Death.... & life???

In the words of a very famous writer,I quote
" Every thing has death, except death itself."
The above said is a simple yet a true sayin.

All around we turn, the topic of death is tossed and turned near our faces like it is of a mere plaything. The kind of true, deep, unhidden meaning and emotion the word used to spark through our bodies is now replaced with an indifferent, unsymphatetic spirit. Any human great or common, knowlegable or ignorant, big or small acknowledges the thought of death at least once in there lives. This thinking of having to face death, which will put a stop to this wordly life is definetely unnerving. But that attitude is for one weak at heart. The traces of death is everywhere in the "civilized world" where every barbaric act claims a life. These so called wars-for- democrcay, wars to make this life better is utter gibberish and misjudged.
Why would anybody want to reform the earth into a haven for living at the cost of millions of innocent and unconnected lives? The rivalry in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Albania, Chechenya, Sri Lanka, Kenya, the civil wars in India, what end has this brought us to? A few of these countries maybe on the news everyday but what about the rest? All long, lost and won? The wars are erupting and on going. There will be no solution to it. The outcome which the concerned wanted is not seen, the result of lives lost is what the heartless ones wanted and they get it.
All these thoughts and views may sound far away to us, but we are the audience sitting in an ampthitheatre without tickets looking at the massacres taking place in front of our eyes. What is the difference between us of now and the speculators of the gladiators of the past, who got themselves killed or eaten up by an animal to prove there worth?
People dying in 10,000's is considered horrible. 10 people killed is not news anymore!!! We, the citizens of the world, the educated mass, the creatures bereft of feelings fail to consider that just one death in a family is the most major tragedy in that lineage. We humans feel so sad when we experince or see the death of a close relative that one death almost equals the death of the whole world for us.
Have any of us felt that loss? Loss of a parent or siblings. Just those thoughts will give us nightmares. Read the following incidents:

Once a woman was bathing her 40 day year old beautiful baby when the Isralities bombed the place. That left her dead and the child alive. Wht difference does that make? The child is going to grow motherless or imagining or trying to imagine her mothers' last touch.

Or how would we feel about a woman who in the time of her labor was forced to go past the Israel soldiers, who refused to let her husband accompany her to the hospital. How would a woman feel if the father of the child is no where in the picture when their baby is being born into this disgraceful, sinful world? The story doesn't stop there. The woman gave birth to a beautiful baby and she was filled with tears of joy when those tears would be later shed for her dead husband.

All these are real. This is not said to seek empathy but to prove as an eye opener to the atrocities around us. We the people living in a different peaceful world enjoy luxuary and comfort. We do not have any thoughts disturbing us albiet unnecassry ones.
We worry, we worry as to how our friends or teachers treated us. We worry about the row we had with our loved ones or even our enemies, we worry about our homeworks or assignments, we worry about the still- to- shop- for- new- clothes- to- the- party, we worry about our empthy cosmetics boxes, we worry about whether our friends would get us the movie we wanted to watch.
So many worries yet all inconsequential & trivial.
Do we worry about the fact that it might be the last time we see our families alive? Or the possiblity of getting blown up?
Our anxiety is not in connection with the ones who will face an imminent death in the warfront. Our fear is not concerning that, it totally comprises of other useless distractions.
There are to be frank little we can do to help the people caught in the conflict. But the saying goes,
" Prayers can move mountains." If we atleast pray for there prosperity to the Almighty we can atleast assure ourselves that we are doin a great service to the humanity at large.
We conclude by saying contributions need not be great the fact that you want to is itself great.
