I wonder and wonder. We need to wake up.

The Indians are terribly shook by the series of blasts that took place in recent days. The news of blasting of a bomb or detecting a live bomb has become too common these days. The government is constantly failing in all its efforts to fail the terrorist activities taking place in the country. Te result is not unknown. Hundreds of innocent lives are lost. Who will take care of their families ? What will be the future of the children of those who were killed ? Can sending a cheque of Rs. 50,000 ever compansate their lives ?
Some politicians are saying that the encounter at "L-18", Delhi was fake. Truely disgusting. How can they suspect the death of the brave police inspector M.C. Sharma. Brave Sharma left his son who suffering from dengue in the hospital to perform his duty. But they brought home the Hero dead. What will happen to his family? Who will take their care ? The government showers crores of rupees on the cricketers. Then why such an injustice to Brave Sharma's family by giving them a mere amount of 5 Lacs? Will this ever suffice the need of his 3 young children?
Don't we need to bring change in our system ? How long will we blame the government for its ineffectiveness? Aren't we those who have formed the government ? Why do we go to vote during the elections ? Why do we not arise our voice against the corrupted and 'termite' like "leaders" that are eating away our country ? The politicians are just interested in filling up their pockets.
I really feel sad while writing this. Because I am just writing here, and not doing anything for the nation. The constitution does not allow me to vote because I am considered in the categories of "minors" in terms of age.
I wonder. And wonder.

But you are doing something for the nation. Just by writing this thought-provoking post you've brought attention to this justice and made you opinion on this matter visible.
Whether big or small, everything we do can have a big or small affect on the big picture. There are so many ways we can help people - wther it's by smiling at someone in the street, helping a stranger with something, complimenting someone, or just by talking to people. There are so many problems in the world, and some are lucky enough to have the opportunity to make a massive and positive change with their actions or words. Unfortunately some decide to abuse that right, such as many corrupt politicians or members of authority. But it's our moral responsibility to speak out against them, expose their wrong doings, and make the public aware of them while ensuring that the situation does not repeat.
I'm still waiting for an opportunity where I could make a massive change, but I've realised that maybe that's the problem. I was wondering for so long when I'd be able to play the part of a great superhero, I forgot that I'm missing out on so many chances. I could've worked in a charity shop, done community service, and more.
There are people out there twisted enough to believe that they have the right to carry out the mass murder of innocents for a certain cause, and others who so deluded that they give in to material greeds like money over the choice to fight injustice.
But while we're on this earth, we have to fight these in our own little way while making sure we don't worsen the problem more, we have to protect the vulnerable, and identify and stop corruption in socety - and whilst doing this inspire others to do the same.
Good luck :)
(Wow, long post.)
