What has become of this world. So much cruelty, negativity and hate. Why? What feeds into these people to a point they’re willing to kill innocent lives.

The world some of us live in are peaceful, loving and understanding. Rewind back few years, our world as a whole somewhat found its’ peace. However, we can’t say the same for now, can we? It does cast a gloom onto all of us. Well, what happened to humanity? What happened to loving each other as one? So much hate to a certain religion all because some that represented that religion in a heinous way; to a point the assailant( Christchurch terrorist) would reciprocate likewise. The rationale behind this act? That’s the answer which lies within the sick minded person. However, in the end, there’s no slight difference at all between these terrorists. Regardless, their race, well being, conscience and etc. They are all terrorists. They are filled with so much odium and cowardice. They ruin the beauty of religion, and instead of spreading love, they instill fear through force.
Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war or self-consuming hatred. It can only be conquered by recognizing and claiming the wealth of values it represents for all – Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays
Our world is a cruel place. As bad as it sounds, that’s the truth. Some may be happy and contented whilst the other corner some are tormented with terror and living their live purely for survival and there’s nothing we can do but pity them, in our comfortable livelihood. ‘Make a difference’, the netizens may say but they don’t do anything in regard. It’s understandable that we cannot provide much for the people in need, myself included. The least one could do, is to keep them in your thoughts; maybe a prayer. As long sincerity is present.
With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism –
Malala Yousafzai
What we can do to alleviate this from happening again? To build a foundation strongly out of love and trust amongst one another. To put humanity first before religion. To have the mental capacity to say no to violence of any sort. To love the world. To love oneself. To offer what you can to world. To stand together regardless of ones’ belief, religion, way of life and etc.
Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it – Noam Chomsky
It’s a dark day, as for now, hope is what we have left. As much as there’re bad people out there, there are good people present too. Perhaps, which is why the world is still revolving. As for the victims and their families of Christchurch incident, my thoughts and prayers for your wellbeing.
The world is at your solace. Stay strong.
Every morning,
I wake up with the news,
of bloodshed.
I feel my body,
desperate to know whether,
I’m still alive – Suman Pokhrel
