Dumb

Lost…for words.

One of the most potent impacts of an emotion which refuses to spill over is to leave you speechless. Paradoxically, the exact opposite is also one of the fallouts of a similar situation, when all you can do is just scream your lungs out in a fit of rage.

The past few days, as the country has been raving over the abhorrently appalling state of affairs we have all been subjected to, I have watched as the lump in my throat kept on growing. And much that I wanted to scream out, I just couldn’t (or maybe I was trying to suppress that urge, I don’t know, but it had an inverse effect of increasing my urge). Watched as I was reminded once again about how the value of human life stood absolutely depleted, when it gets confronted by the absolute vileness of the inhumane (and this probably is a very polite manner of putting it). And like me, there have been millions who have been subjected to a misery which our generation might term the worst to have been etched on its soul.

Everyone has had something to say, and I have just been silent – observing and assimilating. Anger is a good thing, as long as you know that you are channelling it in the proper manner; most of the times, though, you tend to act foolishly under its influence. I think its time enough for me to vent out some bit of whatever has been running through my head.
