Incidents followed by Investigations

As another Airline goes down today, and this time, unfortunately, the reason was clear. 

It has been speculated to be shot by a BUK missile by a Ukrainian rebel who was  fighting against its' government. 

Intentions were set someplace, but, unfortunately, someone else became the victim of this incident.

The plane crashed, killing 295 people on board. The impact was so high that bodies were seen nine miles around this incident. 

Ghastly indeed!

The world is watching and in shock!

No one wants to take the responsibility.

Ukraine and Russia are blaming each other for this ghoulish incident while Malaysia government wants to investigate before  pointing fingers at anyone!

While the bureaucrats play the accusation game. From a distance, a common man weeps!

He weeps for the loss of his family, friend, relative,  neighbor, or just a passer-by who was just going about minding his own business. 

I wonder once the investigation is done, will it bring the lives of those 295 back? Will life be back to normal? Will the void of a person gone be filled?

My 2 cents

Although, it was a misfortune for the airline to be there around that time of their bout, and one could call it kismet or just a mere incident. The investigation will not be able to balm any of the sorrows that a family has experienced by their loss in this plane crash.

Needless to say, when one human victimizes another, he bears more pain than the latter. We inflict wounds on someone, we bear the misery somewhere within. That same can be imposed when we do an act of kindness.

It's ultimately WE who are suffering. No "you", "I", "us", or "they".

However, Peace, Harmony, Truce, Amity are words just used during our childhood days. We have got to bring this vocabulary back in our adult lives in order to put our sorrows and our happiness in perspective.

Mantra for today: We are inventors of happiness and sorrows. Choice is ours to make!

Mind over Heart

Contemplation between the H and the M. 

Where H is me, and M is the muse that meditates over various issues.

M: What is happening to the world? How can an airplane go missing in this wide world, with so many radars everywhere? We have satellites at every nook and corner. Why are people tormenting people? 

H: Yup, its a sad state.

(smirks)  I pity the politicians for once. 

M: Politicians? How are they coming in the picture?

H: Well they have to tackle the issue since this plane goes missing and people are questioning them for once.

M: Well, I kinda agree but also disagree with you on this.

H: I am pleased that you agree with me but Errr what part is that makes you contemplate over this, my dear M?

M: It is the We the people and not the politicians who are actually responsible for all that is happening around.

H: Well, Hello!! 

 It is the leaders who poison innocent minds. That is how terrorism exists in the first place.

M: Sheeshhh...please let's not even go there, H! You are making way too much out of this. 

H: Who me? I don't think so! Ask those people who wanna know what happened to their loved ones. Infact, we all want to know what happened to those innocent passengers.

 M pretends to get busy so that H gets the signal and shuts herself out!

My heart and mind have been playing the bone of contention ever since Malaysian Airlines went missing and even though all the above is yet unsettled there are various points of disagreement. I pray the outcome is a pleasant one and the Heart and the Mind can be rest assured that mankind has some hope!

Mantra for today: The Mind is intelligent to absorb the changes, while the heart still laments over it.
