Mumbai Incident

I saw Mumbai incident online. It was shattering . My friend ( with whom I have shared room in boarding school for two years) lives in Mumbai. It was scary feeling thinking ," is she ok ." Finally, I was able to contact her. Thank God, she is fine. The thought of loosing someone whom I know closely scared me. The bombings have happened before, people have killed in accidents, earthquakes etc . But nothing had impacted me as much as this incident.

We read about bombings, earthquakes, poverty etc in newspaper, feel sorry for a while and move on but when it happens to someone we know, it shakes us from inside. This is so true, " jis tan laggey soye janney." The person who goes through , knows what she/he has been through. The rest are spectators who can just comment.

When some tradgey happens and it is not directly linked to us , we mourn for a while and then move on. This realization made me how selfish we are. It hits us only when the hammer is on us. May be that's why it has been said, " LIFE GOES ON " But I think we should do something . We should contribute to create a positive society where our children can grow up as healthy individuals. I am not saying we should not care about family and friends, ofcourse they are priority. But, we should expand our horizons . We should think about society as a whole.

What are we as human ? Human is full of emotions , emotions drives us Emotions is a vast term. And if we as human become considerate about other's emotions, the life will become much easy. I believe if each and every person should take responsibility of his/her own actions and be considerate about other people's emotions, then the world will be much better place to live.

The next question ," what is right or wrong ?" How do we know what is right. Something right can be looked upon as wrong from other's point of view. I have read somewhere- ACTION IS RIGHT WHEN THERE IS NO DESTRUCTION . We should all do the right thing because it makes the world better when we do.
