Fruitless Action

I feel nervous every time I leave home for work. The recent bombing incidents have made me think of how dangerous things are nowadays. Imagine, I ride the top three forms of public transportation in the metropolis: the Jeepney, the Bus and the MRT. With the recent bombing of the Bus in Balintawak, Quezon City, I sometimes think that the public utility vehicle where I'm riding might be the next target. Well, I can't do anything about it because I still need to go to work and feed my family.

I don't get why these terrorists are doing such evil acts. Killing innocent lives in one blow is not a joke. Millions of Filipinos still believe that life is precious and why the hell these terrorists think otherwise boggles the mind. I'm sure they have their own families also. If one of their family member, let say, dies don't they mourn? Of course they do unless if they don't have a heart at all. Don't they realize that the victims of their bombings have families too, waiting for them at home?

Nobody's is perfect in this world. I admit, I sometimes commit mistakes but then I'm just human but then killing innocent people is just too much. I just hope and pray that one day God will enlighten their minds and stop these fruitless actions.
