Taking a moment to jot some thoughts.

What has the world come to these days? Bombing one day, shoot-out another, people dropped dead like flies, bad guys doing bad deeds then running away, but the good guys won't stop chasing, and they will keep at it until someone is down down down. Could be the real bad guys, could be scapegoats. Who knows, who cares. People needed to know that the monsters who did the heinous deed get what they deserved; whether the authority got the right targets is less important. At least that's what it seemed on the outset…

Meanwhile, no one has the slightest idea about their motives behind such acts. Why? What was the reason they did that? Surely there must be more than just me who wanted to know the reason. Does it matter? I'd like to think it does, because everything is connected.

Over here in this side of the world, People are coming together to fight for a chance for democracy- not masked in subtle threats or treats/money giveaways, but democracy as it should be. Too long has gone by for the People to just sit and accept the status quo in the name of peace. Enough is enough. No one is saying The Other Side is perfect, or so very much better, but at some point one has to realize that the saying of 'better to go for the known devil than to go for the unknown evil' does not make much sense in this context anymore. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, Einstein said. Had I tweak it a little and say 'insanity is voting for the same party over and over again and hoping they would do things differently', it would be just as apt.

Sometimes it escapes me why a certain party can't get it that what People want is not so much to overthrow the government, but to have a better and more efficient one. If they could just do the right thing instead of disappointing us time after time, all this wouldn't be happening. Then again, the world is a more cynical and brutal world than I'd like to believe.
