Why did you not respond to the issue which has created quite a lot of uproar in the public? Plunder and killings mark societal happenings . So many people are killed or looted everyday across the sub sections of different continents over the whole world. In such situations of mass destruction and devastation it is the prime responsibility of dutiful citizens of the higher order to respond vehemently and powerfully.Silence in those circumstances is quite awful and irresponsible. Evading from the rightful duty is distressing.

I agree sukumar... I have always beleived that if you stand by watching a wrong, you are at just as much fault as the person committing the wrong. I do not like to get involved in other people's business, but if I see something bad happening... I try my best to right that wrong!

Well, I think that there are some issues that happen in society that I am comfortable to talk about. However, there are other issues that I don't really feel like I know enough about them to talk about those issues. In those situations, I won't talk about them because I don't want to be swayed in my own opinion before I know enough about those issues to really be able to talk about them. However, I don't think that I ever evade the issue.

I don't want to discuss too much on the social issue. There are too many unfortunate things happening around the world. If I see too much on this or discuss too much on the negative view, I think I would be very tired. I would learn from the societal issue reflected by the Press, but don't judge too much.

Because one cannot 'right the wrongs' without ordering- or making-more violence, which begets more violence, which begets more violence, which begets ... a very destructive cycle.
The only way to end the evil is to stop feeding it. The way to do that is to start feeding the abundance-cycle more---by giving your time to The Kingdom of Giving rather than the kingdom of taking what's not given.
