The debate is still going on regarding capital punishment. Some countries apply it while others are against it. And many are still debating over its relevance or effectiveness in the modern world. The question that is often raised and that seems to be the central point about capital punishment is whether we have the right to take the life of our fellow human beings. The answer may seem very simple for some people, but it is not so. For them, the answer could be a big NO, though this is what people have been doing since the dawn of human civilisation.
One of the many challenges facing the whole of humanity today is our youngsters who, despite being a great source of energy, are in a chaotic state, frustrated, disappointed, ignorant and unaware of themselves. Energy cannot always remain stagnant. It can be so for a time, but its real nature is bound to manifest. Any attempt to suppress, mislead and neglect that power called youth can be very dangerous.
Most of us have probably heard the saying, “Water, water everywhere, but not a single drop to drink!” extracted from the poem ‘The Ancient Mariner.’ I have a similar saying that goes like this, “Peace, peace everywhere, but the whole world is in a chaotic state! It is a pandemonium.” But there is peace, would say many. The very essence of the cosmos is ineffable peace. It is its very product. Is there anything more godly than peace?
