Je Suis Charlie

The whole world was shocked through the mass murder regarding a satirical article pertaining to a terrorist group. To be not allowed, to always have our words, our thoughts entrapped within us for we condemned those who brought terror, those who brought out and extinguished the peace we ever so needed for we cannot condemn the people since it's disrespectful, blasphemous to do so.

No, as I sat here on my bed preparing to leave as all the blood in my veins rushed through my head, my thoughts are with those who lost due to this "stupidity" and "cowardliness" of these so called terrorist.

To kill in the name of who? Why would somebody would like to teach every man, every young boy that it is right to kill, to punish those who mock their beliefs, their ever so barbaric beliefs that all they could do to honor once deity or god or leader is to have our hands bloodied. Will their God do the same for them? Will they find peace in this everlasting war in their mind that their God should rule the world?

Imagine if there is no religion. Imagine if everything that is in the scriptures is all just some random fictional book that we are made to believe in in order for us to find salvation. Will it end? No. Will it be stopped? No.

No matter which religion we grew up, if we are brought up with this mindset that even though it's unreal, we honor the non-existent person. I'm being an atheist here, but then what I speak of, when you look at some angles, what I say might probably true. But then going back to the topic, if what we see when we grew up are all ok-to-kill-in-the-name-of-some-random-god, then I don't see any logic in it. We are just going back to the time wherein we discover fire. The use of fire, the time of the hunt. The time where we think that our morals, the way we think is in level with our shit everyday.

I'm not saying that Islam is bad nor do I say that Christianity is good. We are living in a day where cellular phones have been converted to smartphones and we all have a chance to have a one-way ticket to Mars. We are more logical today than what we were yesterday. We should use our minds, open our hearts to new things for we could move in and be happy.

I do believe that the practices should be passed in to the next generation to preserve the teachings, but as humans, being at the top of the animal kingdom, we have morals that even these books couldn't teach us.

We should not let our religion box our mind and our souls. We are humans. We all wished for peace and unity under one God as this God wishes the same for us. We control our fate. What we do to others will likely be done to us. How we perceived others is the same with them.

We all die in the end but it's better to die without having to be the last bit of our memory be a bullet in our head. We can change our course, the way we see others if we try to be a bit more understanding and drop our guns down.

For the families and love ones of those who were killed in this tragedy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you...
