ACT NOW

As one famous story goes, there are two wolves within each and every one - the good & the bad – it is totally upon us as to which one we feed, and allow to get stronger.

Common sense (which is very uncommon among the common man) tells us that we need to feed the good wolf. We need to unite the people, make them realize that although there are differences of religion, caste, race, class or whatever, finally all are one big band of brothers.

Its time to understand why this menace began; it started because of some groups of people feeling left out, feeling unimportant, unwanted; due to lack of mutual understanding, mutual respect.

People are not expected to magically bounce back, but yes, they are expected to bounce back to fight, to fight and destroy the negative elements in society; to UNITE, and plant the seeds of a truly civilized society, without war, terrorism, hatred, revenge, ego, and anger.

We need to BE THE CHANGE, and not just ask for it.

I too have called the terrorists cowards, but I realize that they are not cowards, we are. They are brave, but their bravery is used up for the wrong purposes. We are cowards because we do not act, we get angry, we feel upset, but we do not act, we do not change. Unless we do not act, there will be no change.

CHANGE – ACT NOW

“Mumbai’s Resilient Spirit” needs to be channeled, so that we resiliently fight terrorism, and not resiliently be mute spectators of the mindless drama, and senseless violence going on around us.
