Ever get up at night cuz something has been bothering you? No, I'm not talking of a stomach upset or other such bodily functions!
It so happened.. that.. off late.. I thought to myself.. have I changed myself? or.. are some of the people around me changing... I know.. it is a kinda stupid question to loose some really valuable sleep over.. but.. strangely.. I just couldn't sleep!
So I did what every self respecting man would.. Go online and watch porn..... nah.. just kidding..
I decided to write myself out.. maybe describe what I feel.. maybe then.. the turbulence inside will finally calm itself down..
But this is where things suddenly changed.. Here I was.. awake at 4 in the morning.. thinking about my little world.. and just surfing through the net, I get a email forward (one among the millions!) on Police brutality on protesting nuns (protesting about the recent vandalising done to churches) and hunger in the world.. Was pretty much a slap on my face..
Here I am.. feeling sad about myself... when the world out there.. seems to be hell bent in destroying each other..
We have people going nuts because, and I quote an awesome video from youtube, 'you believe in another imaginary God than we do'.. People vandalising churches, mosques and temples.. The atmosphere all charged up.. everybody up in arms.. after all.. how can we bear such an insult.... they come into our homes (yes.. the same very temples and churches that we dreaded and rolled up and played dear to avoid going.. is now the most important building in our life!).. tarnish the idols (most people after reading the news report now realise that the temple/churche or babe heaven as most of us knew it, also had an idol inside :P)
Now how can we NOT kill a few dozen innocent people from their side for such a dastardly act! Afterall, the new idol with the black polish on it surely looks like it changed its race.. Imagine the torture the temple/church preiest will go through.. trying to clean it up! Or still worse.. Imagine if he can't clean it.. Suddenly the God seems less holy now that his race is changed.. I bet they wouldn't even care that the idol has a nice waxy shine cuz of the rubbing..

Now.. I know I'll probably have to apologise to half the priests around and hide cuz of the fatwah that will be now issued on me, but, don't you think its about high time we stopped giving a crap about what people do to our 'holy scared religious places'? I mean, sure, it is not very curtious to do such a thing, but, the very second you let it get to you.. you become the sucker in this!
I wonder how things would be in an alternate universe.. where the majority are atheists.. Would there be violence everytime someone puts a little Jesus or whatever statue in an Atheist temple (or disc or metro or wherever they gather)? Imagine the pain one would undergo, but looking at such a thing.. called as.. "Gawd" or.. is it spelt 'God', oh who cares.. Lets just go and kill people..

Guess its us, the fortunate ones who will look around.. watch as we kill each other over the lamest of excuses.. and worry about things such as 'am I loosing my girl?'...
maybe.. being self indulgant is not so bad afterall.. maybe, that is more important to humanity.. than all the violence and psychos that lead our nations..
and by the time you finished reading and I've finished typing.. another person died because of hunger.

Guess.. we are the most (un)fortunate people/race/species there is..
