Thou Shalt be Killed by Your Fellow Man....and Brutally

Reading newspapers is a very bad habit. It makes you see things that you don't want to see, tells you about stuff you don't wanna know about. It makes you see the human race for what it is really- a primitive cannibalistic tribe. Am I being a bit too harsh? I don't think so. Consider this- Is there any other species on earth that is as savage, as ruthless as humans? We kill our fellow humans for something as small as a piece of land, an ornament, something as insignificant as religion. We murder, we pillage, all in the name of God. We suppress the weak and boot-lick those who stronger than us. We are divided into countries, races, religions(Oh my!), regions, sub-sects and for these divisions we are always ready to kill each other. Come to think of it, an alien species will not have any problem conquering us. They have to just let us be and we'll kill us ourselves.

Worst of all, we are not just violent, we are also stupid and dumb. We are as dumb as a flock of sheep which can be led anywhere by the shepherd, even to the butcher-house. Our shepherds are our great leaders, who don't care about anything beyond their Swiss bank accounts. And of course, we are too stupid to see that they are just leading us to our doom. Perhaps the aliens have already collaborated with them. They would be crazy not to.

I'll give you examples from my part of the world. India and Pakistan went their separate ways in 1947 thinking that by splitting the Hindus and Muslims all the problems will be solved. At least Mr. Jinnah thought so. And now look at Pakistan. It is now divided into Shiyas and Sunnis, Punjabis and Sindhis, original Pakistanis and those immigrated from India at the time of Independence. What do you say now, Mr. Jinnah? Wanna make some more splits? India- the Golden Bird- where are your wings now? Someone broke Ambedkar's idol, and there are riots. In Gujrat the hypocritical politicians make election hay. And I am not just talking about Modi. I am talking about all of them. One word from them, the so-called leaders, Congress, BJP, all of them, and the riots would have calmed down. Why didn't that one word come? They probably thought they would look better on camera consoling the bereaved rather than telling the mobsters to stop.

Want another example? Come down to Karnataka. If you are a non- Kannada speaking fellow, you'll be called an 'outsider' right to your face. Thank you, great leaders. Want more? Read a newspaper. You'll hear what's going on in Malaysia. You'll hear about the modern Crusades. You'll hear how brutally people are killed by their fellow humans, for race, for religion.

Imagine what Gandhi would have done if he were there- he would have gone on another Satyagrah. Yes, against his own countrymen, and he would have succeeded. He was a really great and a really misunderstood man. And people of today think it's high fashion to talk crap about him. Get real guys, he was a human, not a God. You think you could do better? Then please go ahead and try. Don't preach from the armchair.

God should not have given humans intelligence. She should have given us wisdom.
