Why?

On the 11th of July, 2006 India saw another very traumatic event. Also now known as the 7/11..the seven consecutive bombings in one of India’s prime cities, Mumbai has left us all in shock. Still the never sleeping city is trying to live up to its name and is continuing to live its normal life. Though the people are hesitant they continue to go to work and school like nothing happened.
The question is why would anyone want to do something like that?? Is there no value for a mans life anymore?? Just because we are a country of billions does it mean that our life doesn’t count?? The life that god has given us, that life which only he has the power to take away, how is it that man seems to think that he can be God? How? Terrorist say that it is jihad and that it is Allah’s wish…no offence to any Muslims…but really is that what your Quran says? Man was given life to cherish, not to treat it like some trash which anyone throw away or destroy. Don’t people who do things like that feel bad about the innocent lives they are taking?? Or do they think their god would understand and forgive because according to them its for a good cause? What good cause? Isn’t there anything called humanity left on this planet?? Living for society, living for life…seems like none of it matters anymore. What point can anyone prove by taking away innocent peoples lives? If one wants to prove a point then educate yourself and fight for it in a way which is human? And if you are so proud of what you are doing then come outright and do it…why act like cowards and hide away?
To add to it, the political situation in the country is so bad that people always seem to keep passing on the blame and no one seems to want to do anything about it.
At the end of it all I can say is that it disgusts me to think about this revolting act and that its easy to blame each other but its tougher to stand together and make a difference.
