I cannot understand the level motivation that could sustain them in an effort to kill so many people and blow themselves up too - the intense hatred for the system that makes them blind to the fact thet the innocent people who are their victims have done nothing to deseve this.<BR/>Some movies have attempted to probe abit into the psychology of such people and they seem to say that the personal tragedies that these children have gone through and the subsequent anger to seek revenge has been exploited by some violent groups with vested interests who keep their anger alive in order to achieve their own ends.Most of these children come from a background that does not let them see good from evil clearly.<BR/>One thing we must do when a particular group has been through a period of violence is to reach out to these victims and make them feel part of the society even when their loved one has been unjustly taken away. NGOs must do psychological counselling and the government must rehabilitate them with more sustained effort - not just give them food packets and announce 1 lakh compensation. But mostly these tragedies are focused upon for 3 days in the media and announcements made and then they re forgotten and the next news item become important!Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155516974682886402006-08-14T06:26:00.000+05:302006-08-14T06:26:00.000+05:30lalitha:hope is all we have.nothing to be done abt...lalitha:hope is all we have.nothing to be done abt itHip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155505439513780472006-08-14T03:13:00.000+05:302006-08-14T03:13:00.000+05:30passerby55:the terrorist plot to blow up planes he...passerby55:the terrorist plot to blow up planes heading to USA has indeed disheartened me.i'm not able to adequately express my anguish.I only made a feeble attempt.<BR/>Ketki:i'm glad to note that at your age you can relate to the topic.<BR/>velu:i completely forgot that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.it can only be channelized.it is unfortunate that it's being channelized in the wrong direction.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155497491636994552006-08-14T01:01:00.000+05:302006-08-14T01:01:00.000+05:30Preeta.

Aren’t these two relative terms?~<BR/><BR/>~It was a painful experience to watch youth energy being thus wasted and destroyed.~<BR/><BR/>Those two lines when merged together, suprisingly come up with an answer that's sure to shock most of us. <BR/><BR/>Energy is not being wasted or destroyed in their case, since that which is evil to most of us, but which is 'relative', is good to them. True, but a sorry state of affairs! :(<BR/><BR/>Great post, btw!!:)Movie Mazaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795149371701803414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155444404134947102006-08-13T10:16:00.000+05:302006-08-13T10:16:00.000+05:30wonderful post!!!!!!!!!:)wonderful post!!!!!!!!!<BR/>:)ketkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322260594992223852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155441927426676072006-08-13T09:35:00.000+05:302006-08-13T09:35:00.000+05:30free to hope ...great post!!free to hope ...<BR/><BR/>great post!!passerby55https://www.blogger.com/profile/17788718555377390569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-1155441877198862192006-08-13T09:34:00.000+05:302006-08-13T09:34:00.000+05:30Preeta! what inspired this? ...Preeta i have no wo...Preeta! <BR/><BR/>what inspired this? ...<BR/><BR/>Preeta i have no words today.<BR/>You made my day ... thanks for this wonderful post to begin my sunday!!!passerby55https://www.blogger.com/profile/17788718555377390569noreply@blogger.com
