Bali

I heard the news on saturday night...

Bali was in the news again, 3 years later. This time round, there was more than 1 bomb that detonated. All were detonated in crowded places. The people who did this wanted to ensure maximum damage was done you see.

From the sounds of it, it sounded that the bomb blasts this time round was less serious than the one 3 years ago. There seemed to be fewer dead and injured.

Nonetheless, it's still a sad waste of human lives. Just because some people decide that the message they're trying to propogate, is worth more than human lives.

How do people become such heartless beasts? How can the hearts of people contain so much evil? I just don't understand.

3 years ago, I was in Bali when the very deadly bomb blasts took place. Thank God my friends and I were safe in the hotel when the bomb shook the island. It was a miracle that none of us were hurt, for they were at least 50 or more of us all over the island; we were on a company trip you see.

I wasn't in the thick of action. I didn't go near the place after the bomb took off. I saw none of the carnage or the dead bodies of the shattered neighbourhood. But the incident shook me still.

I felt for those people. These people did nothing to deserve what had happened to them. They were just the unfortunate pawn in the hands of a group of people who will stop at nothing to get what they think they want.

And you know what, I'm not sure what they stand for and what they're supposedly to achieve anymore. Is it some higher purpose or some greater good? I'm not quite sure. I only know the only things I associate these people is to do with the in-human qualities of evil, carnage, destruction. I think they've evolved from humans to pure evil. The look like humans, but they no longer have any heart, or any soul, or any capacity to think logically. They think they stand for a greater higher purpose, whatever it is. They think they've attained some form of enlightenment or spiritual immnuity from the things that they've done. But they can't be more wrong.

I was listening to the news this morning, and this lady made an observation about the people in Bali. She said that they seem to be suffering from some kind of bomb fatigue. They're no longer surprise or enraged when something like that happens to them.

See what these monsters have done. It's not only the dead they've done wrong against. But they've killed and snuffed out the spirits of the living as well.

I mourn for the dead. And I mourn even more for those who are living, but who've died on their insides.
