Preserving the Innocence

We were watching the Karachi besiege. My daughter said, "I am scared! Why are they doing this? Will it happen to us too?"

"Let's hope not," I replied. But more can we say any more in today's world?

"But why are they doing this? Do they want to have power, rule over others, or others to listen to them? What is it they want?"

After a brief pause, I said, "They are just made that way. They just destroy thinking that is the only way."

"That's what," she said triumphantly. "So we can teach them not to be like that."

I paused to look at her. A chip off the block?

Read: Gora;  or does the solution lie only in destroying: Raktabeeja?
