Patriotism Or Terrorism !!

What is the difference between Patriotism and Terrorism? Or they are just synonyms to one another. 

I happened to watch Snowden, and there was this scene which goes like -"...five, four,three,two,one. Engage target. Attack." And with the target, four-five random people are gone in a cloud of dust.

Middle east countries have become a video game for USA, they are looking at them on their screens all the time and the moment they "feel" something is wrong, BOOM and there goes the cloud of dust. Two-three causalities with that one "potential" threat are normal. But those two-three casualties have now become thousands of innocent human lives. Those lives are not worth anyone's time. Those people are just objects on a computer screen. 

Everyday people come out of their houses, not knowing if they will make it back or not. Imagine a kid, who has seen this horror throughout his childhood, someone from somewhere dropped a bomb and his parents, his friends were dead in a matter of few seconds. They have been paying a price for the crime they never committed. Their own home, their own country has become someone else's battleground so at last those people decided to retaliate, and are called terrorists.

Look at the another scenario, after tolerating Britishers for years, American colonies retaliated. They did it because Britishers invaded their country and imposed their rules on them. And when people couldn't tolerate their inhuman behavior, they decided to fight back. It gave birth to the great American Revolution, this was called Patriotism. But from British point of view it was an act of Terrorism

I do not support terrorism at any cause, you can't justify killing an innocent person just because something bad happened to you. All I am saying is, some of them are trying to defend their country from foreign invasion, just because you are a powerful country, doesn't give you the right to decide the future of every nation on the map. 

How would Americans feel if there were drones over their heads all the time? Imagine the psychological situation of those middle east countries, to erase some potential threats thousands of innocent people are killed every year. Casualties in countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan due to American drone attacks are way more than 9/11 casualties and people are still dying because one douche bag attacked the world's most powerful country. 

So it doesn't matter if it's a terrorist activity or a patriotic one, innocents pay the ultimate price !!!

Where has happiness vanished !!!

According to WHO report India is the 2nd most depressed nation in the entire world, even Pakistan is better than us. And India has the world's largest youth population so basically young people are depressed. 

We spent our childhood running behind some dreams which were given to us by our parents or our society. And in the process we forgot to live. We set a reminder that once this race is over, we'll enjoy life. It wasn't our fault, we were programmed like this. We didn't even realize when and how that race trapped us, it became an infinite loop and now we don't know how to get out of it.

This is the story of almost every youngster in our country. Some of us were able to fulfill all those dreams and some of us failed miserably. But none of us is happy. That dream of good paying job was supposed to bring us happiness, but it became something our parents could boast about. 

No one ever asked that highly successful kid, who is finding his happiness in pubs every Friday night, is he happy? Why would anyone bother, he is supposed to be happy, he has everything now. And that's what life is about, right?

And there is another kind, the one's who failed, there lives were made miserable by everyone around them, sometimes to an extend that they had to end it. Those who are still breathing are still struggling, fighting with themselves because they have lost faith in their own talent. Something inside them is broken and it can not be fixed. 

I haven't seen a single happy face around me in a long time, I have seen people pretending to be happy and that's more irritating. Drinking few beers, getting high is the new happy in town. Or changing the city, leaving for some another country to find new motivation in life is another. We are running after the temporary solution because we live in the present moment, right? But those beers come with a bad hangover and an addiction, they do create an illusion but that's it. Is it how we wanna live the only life we get? 

We are wasting our numbered days doing things we don't like, living with strangers, the people we really love are far away, the things we wanna do are still in that bucket we created.

Love is the only positive energy around, and we don't have that energy in our life anymore. We don't love the work we do, we don't love the people we live with. What exactly this generation is trying to achieve? 

The beginning......

The beginning......

             

I come from a society where birth of a boy is celebrated, overly excited parents organize a big event and invite useless family members and waste their money, time and energy.

I mean how does it matter if it's a boy or a girl, you gave birth to another life, isn't it a big enough reason to celebrate?? 

Well NO, in my society it's not. If it's a girl it's a sign that the mother will have to bear another child, nothing else!!

And we talk about equality in THIS society. There will be no equality until  we stop crying when a girl is born. You never wanted her in this world, how the hell you will treat her equally, when she will always be a sign of her parents loosing to the probability of having a boy. She was never the first choice even on the day she was born and this fact remains with her parents no matter how much they love her.

The regret of having a girl is always there with them and that regret in her parents's eyes makes her the weaker sex. She will always feel the burden her parents felt. We make our girls feel lesser, we make her feel she is unwanted in this society.

I find it funny when a guy says- "I respect women but so many of them are not willing to respect themselves, they don't think they are capable enough to compete with men". Who made her think like that??? Why don't we see a guy's mind wired like that?? 

The answer is simple, next time you hear a woman say that, It's YOU, who made her feel and think that way, every element involved in our society made her feel that way. 

She was never given a chance to build a personality, she's been busy proving her worth and begging for approval from the society.
