News stating that a 23-year-old pharmacology student has just recently unloaded his revolver during a class in the biophysics research institute at Pecs University, Hungary has again shocked the global people.

A pharmacy student in the beginning year was killed and a few more including a teacher were injured. Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai has assured that motives behind such violence in the academic center will be seriously examined.

I apprehend more such sad news will there be in the news deck. We will again read them and get shocked and promise to go deep into the motive, yes, calmly. Such promises or assurances from persons at the helm of power, I am sorry, I can no more take as granted. Reasons behind recurrence of the same kind of violence in the educational centers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and even in some places of the eastern hemisphere have not been properly researched so far. Statements are issued by some persons and words of condolence are sent to the victim(s)’ family. We again engage us with our daily business.


The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting that took place April 16, 2007

We love to forget that we breed violence daily and that we rear it with pomp and pleasure. We have made us handicapped in this arena to such an extent that we cannot firmly utter our disapproval to a lot of things which have been allowed to happen although we are sure of the fact that those may rot the environment.

Children love toys and they love games. We have played vital roles to pollute their innocent mind. We have not asked why most of the toys for the kids have been associated with war and killing of rivals and with meaningless violence. We do not feel how a child’s mind may be tuned if he finds that most of his elements of games are related to guns and pistols and tanks and similar such things.

    Consider: violence is global. And therefore it is our duty as parents to expose children to violence–as per our metering–not to harm them, but to inform them. To teach them. “This is the world, here is how to deal with it.” So that when they grow up, they do not grow up jaded and overexposed or sheltered and kept from violence to a crippling degree. Nay, I say. They need to know what it is, without anger being involved. If we as adults can give them that, then the next generation will stand a better chance of peaceful living.
