MORE QUESTIONS

Watching the movie "First They Killed My Father" was disturbing. It brought tears to my eyes. We have seen war depicted as seen by adults. Here it is in the perspective of a child caught in the middle of man's irrational moves. I just could not comprehend man no more. A devotee cried her heart out to Agathiyar when he came mentioning the atrocities done to children and women in the war that was going on elsewhere now. Man seemed to have never learned. He keeps repeating the same horrors. It just doesn't make sense going to war. Animals only hunt when hungry. If we could slaughter an animal, we could slaughter a human too. It makes us question the value of life. Do not we value life anymore? Where has conscience gone too? Where is compassion for another being? What has happened to all the noble thoughts and virtues? Why isn't man living by it? Why isn't he upholding these values? What has come upon this world? Man has taken a step backward. He hurts others just to prove a thing right. Just to uphold his belief. He takes arms in defending his right. 

The recent death of a member of a friend's family where the family was involved in a head on collision with another car too poses so many questions. They had worshipped the Siddhas. Where were the Siddhas then? I don't have the answers. The only thing I have come to realize now is to live this moment fully for you won't know what comes next.
