Dying people, killing soldiers, terrified residents and crying family members. War brings so much more than just death. The so called "Pandora's Box" does seem to open wide in the war-zone. Every city, state, country, continent has at some point seen the contents of this box, and for some it never seems to close.
Millions of "normal" people, people just like us, go to war, fight for a cause someone else believes in and thousands of them never come back. They die in the battle field, and what they get in return is a medal and a piece of cloth wrapped around their dead body, leaving grief and sorrow for their families and lots of time to dwell upon it.
At the end of all this, we are fighting for land, resources, religion but almost all the time for "Money" and "Power"-the key players, the key driving force for everything from war to peace. We all believe what we are fighting for is right. We believe strongly in our causes. And we believe that it is worth fighting for. We believe. But we don't pay for what we believe in, someone else does.
And yet when it comes to terrorism we don't have a choice. Somehow the phrase "we always have a choice" does not seem to work. We don't have a choice, but to defend ourselves. Fighting the war against terrorism is like fighting cancer. We almost destroy our body to get rid of the disease. That's what we do to our people when we go for war.
So the question remains, are we in the war zone?
Are we affected by people dying around us?
Are we affected by all those wars going on around us?
Are we really unaffected by all those killings?
Do we care?
Are we not in the war zone ?
Something to think about....ain't it ?
