I believe that if you've got a point to make, make it. In the process of making that point, however trivial it maybe, do it at no cost or burden to others. Especially those who have no part at all in your devious, heinous acts. The brutal murders of innocent tourists and unarmed women do not aid your cause in anyway. Terrorists seems to be the terminology most commonly used in labeling the individuals responsible for these acts. Cowardice seems to be a more appropriate label if you ask me. I have learnt that events take on a very different light when they strike close to home. Peace should never, ever be taken for granted. My condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the Mumbai attacks. Goodnight world.
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
- Oscar Romero
