Violence
has been a curse for mankind for ages. In the past, incidents could not reach
everyone due to the unavailability of the media. The manner they were recorded
might have been as subjective and biased as they are at present. Even today, we
remain uninformed, moreover misinformed about many past and present facts.
Segments with vested interests have always intentionally, promptly and
skilfully misused the rapidly changing contemporary media. They expertly
portrayed a noble person as an offender; and vice versa too, with similar
proficiency. The architects who gave us the gift of the golden present-day were
maliciously portrayed as villains for the damages during the course which were
both unavoidable and unintended. Distortion of facts is knowledgeably utilised
to distract, offend or incite a section or a nation, leading to a conflict
which usually culminates into a devastating encounter. Encounters vary in
presentation and so do the wounds. The wounds may heal but the scars remain and
keep reminding the following generations about the ferocity and the skirmishes
of the past. Faith, belief and religion are now more potential and dangerous
weapons than conventional armaments. Dirty, disgusting and murky politics have
taken a sizeable toll on mankind. Filthy interests have bled humanity beyond
limits. This needs to stop urgently and forever.
Let creative thoughts take a fearless flight and kindness reach new skylines. Let us be human and humane. We cannot survive on hatred. We need to breathe compassion to stay alive. The world desperately needs sympathy to persist. Let love be supreme.
