PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL

When we hear the word Terrorism, our minds are often drawn to the attack on the World Trade Centre in the United States of America, the hijacking of the Indian Airlines, attacks on Parliament etc,

Till now most of the terrorist attacks on India, have been thought to be supported by Pakistan. Why does this happen?

Terrorism takes place for a number of reasons. It could either be in the name of religion or when one country is jealous of the other nation’s prosperity. A number of people use terrorism as a means to meet their demands too. However, terrorism causes a lot of destruction to life and property. Can anybody forget the people who died in Ashardham temple or during the attack of the Twin Towers?

Surely people are not born terrorists. They become terrorists because, at a small age, when they should have been playing with toys, they had guns in their hands.

One day, the full world will be wiped out because of terrorism. We should stop terrorism in the name of religions. Whether one is a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or a Sikh, he should remember that “God is one and the same for everyone”.

There is just one message that can be given to people who support terrorism: “LIVES AND LET OTHERS LIVE”. Remember terrorism leads to destruction and one day you and I may be victims of the same.
