For those not aware of world news, this Tragic image is of a 3 year old Syrian boy who drowned along with his family while crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
To give a certain background of the story, this boy is Aylan Kurdi and just like the 40,00,000 Syrians and 30,00,000 Iraqis was affected by the ISIS, he lost his home and along with his brother Galip, mother Rehan and father Abdullah was trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece when the boat carrying the refugees tilted killing most of the people on board.
Now the reason this accident occurred was simple, the boat which could take 800 passengers was loaded with 2500 passengers, each having paid 3000-4000 Euros when on a normal day they would charge not more than 600 Euros per person. Honestly I had goosebumps when I saw this Image and couldn't stop thinking the horrors they might have faced and then I thought, Whose fault is it?
ISIS must have bombed the Kid's house, Turkey denied him refugee visa, Greece is going through a financial crisis but tried its level best to help, the boy's family had plans to go to Germany which has already taken 1.6 million refugees, the Middle East blames the U.S, U.S says Assad's downfall led to the creation of ISIS. Middle East blames the West, West says we are doing enough, what have you done?, and the Little boy had no clue what happened.
The problem lies in an Ideology, Mahatma Gandhi had stated An eye for an eye would leave the whole world blind, ISIS has been a creation of Extremism which cannot be blamed on the United States, that's just like suing Royal Enfield because you got caught by the cops for Drunken Driving. The Middle East OPEC nations and the Muslim Brotherhood showed how hypocrite they are by showing zero or minimal support to the refugees. So you are telling me Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran which are easily accessible from Syria and Iraq can't take refugees but Germany, Austria, Netherlands, U.K and Australia are being criticized just because they are not able to take enough immigrants after collectively allowing 2.5 Million immigrants collectively. The whole scenario might just be a political ideology combined with Racism but it all boils down to few simple things in Life.
The World today is moving forward, we can make a 3-D printed heart today but we also made the Dirty Bombs of Bulgaria and Chernobyl, and it all boils down to the fact that If one's mind had peace, the whole world would appear peaceful..
"Supreme Lord, let there be peace in the sky and in the atmosphere. Let there be peace in the plant world and in the forests. Let the cosmic powers be peaceful. Let the Man the true essence and source of life be peaceful.Let there be undiluted and fulfilling peace everywhere.
– Prayer from the Atharva Veda,
