Minutes to Midnight

Forgive me for sounding apocalyptical & doomsday-ish... but signs are afoot that our world will soon come to an end. It won't be some deadly disease that wipes out half the human race or nature's wrath that takes out the other half. Instead, man will kill man. It takes no prophetic prowess to predict this. It is bound to happen. It is already happening.

Why have we all dehumanized ourselves to the extent that we can't stand each other anymore? Satanic acts are the order of the day - murders, honor killings, rapes, bombs.... gruesome episodes greet you with alarming frequency... making you wonder if there's any good left in this world anymore. Why are we so easily querulous? Why are we so hell-bent on destroying each other?

This world desperately needs extensive therapy in anger management. We NEED to calm ourselves down. We need to stop this mayhem & senseless destruction that is leading our world to the brink of complete annihilation. We need to become humans again. We need to start loving again. We need to live again. We need to stop the clock ticking towards a midnight obliteration.

To all the indignant, disturbed souls out there, who think you've been wronged & who think war is the only answer, please know this -

Anything war can do... Peace can do better.
