Tragedies

Have you ever paused to think as to why these apparent senseless acts of tragedy befall on mankind-be it jaipur or acts of god like the earthquake in china or the floods in myanmar(or burma as the western press cussedly keeps insisting on calling).what greater plan of god is being enacted when people ,who are leading quiet lives,get killed -lives gets snuffed out abruptly,lives change dramatically.can prayer and and meditation change the course of events/or is it that give one the strength to cope with these tragedies. acts of terror have to be confronted by an increase in preparedness.intelligence is the key-this calls for a dedicated group of people who trust each other who are willing to share data,who have the necessary powers and freedom of action not restricted by petty offialdom,who are closely guided,monitored and encouraged whereby necessary action is taken by acting on such intelligence,where action is taken against the perpertrators with a firm hand without any delay through special courts within 1 year -this will help atleast in avoiding a repetition of such an act by others.and what of acts of nature?again preparedness is the key;you cannot stop a flodd but you can certainly reduce damage;the same holds true of earthquakes too.lives can be saved;merely because they are a lots of people they are not expendable.when we learn?when will we realize that we all have to perform our duties?when will we be held accountable for our mistakes?
