i agree, forgiveness has to have a root or else people around the world will disregard others wich will lead ot more problems in the end

Amrita Singh · Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2006 3:51 am Post subject: Forgiving is the best way!

If everyone refuses to forgive, we will continue to live in our ever-corrupted world and it will never change. One has to be willing to forgive and give others a second chance in order to make the world a better place for all of us to live in. It won't make a world of difference but it is surely a step closer to peacefulness and prosperity.

Namaste to all,

I agree with what you said.
One small question.
Is protection of the society and lives in the hands of few or on all?

If all, I think we should be daring enough to protect ourselves and others around us. Not by murdering the perpetrators, but by bringing them to the law.

But in this present senario, if a temple is attached and the people are taken hostage, what should a person do? Can he use his strength to free the hostages, even when it means death to the terorists. Or should we wait for the police which may cost innocent lives.

Deepan.

Namaste Deepan,

The best means for the protection and promotion of society is for all perform their Dharma.

Each of us - whether in Law Enforcement or not - have a civic duty to help and protect our fellow citizens. If there is a clear and present danger, and there is no other means of protecting those in danger than by intervening, then I think a person is justified in taking action. I would be surprised if such a one would be penalized in a court of law in any civilized land for taking what he saw to be necessary action under those circumstances. However, common citizens should not take the law into their own hands in the execution of justice. We should not, for example, form a mob to hunt down and kill a suspected criminal out of frustration with the properly empowered authorities. That is crossing a line. But in the scenario you pose - if there is no one else to help, then yes, it is a person's civic duty to intevene in the hope of saving life.
