Now-a-days media reports are full of stories of hate and violance. Today I read that two motocycle-borne persons threw acid on a 22-year old woman. She received serious face, chest and arm burns. Two by-standers were also injured. Why so much hate? Where love has gone? We are all children of God and He wants us to love each other. Why we indulge in such acts which are crimes in the eyes of God?
Another story tells that a 'tantrik' father sacrificed his eight year old son at the alter of black magic. He buthchered his son before a goddess. What sort of a goddess she is who is pleased by a father for killing his son? It is natural to hear that a father sacrificed his life for the sake of his son. But it hurts to hear that a father killed his son to please a goddess. Why people indulge in such unnatural acts? It is nothing but love has gone out of peoples' lives.

I read following quote from The Dalai Lama on the front page of TOI:
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion”. It gave me inner pleasure, but it was short-lived. I read a news inside about how a man (Himanshu Sharma) was driven to suicide by ICICI bank over loan for a motorbike in November last year, the taunts of his neighbours for logging 20 kg of vegetables as his motorbike has been taken away by bank’s musclemen, and the slackness on the part of Delhi police to take any action.
On Thursday, July 13, 2006, his wife and mother filed an appeal before the high court. After hearing the plight of the two widows, the judge passed strict directions to the police to initiate action promptly. Is this way Delhi police should function? Have they lost the compassion a human being has for other human beings?
Judge also deplored that bank’s role for not accepting the plea of Sharma’s wife who requested them to return the bike after taking the amount in cash, for the post-dated cheque which got dishonoured on account of less funds in the bank. He reprimanded the bank’s approach of repossessing Sharma’s bike by sending musclemen. Have the people working in the bank lost the compassion a human being has for other human beings?
Who is responsible for Sharma’s suicide - the bank, the neighbours, the police? My answer is all of them. How can they be happy when they did not have any compassion for a fellow human being?
As per a study carried out by NHRC, of the 20,000 beds in the country's mental hospitals, 48% are occupied by 'long stay' patients, ot paients who havesayed on for more than two years after being deemed fit to be discharged. Ironically, many did not require hospitalisation in the first place.
Most of these patients have been dumped by their relatives who do not want them back.In a sea of vacant stares, their eyes stand out. They don't have the blank look of the other inmates. Instead, there is sdaness and pain. But their relatives have lost all love and compassion for them. Where the love has gone?
Love is there. It came out when people saw Prince struggling for his life in a deep narrow well. People all over the country prayed for him. God is great. He saved Price's life and granted the prayers of the people.
But why people need such incidents for the hidden love to come out? Why the love does not flow naturally in their hearts?
Love has not gone anywhere. It is inside us, in our heart, in our mind. But we have covered it by hate. Remove the hate and you will see it, feel it and then life will become sweet and the world a nice place to live.
