Break The Silence Against Violence

Have you ever witnessed an incident of road rage, people engaged in a senseless fist fight or a brawl at a bar? Most of us would probably say yes. Hurling abuses at a waiter in a restaurant, getting into a brawl for the most trivial of reasons or beating up a wife for not serving dinner on time, only reflect the barbaric primitive side of human beings, which is a major obstacle to civilisation. The futility of violence is so evident from our history, but we continue to witness incidents of horrifying murders and riots. We hear about such incidents quite often, but not many of us are perturbed by these unless it happens to us. Our complacency comes on our way to break the silence against violence. It is important that we become sensitive to what is happening around us and to raise voice against what is wrong. Nothing is ever going to change if we continue to keep quiet. The next time you notice that something wrong is happening, to you or to others, make sure that you talk about it.
