Religion is a strong thing , a very very strong thing . I am a little disappointed at myself cos reckless killing does not have anything to do with caste or creed . But i have had tears in my eyes seeing and reading the news about the Wisconsin shooting and the obvious reason is the Sikh link . I was exposed to so many different religions but the one the I will always belong to and the one that will make my core and my identity is Sikhism. The tie has never been stronger .
I feel sad , dejected that deranged people take innocent lives . The world in all its weirdness is becoming such a chaotic place to live in . I thank God everyday that I am alive and am forced to wonder how long before I land in one of the places that has one of these deranged ,disturbed individuals trying to vent out their frustrations by killing others .
I have said this all too often ''Life is too short '' and literally so . I feel so helpless sometimes when around me all the insignificant things are given precedence .. helpless cos i am not able to convince others that really .. life is not about holding grudges , playing games , hating others ,lying conniving and cheating .. that it will come to a standstill before you know it so try living it with a little bit of dignity , pride , peace and love . I don't know if I have been able to do that myself but I am hoping I can .I guess I haven't because I still let life and people get to me , stress me out . I hate it when I am not myself able to understand that it will be over before I know it and that the only one thing we need to strive towards is make each day beautiful for ourselves and for everyone around us .
Death comes very cheap these days , the least we can do is value life while we still have it .
