The Lust for Power is not rooted in Strength, but, in Weakness
This isn't a tale or a fantasy, this is real. This is the 21st century, the Realist Contemporary Era, this is where History Repeats Itself.
For decades, the world has witnessed the ruthlessness of man over man; greed, lust, temptation and ego has drowned him into the pool of
madness and insanity.
The situation that the world
faces today reiterate the centuries-old era that is
defined by The Lust For Power. No longer is war a crime, no longer is diplomacy a solution. Fear echoes
through every nick and corner of the world and people are imprisoned for speaking their
minds out. Freedom of
residence has been
suppressed and the freedom
of the press is slowly dying. No one is spared for and children bear the biggest
brunt. Yet, no one is held
responsible for such
inhumane acts of terror and
the world continues to suffer.
What does one stand to gain by committing such horrifying acts of terror? Bombing, torture, abduction, kidnapping, killing, maiming, rape, discrimination - are they really rewarding in nature? Is
even one amongst them worthy of high praise?
How traumatizing it must be for those many innocents undergoing this phase of life at the moment, those to whom 'life' is defined in the midst of only one word,
'survival'. For no fault of theirs, many of these innocent civilians hang in the balance, helpless, unable to fend for themselves, yet, clinging on to dear life, hoping that
tomorrow will be a better day.
Power makes a man capable but the lust for it defies his
strength and defines his weakness. Humanity is on the brink and there is nothing more that can best explain the reason behind this brutal
humanitarian crisis than the greed for more of this might, this potentiality, that does no good but rather fails humanity.
Life is a journey, but it is only
temporary. So why not give
humanity an opportunity?
