I do not understand how can blasting bombs in public places and killing innocent people be a solution to any damn problem?! It is not something that bombers should be proud of, in fact this shows how coward they are. If they have got real guts they should directly attack those people or organizations who they think are the reason for their disappointment.
But for how long will this news make a difference in our lives? We angry now, we show our grief, our disappointment, our anguish, our agony, and hope that it never happened. We want to kill those who did it. Bad people… very bad people we say… Soon the storm will calm down, the waves will level up… We forget… Fearless again, we get busy with our lives… A couple on a date, A family out for a Saturday evening, A small kid buying a lollipop, A mother buying a vegetables, A brother buying a gift for his sister… … … Bang…! bang again… and again… Series of blasts… whoz next….?? The cycle continues…

The reason I am writing all this is not to say, “Its high time we should do something”. Something…what something…?? Things have gone too far and I see no coming back… But there is something each and everyone of can do.. Try being good to people around you… Because during the bad times someone might pop-up and say, “Hey, Dude let me take you to the Hospital”… and the reason would be just as small as a smile, that you passed them when they were disappointed in life…
A small request for those who have read so far. If you can take out few seconds, please pray for the souls of those innocents who have lost their lives for no reason.
May their souls rest in eternal peace. Ameen.
