FROM ONE HUMAN TO ANOTHER

Dear reader,

This week, I’m not posting a short story or a poem. This week, I’m not sharing my imagination. This week, I’m sharing my thoughts with you. It is with great pain yet with determination I write these words, not only for me, but for you all.

Nearly hundred and fifty dreams crushed, stopped smiling, and faced real fear. We share not only a border with them, but our souls, as we stand united and see this terrible phase. The incident that occurred in Pakistan recently itself writes a new chapter in the history. This incident itself rises as a question mark for the whole world, is Islam really cruel and ruthless?

I for one, disagree with this as I have my own reasons. Maybe the ones behind this incident didn't follow their Holy Book after all. Maybe they all did this in the name of ‘Sacrifice for God’. But was it all necessary? Mothers cried, blood was shed, screams roared around everywhere. But was it worth the idea of ‘sacrifice’?

In this tough time, I pray for the souls that left us. Be it Pakistani or Indian, we all are humans and this division was created by us, and we ourselves are destroying everything. Remember, everything around us is not ours. We are just invaders of a planet that support life. We own nothing. So, we have no right to destroy anything, let alone a human life.

There is still time for a change. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” So stand united, forget religion and all barriers fight against this, and pray for the lost soul.

Yours Faithfully,

A human being.

P.S: If I have hurt anyone’s feelings, I kindly apologise.
