It is surprising but so many people around the world now are getting insane, crazy or diving into the world of stupidity. Imagine them hurling explosives, mass shootings, fighting, bickering, ambushes, and many kinds of deadly skirmishes that never happened some years ago. Wholesale killings, I mean murder by the dozens are ordinary happenings now and it seems nobody is worried much less horrified bout it. They don’t happen just in foreign lands but right in our own soil specially in Mindanao.
Something must be wrong somewhere that needs world and local leaders to discuss about. Everyone around the world must get involved too for safety. I am so concerned because as I read news report, it looks everyday is just another day of massive killings. I look at it as foolish and unnecessary – – a thing that we must stop. From European countries, to the Americas, Asian and everywhere are bloody encounters that result to chaos and confusions. Why are these happening? Is peace so elusive now that it flies far and vanish into thin air?
What is happening to the intelligence of people that it seems there is failure of understanding by one another? Have we returned to those era or moments when we truly belonged to the kingdom of the animals and we fight at first sight? Or this is God’s way of controlling over population worldwide. We know for a fact that because of modern medical science, technology and skills, man lives longer than ever. Comparing to the olden days when people die of simple infections, today heart, kidneys and other vital organs could be replaced and patients get off from the hospital in a few days. Many people used to die with dog bites but ironically now in some places, man bites a dog and even eats it.
I urge people to be aware of what is happening around the globe, Be ready and avoid places where explosions or activities of terrorism may strike. If we noticed, the favorite areas for the terrorists to strike are the crowded ones, the places where a lot of people converge or any place where wholesale murders can take place. Let us be alert. We can combat terrors in our own way. We don’t have to rely on our soldiers to protect us because they are not around most of the time. We must defend ourselves by our own method, initiative and style. We must remember that lightnings strike when we we do not think of it.
If terrorism around have joined us as part of our lives, then let it be but we have to learn how to take care of our lives and survive from its danger and effects. We can adjust to our environment and emerge smiling. Caring for ourselves must be given emphasis everyday for safety specially our young ones who sometimes are careless and ignorant about survival. We can preserve life. Above all, let us ask our Almighty God for guidance and protection all the time. He is supreme and loving and no one else. BEN EMATA Bennex News Service.
