In a World of Magnets and Miracles..


we live.. and such an atrocity takes place. 174 people, 174 lives.. gone.. just like that. And hundreds more, injured.The blame game has been on for quite some time, and Pakistan was made the first scapegoat, as usual, though, again, as usual, evidence does point towards it. The home minister has offered to resign, though I cannot, for the life of me, see what good that will do. He offers to take "moral responsibility" for the attacks. Of what conceivable use is "moral responsibility" to any person affected? 

But indeed, what can bring back their losses? The compensation given by the government? There is absolutely no way. Gone, forever, because of some group called the deccan mujahideen. The Deccan Mujahideen. I don't really want to be bombed because I didnt capitalize their names. In a world that we claim is civilized, killing hundreds of other people to achieve their own ends.. that's just barbaric. Its animal.. They're animals. Animals. They're just a Waste Of Blood And Organs. 

There's absolutely nothing one can do about it. Nothing specific, anyway. Vigilance - that's just a generalized measure.. its like saying "Be careful..you don't want to get an infection.." Nobody wants to, but in case one comes along, the only thing that'll truly help is specific prevention: something, that's called specific prophylaxis, in medicine. And without that, we're helpless against any disease. Such as terrorism. There'll always be bad eggs in the world. Because, it takes all kinds to make a world. And that is something that'll always work against us. And something we'll always be afraid of. There isn't a cure for terrorism. All the world leaders talking about "abolishing" and "rooting out" terrorism, that isn't about to happen. Unless we submit to the demands of these chaps. And that isn't reasonable, either. The Bible does tell you to turn the other cheek. But it neglects to mention a course of action upon the other cheek being slapped.

PS: Yesterday's story was supposed to be today's post; this is an extra.
