People's temper is higher than ever before and seems to be worsening with every passing year. With as much evidence we have in newspapers we fail to realize that not all violent situations make it to the news. Violence has as many faces as there are people around us. The household fight which turns physical, the little girl who is coerced into not telling anyone - this is the violence that effects us the most. We are witnesses to all this but we choose to ignore it hence becoming a part of this vicious cycle. Most of the time our brain supplies the excuse that it doesn't concern us and it all strikes as being far away from our own reality. But their always comes the time when we have to face violence face to face; usually we are so dumbstruck by it that the right path eludes us.
Silence strengthens violence. We keep mum on things we see and things we suspect because that's what we are taught. We see our elders know stuff and feel bad but avoid any action. We learn to duplicate what they do without questioning until we are the victims. But within us I believe we all know that keeping silent isn't the solution that we seek. the bad things of our life do not just disappear, we have to fight them. Violence in our life is the same. It will return to us sooner or later till the time we realize that only way to end is to challenge it, not with violence itself but with logic.
So the solution that we have against violence and every other bad thing that we witness is to make noise, as much noise as we can so that we can not be ignored. We have to make noise to live in peaceful silence.
