When the phase called Childhood is subtracted from Life!





Childhood is such a sweet and innocent phase of a human’s life.
But if that phase is lost in violence, do you think any flavor remains in it?


Seriously after going through things like the ‘blood diamond’ movie, books on child soldiers, etc I feel like smashing that person hard, who brought this pitiless thing into existence. Especially when we look back into our childhood, we can imagine nothing except toys, chocolates, lots of love and care! While here we can imagine nothing but brutality and bloodshed. I don’t really understand what fun did those guys had on shooting innocent people. Where did the word called ‘Humanity’ vanish at that moment?

I get petrified when I think about those 12 year old boys holding AK’s and seeing my 16 year old brother playing with artificial fire pistols! If it’s difficult for us even to believe this sadistic state of affairs, just think of the little ones who faced it. What harm did they do to any body?

It is really gruesome to know the number of child soldiers used in different countries. According to Human Right Watch Org, many countries have child soldiers of around 8 years, and that includes girls and boys both. This is really sick. When I watched Blood Diamond, I thought that might be a cruel era. But when I came to know about recent scenario of Child Soldiers in this world I was shocked. Mainly, when I saw the name of my country listed for this cruelty, I was hurt. International Laws, Human Rights Laws and what all laws, are just made to show on paper, nothing is executed today in this world. When this world is developing by leaps and bounds in fields of science and technology, can’t they find some way to get innocent souls out of that cruel world?

I cannot wish that an Angel comes and take this viciousness away from these sick humans, but I definitely wish that some one finds out a vaccine to eradicate this viciousness from humans which make them force children to become young slaves! Any Purdue Medical Research Scientist reading this?

I, for now just pray to God, to give some wisdom to those nonsense fellows who make children work as slaves and soldiers. What will you pray?

First of all, your post was really intense. And I agree, that forcing a child to fight completely destroys their childhood. It's not fair that all of this violence is happening to innocent people around the world. However, I thought that your comment that everything is just written down on paper, but nothing is executed in this world today might have taken it one step too far. I agree that maybe somethings are for show on paper--it's inevitable with law-- but that doesn't mean that nothing is executed that governments write down that they will stand up for.
