Be the change you want to see


While everyone is wondering and trying to reach a conclusion on the recent Mumbai blasts, when will one stop and see what we have done. Are we to blame for this mess. PREJUDICE- We need to stop it. Why?
Simple. It has to start within us. When we talk about terrorist and religious fanaticism which leads to such horrible acts of cruelty, Have we ever stopped and looked the random acts of the same prejudice that we follow. Sure, the people who call themselves religious warriors are just a hyperbolic version of each and every one of us.
When will we realise each random act of any one of us telling our kids or friends or anyone for that matter not to serve him or get served because of the background- it be race, religion or country. This suppression and/or meddling is what people don't like. This it s what makes one miserable and try to fight it. Does it matter to him how he reaches the end of the fight. NO. These are the acts that get blown out of proportions to wage war against each other.. But aren't we missing the big picture...We are still made of the same blood, we are still born from a womb, we are still loved by our parents and friends..the love we share is still real.
So let's promise ourselves that until the earth or religious institutions start spewing out humans, let's not practice the prejudice and suppression which leads people to do stupid things for simple monetary gains. let's not make the world a non livable space for the future generations. For all we are trying is to take care of our family and provide for them.
