Its a touchy subject and its tough to manage subject. Its been giving me sleepless nights at times. How can somebody just stand up and blow himself up, how can somebody plant explosives and blow people up. What does it take for a human to become so inhuman?
Now people have been cruel and have killed people in all kinds of reasons All these reasons have been put up as beliefs, whether its religion, communism, land or language.
So once a person harms other person due to any belief and isn't ready tobe flexible that's terrorism. Today we see Islamic terrorism in front of us in more pronounced form. Though haven't we seen this always in history.
So what is terrorism, its when one person or community refuses to give other margin for discussion, and theory of live and let live is forgotten. Now this seems to enshrined in some beliefs that they can't live with others, though followers of that belief should understand this quickly and make adjustment.
Lets look from other prespective, religion changes every 1000 years and new religion comes in every 1000 to 2000 years, country maps change every 100 years, just look at maps in 1700, 1800, 1900 or 2000 AD, language changes even faster. So why people get lost and don't understand this basic.
Only thing that stays are basic human principles of peace and live and let live...
Buddhism despite absolutley peaceful religion still grew all over the world. Gandhi changed world without violence. Same is good with Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandella. Hence its not that violence will give people what they are looking for. They are going to lose finally, since they aren't working on changing people, they are trying to force people.
Finally, violence doesn't give nobody anything in long run, hence killing people doesn't have any long term impact except short term pain for victim and long term pain for perperator. So focus on working on fundamentals of peace and live and let live, and world will be with you.
I have so much more to write on this, though its so draining, so may be some other day.
