An Amazing Show of Human Forgiveness

I was just watching DOR the other day when my mom was watching it the 'n'th time.........

And just yesterday I came across an article on yahoo (http://in.news.yahoo.com/indiabroadcast/20080226/r_t_ibn_nl_general/tnl-59902-3a4f8c1.html) which made me feel, like a reel life jumped to real life..........

Just a day before that i was talking to CHOR about life being fair and unfair and how people get hurt due to no fault of theirs..... and this article seemed to be a perfect scenario where her arguments simply FAILED..........

What struck me more was that something as strange as this happened in a far away land......The effects were to be borne by the accused as dictated by the law of the land........ Here it was an eye for an eye, a life for a life....... Its strange that laws like this even exist....... Its even stranger to know that probably they're required.....

But there is something beyond the power of law........ It was the power of forgiveness and pardon....... The survivors wont get their loss back... but maybe they're much more responsible and sensitive to understand that they probably do not want to be the cause of inflicting the same pain and tragic emotions they've gone through, bcos of the loss of a loved one........

Yes, some (=Chor) may argue that they probably did it for the money, or weakness of emotions, or whatever.... Maybe they did it just for the money...... And maybe not everyone is as strong, to accept this unfortunate truth.... Emotions would run wild and revenge and hatred would set in...... Perfectly Normal I'd say.... but just this once, I'd like to believe otherwise....

Just so that I know that there is still some HOPE left, for Goodness and Humanity............
