The various events, situations that I come across makes me wonder time and again if we are heading backwards or we are leading our lives with reverse gear....Tolerance for differences in society seems to be diminishing with each passing day. It is a common sight to see communities or people of a particular idealism or philosophy forming clusters. It would have been a positive trend had this cluster formation found its source in the concept of tolerance or brotherhood. My apprehension steps from the fear that these clusters are grounded in fanaticism and with a passion to eliminate all that does not agree with their idealism. But the bigger question is what in the first place has led to this kind of clusters to be formed? why is everyone talking of some sect of the society being responsible for terror acts? why only some people are labelled as antisocial and threat to world peace? Maybe the developed nations need to look within themselves for answers to these questions!!! The fire that seems to be engulfing them was started in their own pursuit of power and dirty game of politics. Its like saying I will plant parthenium and expect it to give fresh air...would that ever be possible. Its time people wake up and work towards eliminating the root cause than just targeting people causing it. The countries that fuelled this seed of hatred need to do something fast....its not that people take up arms for a voccation because it pumps up their adrenaline, they do so in utter frustration. What we all need to work towards is create a situation that prevents this frustration or not to let it grow further than what it has, that only means bringing the not so fortunate on par with the intellect of the developed economies so that they channelise this new found knowledge towards constructive planning and growth and not towards destructive radical behaviour!!!
