Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF PURE LOVE We are passing through troubled times, with violence dominating the news in many places. In Iraq of course, gruesome atrocities have become so common that as far as the Media are concerned, they have stopped being news. Then we had the multiple bombings in the suburban trains in Bombay that killed nearly two hundred and wounded many more. Right now, the situation in the Middle East is hotting up badly, making everyone very worried. And as if all this is not enough, there is the daily quota of violence all over the place, in slums, in the ghettos and so on, apart from what is called Maoist violence in India , which rages unabated. Just a couple of days ago, nearly forty tribals were massacred and in the process, a six-month old child was mercilessly thrown into the fire. It is very painful to mention all this but we have to draw attention to the ugly to stress how casual and sometimes even indifferent we are to the beautiful. Violence is nothing new; it has always been there from times immemorial. Man having evolved from animals, has a natural tendency to violence inherited from animals. However, God in His Mercy has given man many tools, using which man could check and keep violence under control. But unfortunately, he does not appreciate the power latent in him and seldom uses those tools. To make matters worse, man constantly uses his wonderful brain to invent new methods of inflicting devastating violence in very cruel ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
