Citizen's Alive organized the Pune leg of the Global Peace Walk on the 10th of December 08. As a part of the movement, it was quite amazing to witness how much the people have awakened since the 26/11 blasts. Youngsters, who earlier were considered to not care about what happens in the country, were a majority in the Rally. Many of them were seriously of the opinion that it is a now or never situation in the country. If we don't take a stand now... the change that we want to see, will never materialize.
And i agree with that sentiment. As the tag line goes " Be the Change you want to see". I think, and i disagree with my previous post, (which was just written in a state of pure anger), that it has to be a fully rounded change in the entire system, in the mindsets of the people, to the extent of various behaviors. We have to start taking onus and not just blame. We have brought ourselves to the place we are in, good and bad. And we will be the ones to take ourselves where we get. So its up to us to make sure that we get to a better place.
Why settle with worthless leadership and just complain, when we can enter the system and change it for the better. If we don't do it, who will?? Why adjust to unacceptable living situations when we can unite and improve things. It will take time. And it will take effort. But if we never start, it will never happen. So its better if we start now. Because there is not better day to start something good, than today!!
I just hope that everyone realizes this. Several drops make an ocean. 1 man can really make a difference!!
In the legendary Trojan war, The War Of Troy as many may know it, Troy was unbeatable for her walls were impenetrable. But as the legend goes, Troy was in ashes when Achilles and his Myrmidons breached her walls with deceit.
Today i feel like a trojan. My beautiful country has been attacked by outsiders. They entered my land and are burning my land, killing my people and attempting to intimidate us by fear.
In the Trojan War, the entire Greece had to unite to bring down Troy. I think we should learn a little something from them. We should all unite, shed our differences, and come together as one. For, our enemy is not one of us, it is an outsider and the fear that they are enforcing upon us.
I refuse to live a life of fear. Around 260 years ago, the British invaded us, and we succumb to the fear. It took us 200 years to gather the strength to overthrow them. I refuse to let that happen again. This time round we will not succumb to the fear. We will not turn the other cheek. We will hit them back, and hit them hard.
The entire world is aware of the real source of this violence. I say we kill the gaddam source. For once and for all, India will have to end this game that has taken more lives than it can afford. We care more of how the rest of the world will react if we fight back, but the rest of the world is not seeing thier own people die innocently, we are. So I say to hell with what others think. We have to fight back. And in a way, that they will never stand back up.
I am a muslim and these attacks have nothing to do with my religion. If anything its attacking my religion as well. There was a muslim wedding going on in The Taj the day of the blast. Do you think that these terrorists care if the one dying by thier RDX is a hindu or a muslim? No. They are attacking Indians. And we need it to stop.
How many more lives will have to go before we get the balls to stop this?? I say, KILL THEM!!! And end this wicked game once and for all!!!!
