We Could Fall....

What is worse than a forest guide mauled by a tiger?

I always was morbidly afraid of snakes. And never thought I would realise that a far more deadly predator existed... This predator was more close to us than any of the so called wild beasts... He existed within us.

The video of LTTE Prabhakaran's son's killing by the SriLankan Troops is another example of how low humans could fall!


I can never understand why the incident ever happened. Was the 12 year kid a threat to national security? Was he a terrorist? was he a part of whatever his father had done???
And I don't want to understand either.
We do hear people saying "You can't fall any further!".
But incidents like this one show us the truth... That WE COULD FALL...
We could keep falling as long as we wanted to..

The worst part is that this event will fade away into oblivion... :(

I am editing this post  after almost one year of first publishing it to thank the journalists whose work has now brought international focus to this issue again.

I was right when I said that the event will fade away into oblivion... I truly hope that this time it won't...

I can't even say "Rest in peace" Balachandran... I can just hope for it... :(
