Anbe Sivam

Hii

As I sat extremely disturbed at the Pahalgam incidence which thoughtlessly snuffed out 26 innocent lives, on 22nd April 2025 there was a post in one of the friend's whatsapp group in which one of my friend mentioned the following:

Anbe Sivam, what the world truly is just love. Nothing more. Nothing less. What do you think ? Is love enough.

Today's blogging is my reply to the above...

Anbe Sivam

It's a beautiful portmanteau. With the present and earlier many happenings too, I wonder the releavance of this portmanteau though..

This would be significant only if it is used by all. A few follow this and few follow just the opposite theology and wreck havoc on the lives of the others who believe in Anbe Sivam.

Though it is a very optimistic statement, it may not hold relevance to the radicals, incapable of thinking sense and spreading terror, affecting innocent families who had absolutely no inkling of the evil in the minds of the few. The dreams and hopes of these innocent lives and families is irreversible. I wonder- Where is Love? Many father's lost their son, Many son's lost their fathers, uncles, brothers, nephews, husbands or just human beings.. the efforts of the mother's who gave their might, spent sleepless nights in bringing up these humans from birth. Can we imagine their plight. Where is Love? What would be there in their minds when we speak about Love? Still the perpetrators are at large and don't know how many more. For them it was like playing a computer game - playing shoot and kill. Where is Love! Animals have shown us better Love.

But yes with my friend's  well wish, May be there is HOPE!

Of course the conversation continued with many other friend's giving their own opines some in favor and some felt it could be changed only if the future humans have chips embedded in them that can be reset like a computer. 

I felt probably we can hide the truth by wishful thinks, but the core truth remains in the form of action- good or bad and we the descendants of sapiens are known for destruction from the time first form of human species evolved.

 The conversation concluded with these remarks from my friend and I hope she proves right and I am wrong:

Humans are born with the ability to learn and re learn until death. And we can reset ourselves to be better versions at any point for as long as we still have the ability to think. Of course mere wishful isn't going to change the world just as a fancy star studded music concert for world peace will never bring peace.

However, instead of twiddling our thumbs over the state of the world and doomsday phobia, what if..we ensured peace in our own lives. Shed the petty stuff and suddenly life opens up. Peace is in microcosms 

Amen!
