"Be the change you want to see in the world", these were Gandhiji's words.
And after years of timeless effort and perseverance India won her independence on these lines. Such great words can come only from great men and women like Gandhiji, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Rousseau! These were the people of our own breed, who inspired the world at their time, in their own way. They not only created nations, but they also left some footprints for us to follow. The question is, are we going on the path given by them? Are we the next Gandhi, the next Mother Teresa? Are we the next Nelson Mandela? Or are we just "some other human who has turned ON his SILENT mode".
Look around you! Our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends and neighbours are being killed, harrased, irritated all around the world. There is an eye for an eye policy almost everywhere! And governments all around the world are spending millions of currency on technology which helps not to construct faith and build relations, but destruct them! But have you ever thought that why are these government officials, our leaders pushed into this circle of humanity's death? It is because of the silence of almost every individual alive on mother earth. When will this end?
All this bloodshed will end, when we - the citizens of the world - decide to end it. It will end when an eye for an eye will be replaced by a voice for a voice. We suffer from so many social problems, but we never raise a voice! There are 7 billion people in this small world. But never can I hear one single voice. All I hear is 7 billion different voices. In such a case, how can I know whom to look up to and whom to ignore; how can I know who is with me and who is not; how can I know who is my friend and who is not? When will I hear a voice of 7 billion people, and when will these 7 billion decide TOGETHER to stop this killing, harassing and irritating & when will human love human on this planet?
I carve for a solution today! While a voice, somewhere inside me says...you start and others will follow. Having no option but to listen to this peaceful voice inside me; I raise a voice today - to stop treating humans as targets, to stop treating them as deals - to start treating humans as humans.
After all, aren't we of the same breed?
Bis dann, till then,
Atharva
