Human Tragedy

News: 7^th Std kid shot dead by Army in Chennai when he entered their residential complex (To collect almonds)

Only a few days back I heard a few prominent Kashmirs’ discussing situation in Kashmir when one speaker touched the point of impunity with which security personnel operate in Kashmir and other troubled parts of India.

Killing innocent people for gallantry & monetary awards or just killing people because they are mere suspects and then they are not accounted for their actions.

Other crimes like abuse, rape, humiliation and demeaning behaviour are used as suppressive tools.

When these security personnel get used to such behaviour the chances of behaving them in similar way when they are moved to un-troubled parts are more.

This incident looks like part of same cycle.

PS:

I read this news article on of the Indian news channels website and comments posted by people about the incident were too shocking.

Majority of people there have no sympathy with the poor boy, they are blindly supporting army because they are protectors and fight enemy. Even some calling it a “trivial issue”

I don’t know what has blinded them and why can’t they see any human tragedy here. And may be same reason doesn’t let them feel the agony Kashmir’s are going through.

Think about it

BIG QUESTION:

Are we really giving our best to the work we do and do we actually love what we do as a profession or are we just doing it for a living, a source of income?

We see some people excel and shine in their professions and others don’t.

So many of us perform our professional duties in a monotonous way, just following a script , while few others take it as a passion and are creative and innovative in what they do.

So is it really only exceptional and great minds who can perform great jobs or has each one of us a potential to do something great.

Well I think we all do have some potential to do something great but only when we are fully dedicated, committed and in love with what we do.

There are many examples of people who were really ordinary but when they realised their potential saw what they wanted and got an opportunity there was no stopping.

I think the most profound achievement in one’s life is to indentify that potential and then work towards that.
