Saddened

this is what actually triggered me to start writing a blog.

It all started with a gloomy day. The weather was weird, with times of rain and shine..

And while watching the news of how many Britain soldiers were killed by the tallibans, and how Britain soldiers tortured some innocent peoples, suddenly a friend of mine voiced out and say with a tone of anger and furious,"nanti kita seksa mereka,".. i was utterly shocked by this sudden statement of his, REALLY.

How can a normal youth these days talks about torturing or even taking someone's life so easily, like it was all just a play. Imagine what steps will be taken if this statement is what is in the mind of a country ruler. Let me draw it out to you, we will have never ending wars, and much more torturing and sufferings. As easy as that. Even a nine year old can tell you this.

'Its their fault, they intruded people's land, their should suffer the consequences' - is this necessary? 'they started it first' - is it even rational? Every life is precious, special, and sacred, cant you see? Even when you say "its just an expression", it ISN'T. It isn't just an expression, its a reflection on the world today, on how things have became. 'An eye for an eye', will this solves everything? time has changed, humanity has grown so much that we have the capacity and capability to overcome hatred and prevent vengeance. We are not kids anymore.

The world is advancing, humanity is advancing. Material and spiritual advancement have to occur hand in hand so that everything is kept in balanced. Vengeance won't solve anything. Learn from the past, brother. It will only brings to those vengeful dwellers a chains of continous, endless battles and suffering.

Ponder this,

'When a thought of war comes, oppose it with a stronger thought of peace; a thought of hatred must be destroyed with a more powerful thought of love.' -Abdu'l Baha

The world WILL be a better place i believe.
