The Dying & The Forgotten

I have to say, the world is one funny fucked up place. Wars are everywhere and people are dying - DYING. Instead of thinking about those people who died in vain, doing nothing to deserve their lives cut short and their future taken away from them, the remaining people who live [that's us] still have the guts to generalize facts and use the argument of race, religion, nationality etc etc to justify the action.

When someone died and all you can think about is their race or religion, I think something is definitely wrong with your thinking. If people die, they die. Their lives end notwithstanding their religions - Islam, Christian, Jews and so forth. When people died because someone killed them, you blame the people who killed them. You don't generalize stuffs and say - "whoah, your race did this, people of your religion did that." In my honest opinion, most of those who died had no idea what the killers did and how they had to be responsible not for their actions but for representing that 'supposed something' symbolic that justified their killing.

Shit, man, when you kill innocent people because of patriotism, do you think your country would be proud? Here's the honest truth - countries have no brains. They are an artificial entity. They don't care. Instead of thinking too much about what your country feels about you, maybe you should care about other human beings who actually live in it and how they would perceive you after you killed innocent people.

Race and religion don't make up who we are. Some people are not just Indians or Chinese or Christians or Muslims or Jews or Atheists, they are also mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, lovers, protectors and shoulders to cry on for many many other people in their lives.

It is an easy thought. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be present much in the world today.
