserves to not be able to meet their family, friend or love of their life just because some nut heads have an agenda to achieve. Nobody should be able to have a guilt all their life thinking that, “maybe if I had gone to a different restaurant my family would have been alive”, or “maybe if I had listened to my wife she would be alive today” or any such thing.

Terrorists and hate groups just want to spread terror and hate to further propel their over all goals – whatever they may be. They ultimately tend to not care who they hurt. You either fight with them or are against them, even if you are the same nationality or religion etc.

I am just not able to wrap my head around the direction which we are heading towards as humans. I don’t know if I must feel sad or angry or just give up on the future of our existence. How do we make these people understand that whatever their actions are, they are just doing harm to the world and nothing else.

The people I worry about are the poor migrants. The very thing they’re running from has chased them into Europe. If the terrorists succeed in provoking enough of an anti-migrant backlash, it is not hard to imagine the migrants in Europe evolving into a multi generational stateless group of perpetual victims like the Palestinians, except on European soil. Maybe that’s what these terrorists wanted. They do not want anybody to win, just cause chaos and terrorize the world.

Just a few days back I was watching a video on YouTube about the LP Golden record attached on Voyager 1 launched in 1977 with images and music and other stuffs about us humans and humanity, which has just crossed our solar system after a journey of billions of Kilometers and 37 years, to share our message to the universe just in some diminished bleak hope that maybe someday someone will find it and our existence will be studied by an extra terrestrial life. We do not even know that the message will even be discovered by anyone, as the Voyager 1 will get lost among the stars as it travels far away from our Galaxy, but the LP record will exist long after the Earth’s existence will be a history too and perhaps be the only proof of our existence in the Universe.

The people killing always have a justification from their side, but does that really matter to a normal family guy who is just trying to survive everyday and make his life go on?

It is just astonishing that how in the same planet we have two different kinds of people. One who wants to make the Earth a better place and another who wants to destroy it. But I can gladly say that we as humans have always fought through wars and terrors and genocides. We will stand for each other and we will make this place a better place one step at a time.

We all join hands as one and stand against the wrong doings happening around us, and we are very proud of the people who get up after the fall, shrugg off the dirt and move on with hope and strength in their eyes, slapping these cowardly terrorist’s beliefs that they did not win this time and they never will.

I guess that’s why the world is as dark as it is. If good people were the majority, like they always claim, there would be a better world.- “Pray for all Humanity”
