Respect for Life

Few men hold the destiny of the majority of men. These few men decide the fates of others. These men have the powers to provide the en mass a progressive life or lead them to war. Generations have enlightened us that these men have not much respect for others. There is in fact not much “respect for life”. This “respect for life” is the only solution to attain peace and harmony amongst men. We do not live in isolation. The humane relationship can be established when each goes to the aid of others.

We have learned to tolerate the facts of war: that men are killed en masse — some twenty million in the Second World War — that whole cities and their inhabitants are eradicated by the atomic bomb, that men are turned into living torches by inflammable bombs. We have become anesthetized and immune to death and the pain of others. Otherwise how do you expect to react to a 1,00,000 people dead in the Haiti earthquake. Or perhaps the world, specifically the white man’s world isn’t much interested, since Haiti isn’t a white man’s land. I always felt that the average white man thought that non whites are sub race, that the non whites have neither the intellectual, mental, nor emotional abilities to compare or to share equally with white men in any function of their civilization. They endeavour and struggle to bring the non whites to their advantages which they think that their great civilization offer. They feel that they should retain this status: they - the superior and non whites - the inferior. The whites think that whenever they seek to live among non whites as their equals, the latter would either destroy them or gulp them down. The whites think that they should retain this status, the whites – the master and the non whites – the inferior, like children who needs to be helped or taught.


Take a glimpse at us Indians. The Brits have taught us how to speak, read, write and think in their language. They have planted their habits, thoughts and attitude in us. Then they look upon us the same way you would look upon your pet chimp who you have taught to (say) brush his teeth and you go about showing it off! We like the pet chimp, are proud too, that we communicate with each other in English.

This lack of white man’s respect for life for the non whites leads to the disturbance of peace and harmony in the globalize world along with a host of local issues and predicaments residing amongst the minds of the non whites.

Let’s respect life. Let’s respect other human beings. These sentences can only become bona-fide when we alter this present world to a utopian world.

So now you may question me whether I am a pessimist or an optimist. My answer would be that my petite and insignificant bit of knowledge is pessimist, but colossal hopes are optimist.
