Homicide

I had a surf around me ...
I found Anger .. Rage .. Fury .. Wrath ..

I have contemplated in the Human Being .. and I am still .. The equation did not seem right. In most Religions along with most of the Ideologies, beings have a relative relation to their Creator. In some, they are in His image; in another, their souls comes from his; and from others, they were reflected from His omnipotentency. So, all has to show feelings of Happiness, Satisfaction, Fortunate, and Love .. a great portion of Love!!

Yet, there are only few reflectors of such sublime feelings.

Wondering why, I looked again .. trying to perforate into the people next to me .. trying to probe through their minds to read them. The first catchy sight was about a little boy, most probably he is in grade 6. He was seated next to me in the internet café. At first, he put the headphones (the necessary company of loud/noisy/heavy music), then he popped the msn chart and ventured in . His displayed sentence (nickanme) was poorly written, and most of the attendents at his list were so, as well. No one whispered him, so, he reluctantly switched on a pc game and started playing. The game stopped me much. The violence in it was unbearable: Hitting, Shooting, Killing, Fighting, ....etc. Blood oozed from all the screen's corners. It splashed on the walls in side the game. It even hit me in the face. And with every blow he did, with every successful KILLING, he used to give me a peripheral smirky smile that shows both his self-satisfaction and self-pride. He scored a body. He sabotaged a human!!

A minute later, killing became Regular and Common. He closed the game's window to open the msn's. A friend nudged him. They started cursing each others in a friendly way (calling names of animals). Then, the cursing was elevated: *icks, mothers, fathers, *ucking were all IN!! The boy noticed that I am looking at him. He smiled his yellow naïve smile, and looked away with coyness.


The question is highly raised with stiff highlights: From where does a kid possess such violent anf aggressive tendencies?!




And the examples never stop ... from astonishing me!


So, let us stretch out a hand towards Peace .. and Compassion, but we have to do it Together .. Hand in Hand.
