Avoidable turmoil
These days, when one opens the newspapers, it is filled with
stories of atrocities happening around the world. The sufferings of people are
beyond explanation. In particular, women and children. There is absolutely no
safety for them and they end up as the first, fast and easy prey for the
tormentors.
Reading about the killings, I wonder why humanity has gone
back to the bygone era, when the world is highly advanced in terms of
technology and expertise.
Where there are no man-made calamities happening, we hear of
natural disasters. The recent floods in India, Pakistan, Philippines and other
countries are of high magnitude. It will take several years to rebuild what has
been destroyed. Let us at least try and strive to reduce the emotional
difficulties of those affected.
