BOMBERS -What do these barbarians want ?

How i wish i could meet one of these guys in person and get
to know what they really want ??? wondering is it going to be possible for me
to have a dialogue with them / him / her ..
This keeps me wondering if i would apply my Buddhist's philosophy then ..
no way .... i don't have even the slightest of respect for these ANIMALS !!!!

Blasting a city ,killing innocent lives gives them what in return ?
I really dont understand the sadist intention behind any of these acts ...
We are all getting used to news everyday on bomb blasts and terror
attacks...are we all becoming insensitive or getting habitual about all that's
happening around us...??

I still remember the days in Coimbatore when i first experienced news on bomb blasts & terror attacks in the city .I was too young & protected to even witness anything
We only heard news about which shop was blown up and how many were killed
Every evening , I eagerly awaited my brother's return home to narrate me the story on whatever he saw through the day .I had my school holidays and i was not allowed to go out then ...but then little did i know how terrible it is for the people
who experience it ..loosing their loved ones in attacks like these ..
i was no more young and innocent to understand what cruelty and terrorism
is by 2001.....when i saw papers carrying photos of Daniel Pearl's execution ..
A horrific act by the people who in the name of religion brought shame to their own religion and put their fellow members of faith too in shame ...as every muslim has been looked at with an inquisitive eye as and when the numbers increase on the terrorist attacks ....

sometimes even i wonder if there is something wrong in the teachings or which version of the Quran talks about jihad war ...or who has misinterpreted the understanding ....a lot of questions on my mind ...when i read through the names of the terrorists ..as most of them are doing all this in the name of Islam...
sometimes i do nag my muslim friends to get me these answers ...
but i am sure i wont know how their heart aches when people generalise their
community and make it synonymous with terrorism ...am i contributing to it too ?
well..that is not my intention but i hope i do make my friends understand that

Intention is to really understand what is driving them to do all this ?
Why do they bring in their religion when they do something like this ?
What do they achieve after a bomb blast ?

Is it the teaching ? money ? blind faith ? power? then what ?...who knows the answer for this question ? I wonder... and i wish i get the answer soon ..............

Happiness

Happiness seems to be the word these days that everyone is fond of ..people are craving endlessly to be happy and trying to find umpteen number of ways to achieve it
well ..is it so complicated to be happy ?
i questioned myself so many times..
sometimes i wonder why it is so difficult for us to be happy ..just happy !!
Here i found many answers to this question ...
Actually its not that difficult .....seriously!!
Life is too short to be spent on worries and fears , living in jealousy
envying thy neighbor ,chasing material wealth and living in anxiety

There are many little things that we can feel happy about, just that
we turn a blind eye to all those things we can be grateful for ..
It's all about counting your blessings, being optimistic
and having the courage to face the unpleasant circumstances
From a bird chirp to a soothing music , everything can contribute to
our happiness ....but then again all this boils down to where we
depend upon for our happiness and where we look to derive it from
That's the biggest mistake we do ...we are constantly on the look out
of our happiness in something , some where or someone ...
But actually its in everything , everywhere and inside us ...
We fail to recognise that we only can make ourselves happy and
that only we know what can truly make us happy ..is it not??


It's a personal experience ..that i keep (even today ) relying on
someone/somewhere/ something outside me to keep me happy and look for the
things that gives me those little moments of jumping up with joy ..

Then what happens ....Alas ...!! I realise all those little moments
are only little ..because u know u cant keep jumping all the time :-)

Happiness is not necessarily the act of looking great ,
declaring joy or appearing to be so for the rest of the world
...but its more the feeling from inside ,that only you know !!

I get reminded of this song all the time when i think
about happiness "Don't worry ,Be happy "

And that is what i wanna say to everyone out there ...
DON'T WORRY ,BE HAPPY !!!

Happiness Always !!!!
