It’s high time we realize we do not need a bomb blast to tell us our city is on high alert. Isn’t the whole world always on high alert. It’s been a decade of militancy, and really, we’ve got to introspect, are we really scared of death? Or are we selfish in being grateful, that we weren’t one of the many persons to have lost their ,lives. With time, many of us would even forget such a dastardly act of cowardice, but we have to understand that death does not have to come through a bomb blast, it can reach you through the most inexplicably subtle of ways, before you have time to react.
In this state of paranoia, we must obliterate every feeling of racial prejudice, any inhibition against ethnicity or religion from our mental curriculum, and stand with solidarity in the face of these heinous acts of terrorism. It is a difficult time for Mumbai, specially for grieving families who have lost loved ones, but calamities such as this give rise to fear and hatred; terrorists thrive on such realities, corroding our minds with scars that seldom heal, invariably making terrorists out of the timid.
It is time we put aside our cultural differences, transcend barriers of creed, and show these scumbags that unity in belief can create soldiers out of simpletons. Love and peace are only options, and we must pledge to build a solidified nation, common in perception, free from dissension, full of inspiration.
Starting from today, promise to put rudeness aside, put brotherhood in your stride, and eliminate hatred far and wide.
