The Killing Question

srizals@gmail.com

Through out the history of man. It seems it is inevitable that man would have to kill in order to achieve something. In order for him to achieve something, someone else would of course, had to lose something. This vicious circle of violence seems never ending. As they say, history will repeat itself because the players are the very human that as always, fails to learn something from it.

Most of the time, somebody had to die. This is the problem. Who are we really are? Are we some distinct species completely different and isolated from one another? Unrelated somehow with each other?

Man is a creature of curiosity. It had invented many theories to answer the questions of life. And like man, these theories of course have flaws.

Muslims believe that every human being is the descendants of the holy prophet Adam a.s and the first woman, Eve, the desirable.

Incest is unavoidable at that time, so Cain had to kill Able to gain something for himself, and Able had to lose something of his own. And the rest is history that kept on repeating itself.

The next time you had to gain something and others than you would of course lose something, please bear this in mind. That person is no other than your distant blood brother after all. 3:15 a.m. in the lands of the Malay and the silence deceives you into believing that you are alone in this world.
