Last week ended on a sad note, with the gun-men attacks and suicide bombing in Paris. The world was put in terror once more and the reality that tragedy will show up at anytime of our life was re-echoed to all of us once again. Between praying for Paris, one gets to think of all that life is.
Life can be a lot of things but one thing that sure looks overlapping is the fact that life is a sum of good and bad. One moment of joy coupled with a thousand moments of pain. it is like that all through life, until we breath our last and yet even on such a day, it is a tragedy for the people we leave behind.
But the question, why tragedy makes most of life, can only be explained in the nature and content of humanity, it is innate and we carry it with us. A good man once told me," You cannot tell the nature of man's heart just by the construction of one's face" he also said," Everyone is evil, the difference is our ability to contain that evil with in us"
Man by nature, is evil and callous and that has been a cause for a lot of the damage we have in the world. A man raping his own daughter is as bad as a man shooting innocent people at a theater and as evil as one who chooses to kill another through black magic. It is all evil and it springs forth from the darkness man has within.
You are as capable of killing and destroying as is an eight year old. And that is the reality of the situation man finds himself in.
The cause doesn't spring from, a refugee crisis, or poverty(otherwise, the Arab countries would be at peace), it is not even about the inability to make peace. It is the nature of a man's heart.
Deep within, man has decided that the only thing that makes sense, is the blood spilled.It is in their life line that to see a dead person is more joy than anything. It is the hate they carry, the anger they bottle, the pain they've lived, the envy they have, the thrill in killing. It is in the joy they get in causing pain. And that is why tragedy is alive today and each day of our lives.
I am not in the mood to give a solution to man's making. I would rather settle my heart in knowing, man cannot be all good, man has a level of failing that makes him from time to time a slave to evil. And whether it is me who is enslaved or another, man by nature is evil...the difference is in containing it.
