Unsafe Politics
A news peice I came across yesterday strikes me the most. Some robbers entered a bank, attacked the manager and ran away with some money. What immediately strikes me was not the loss of money or anything, but rather the dangers to life. I have heard many people say Politics is an unsafe place to be in. U might be attacked. Politics is filled with rowdi's and u come in comtact or face to face with them. Now, the manager of this bank was not into politics, he still had to face the dangers from the negative elements of the society.
We see a lot of hoax calls, saying there is a bomb planted in your office. Employees are trained to respond to emergencies, but how good they can be at these times I doubt. If Iam working at 3:00 am in my office and if a security alarm goes off also, I wouldn't be concerned. Afterall my issues with the software are more important that any alarm. How awake I can be to dangers.
Dangers from Terrorism, Gundas, Robbery or to the recent rape and kill or omnipresent. These are born from the political clouds, no doubt. But the negatives in the society are not restricted to any levels. If we need to face dangers, we will face it wherever we are. A S/W Engineer is as unsafe as a politician and a politician is as unsafe as a fisherman.
In the area I live I have seen numerous Hindu-Muslim clashes, Tear gases et al. Now the people affected were not the politicians or anyone, rather the man on the streets was attacked.
Ignoring politics or running away from it can never be an option. If we feel there are dangers, they would obviously spread over to other spheres of life and they have already spilled over. We cannot be safe by being away from it. the only way to safety is to change. Change How and When, we will discuss further as we go along.
