HUMANITY - STAND UP

Over the last couple of days I have read a lot of news and heard a lot of opinions about a various

issues. I am worried. It won't be wrong to say that I am very worried. I am not worried about one

part of the world or one religion. It worries me that I am hearing news about pregnant women

stoned to death (whatever the crime), 300 plus women kidnapped allegedly raped and held as

hostage, ministers saying people of Muslim religion are bad and should not be associated with,

honour killing, gang rape, child killing, men stripped etc.

I am worried that peoples' morality or you can call it humanity is dying. I am not talking about people

who throw the stones or who kidnapped. They surely need help but what about those who stood at

the side. I am sure there are more people standing at the side and if they wish might be able to stop

this. But there is no will or they are so scared to stop these horrendous acts. People fighting about

religion and saying wipe out people of other religion. Which religion says it? Assuming it does are

we so dead that we can't see that these religions are 100 years plus old and we can't see/feel the

pain of the people. If you don't like something sure don't get involved with it but to make innocent

people part of these atrocities is so sad.

I don't have to go far there are times when I am fearful of what will happen if I intervene in

something which I think is wrong. I might have to go to police station or explain why I am trying to

protect someone or something. My family will worry and what if something will happen to them. My

family and friends don’t agree with this but understand my concern. It churns my stomach.

If today we don’t stand for injustice happening to others then no one will stand for you if you

face injustice. Yes it is time consuming and an inconvenience but surely stopping injustice is more

important than your or my time and inconvenience. I understand that we are worried for ourselves

and our family and vice versa. Having said that I would say that let this generation is the one which is

worried so that next generation does not have to deal with this.

I don't want to live in fear or angry and I want change. My story might not always be great but I will

be part of the start. I pray that you and other people will also join and soon your children will live

in a just and fearless world tomorrow. Get up and join. You can start with just some small things.

Say cops no harassment. Domestic violence, we won't stand for it. Bribery, why are you still alive.

Be with me and my soul we can have a great future. Not today or tomorrow but surely for your

children. Let's be peaceful live and let live in a fearless and humane world. Stand up.
