The price of Civilization: Terror

Terrorism has become a natural hazard for those living in cities. I am unmoved. So is everyone.

We all sit in front of the television, sigh and shed tears for those who died and those who lost their loved ones; then eat our dinner and go for a sound sleep. It’s as if terror is like a nasty road accident, as quickly as it happens, it vanishes from the public memory. Today we are shocked, tomorrow we shall sympathize, and day after we shall all forget but those who received the scars of terror. They will never forget. They will never forgive. They will never recover.

Just because we were not there by chance we feel that we are not supposed to worry ourselves. I look around and feel that I totally agree with these lines “God left this place a long time ago”. Now it’s as if an epidemic reproducing agents of chaos is eating away the very vestiges of our nicely ‘decorated’ ‘civilization’. What are we proud of? Is this what progress implies? The more civilized we get, the more we feel like eating each other away. This neo-cannibalism is the return gift; ladies and gentlemen; for the celebration of the pilgrim’s progress, the pilgrims of chaos

I feel for you.. In Mexico we do not have bomb blast, but we have kidnapping, executions, mass decapitations. It is a sick world especially when we are terrorized by our own.

Thank you for understanding that it’s not a problem of a country, it’s the problem of the whole society.

Just wait for some more Muslims to arrive. You will find bomb blasts in your routine.

i agree with you from start to end, but don’t you feel that the parasite is with in us... if we call it a society then it is a part and parcel of it all...

You have put it very well... this hatred and violence will beget only more hatred and violence...and hatred is not new, it has forever marched alongside pilgrim’s progress... and is the true cause of all chaos...

Thank you Madhuri.

and yes you are right. chaos is the opposite of order. just like darkness is of light. one just needs to tackle it right. when its not tackled, the result is evident of all of us.

Do you mean to say that we are being terrorised because we are civilised?

Its not about a separate sect of people. Its a global phenomenon. Its time we understand why they do it and condemn the reason rather than condemning their religion.

’reason’ is they condemn our religion...

even if they condemn some religion doesnt mean we condemn theirs. its as we are becoming them. its like countering terror with terror. do u think that would be right?

US burned Afghanistan after 9/11....was there other 9/11???....Chinese cops shot them Kashgar itself; could they reach Beijing? we need to think why it happens again and again over here....

Will it satisfy you if we just condemn? Our home minister Shri Shivraj Patil alwyas condemns it in the same words repeatedly. It should serve your purpose, No?

And I want to say this is a part and parcel of moving ahead without strengthening our foundation.

I don’t see why terrorism is appalling. Go back in time and you’ll realize people have always risen against the system or tried to create unrest. We blame the government for everything, but do we really understand terrorism? I don’t think so. At the end of the day, the way we behave has no ’defined logic’ to it. We are still animals.
