Stop Terrorism; Welcome Peace

What is ‘terrorism’? The answer lies hidden in the very root words, that is, “terror” and “ism”. The first word refers to a kind of fear that is caused by some external factor. The second word means an idea or a notion. Therefore, the term ‘terrorism’ means nothing other than the idea of instilling fear in all and sundry.

Now let us question ourselves: “Why should one instill fear to all and sundry?” Yes, it is indeed a very natural question peeping from the back of our mental veils. So, it is a derivation of violence. Again, where does violence come from? It comes from anger, utmost wrath. If we now ask the reason of such anger, we will gradually delve deep to find out the answer, that is, jealousy. Such jealousy is, again, the byproduct of false vanity. Therefore, it has become evident that the entire mental process is a notion of falsehood.

That is to say, terrorism is not false, but the motives and objectives are indeed vainly false. Why? That is so because we are all human beings. We are not meant to be like this. Still, we indulge in terrorism. Well, we must note that just like charity, such a heinous crime begins at home as well.

Yes, domestic violence stays latent in human minds. For example, if I find some of my family members being tortured by someone other in the same family, this incident will definitely bring a tremendously negative impact on my mind. I may feel sympathetic to the tortured and may burst out one day because of that personal grudge and anger. Again, I may float straight obedient to the stream, that is, I may take it for granted that torturing is the essence of life. Yes, I am false. You know that. But who will convince me to change my false concept?

Thus, such latent feelings are stored in our hearts that are like a sponge. When we wring our heart in the future, it will drip that bitter feelings. As a result, we commit violent actions resulting in terrorism.

Anyway, we are meant to be like this. Therefore, we should nip our problems in the bud. This may take a lot of time. Still, let’s star it right now without any delay. The quicker and kinder we act, the faster and better this earth will become. None but we ourselves can do it. We need to stop terrorism and welcome peace.
