Everyday the
newspaper and TV shows are filled with horror, violence and all things that are
going bad in this world!
We live on a
planet where blood and gore are not just reserved for horror movies and Friday the
13th shows!
Politicians
rule the world and there is always a scramble to get to the top, to be the
king!
Everyone else
is trampled upon, everything else-is considered not worth considering!
Our children
grow up amidst hurry, hatred, fear and worry.
We wake up
rushed!
We rush with no
respect for the living or the dead!
Every day, I cross
a very important junction on my way to work and back. There is a huge hospital
and two fancy hotels at one junction.
The road at
that point is the worst stretch I experience every day!
Back breaking,
nerve racking, auto toppling and slow moving!
I also get to
see and hear a lot of ambulances while traveling down that stretch.
On most days,
the roads are blocked and the siren sounds painful; I sometimes hear the tears
and cries of the family in my head!
There is no
place for them to go!
Everyone
watches helplessly, trying to move as much as they can to make way for the emergency service.
I silently whisper
a prayer to help the ambulance reach quickly to the place where they can get the
affected the help they need.
As the scene
repeated itself this morning, I watched as I say my prayer, a young man, on a bi-cycle,
pull aside to the footpath to make way and silently mumble a prayer and touch
his lips in reverence.
All is not
bad in this world!
