*** SO NOW PEOPLE WHO BURST CRACKERS FOR RELIGION ARE WORSE THAN THOSE WHO BOMB PEOPLE AND SLAUGHTER ANIMALS ??? *** :D Recently a friend on Facebook shared - Happy Dipawali! May everyone lighting crackers burn their eyes. My reply - Every activity undertaken by human beings does some harm and some good. Every activity, even the elementary act of breathing. Life is about trade offs. We weigh the consequences, and we accordingly decide. Festivals are life blood of healthy society and rejuvenate the religion. Fine our children burst crackers. Conceded that that inconveniences many old and sick. But such robust celebrations of festivals also invite our childrens attention to their culture, their heritage, their rituals, their religion, and their history. We have already witnessed what a lack of all the above results in Europe, where every new day a new state fights for independence. Kosovo, Catalonia, Scotland, Svetsopol, Kiev, Chechen are just few many of the many illustrations of the instances what lack of social unity and collective identity results in. So they burst crackers. Our children burst crackers. And I am very sure that only because they do so, they do not gun down other children in their classrooms, they do not burst bombs among people in markets, on trains, in hospitals. They dont slaughter animals for the fun of it or behead humans in the name of an imaginary god. And yes of course youll loose your eyes or any other limb thereof if you burst crackers like a fool, so while youre at it, please exercise caution for you and for others. With caution settled in your mind, next year double the number of crackers you burst. :)
