I see blood on streets now, what you see?

Got up late this Sunday, had few things planned for the evening and dinner. When I come downstairs, only plan I had in mind was how much to eat in lunch as today one our favorite Sunday food was prepared. I walked into the lounge, saw a head line something like "20 killed in suicide attack on imam bargah in Chakwal" (now death toll has risen to over 30), my first thought was... Not again! Though, this is becoming a daily routine but one wish to see people smiling and enjoying their lives on TV not death. The unfortunate fact is not even a single missing day, you see TV reporting deaths across Pakistan.

Few facts, Do you know:
- What effects will have it on new generation, especially children aged between 7-12, at this age they learn and build personality from their surroundings and experiences.
- What effects it will have on youth, they want to see a bright future ahead (they always have ambitious goals) to play a constructive role for their community and country. Patriotism is always at pick in this age.
- What will happen to those, who're building their career, they're the most delicate ones… Most in this age are either experience a bitter reality of life and sometime they become over sentimental and disappointed to see chaos, destruction, lawlessness and discrimination in society. The research shows they're the most unhappy age-group in this world.
- Then comes the lot, who is recently married and have couple of kids... At this stage of life, you're most venerable to leave your homeland or lost the love and passion for the country. Because right now, you're not focusing on yourSELF but children you've and for their future, you're always willing to compromise yourOWN.
- Those who've married children, either telling their sons and daughters to leave the country for better future or either telling them to do everything possible for secure future. They're venerable to force their children to leave something big for something small (money).
- Senior citizens, they're the only hope of putting pause to everyone’s live. They always have some stories to tell to their grand children of good old days, if they're optimistic then they would tell them that time will come back, we only have to work together and love each other for what we're... not to hate for what we aren't.

The tragedy of today's Pakistan is that a Muslim is killing other Muslim for the name of Islam. And the biggest tragedy of all is "we remain silent to everything".

I regret to write about deaths, dishonorable acts, mayhem, tragedy but what else I should write, when I only see this around me...
