Disclaimer:This article is related to real life and not to eRepublik so if you're not interested, just ignore it. I just want to convey a message through this medium.
By now, you all might have heard about the tragic, worse than brutal killing of innocent children at an Army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan. Army Public School & College System, commonly referred to as APSACS is a school system administered by the Pakistani army to provide education to wards of military personnel and civilians alike, albeit its formation was mainly to provide an educational facility to wards of military personnel. Having been a student of this system all my life with the exception of 4 years I studied at a private school, seeing the uniform I have been wearing for 10 years covered in the blood of children aged not more than 17 years broke my heart. Don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that I haven't been as depressed as I've been in the past 3 days than ever before. The manner in which the children were killed and the teachers burned in front of their students is what cannot even be compared to animals. I also want to clarify that the children were not 'killed for going to school' but rather it was an attack on the children of army-men because these terrorists are too cowardly to face them head-on. Still, the bravery shown by the martyred Prinicipal, the teachers who were burned alive but still continued to save the children and the boys who were attacked. Luckily, a close friend escaped the carnage as he had skipped school that day.
Pakistan has suffered 50,000 casualties fighting against these terrorists who dare to use the name of 'Islam' for their evil plans and cowardly TRY to justify them using the Quran and Ahadees, but please remember that Quran isn't a textbook, its a book which in order to understand, you need to understand the context of the text.
My father has been a veteran of quite a few operations carried out against these extremists and I'm well aware of the ground realities of this conflict that continues to this day and I also have suffered from this conflict. It's time that we change our mindset to oppose anyone who supports these butchers (Taliban/Extremists) instead of issuing just hollow condemnations. How many people must get martyred before we wake up? How many families will be destroyed? How many innocent dreams will be lost to this cold blooded murder?
If you can, register your protest in any way possible, physical or through words!
Let's not let the sacrifice of these souls go to waste! This is the time to unite against the forces trying to numb our voice, not for a week but until the end to this extremism. If we cannot, then we've failed not as a state, but as a nation. And none of us can live our lives with the guilt of the debt we have to pay.
Let's say a prayer for the victims and the families affected by the disaster.

This is the first article I've written in 200 days. I've been busy in studies and all that stuff but the effect of the incident on me has just been unimaginable.
Nice one. Do you my cousin died there
I'm sorry to hear that. He's a martyr and in a better place now.

Nothing can convey the sense of despair that we as a nation feel and the blow all humanity has taken for the meaningless murder of these innocent lives.
Every other house in Peshawar has held a funeral in the past few days. Every other house.
And everyone in Pakistan knows someone who has been affected by this tragedy, friends, family, alumni, neighbours. Truly devastating.

I can't possibly imagine the horror that you are going through. This is not the way anyone is supposed to live, it is traumatizing. Try to get away from there if u can. I am serious. Violence, hatred and mob mentality is very dangerous for those who subscribe to it and also the ones that have to witness it. I wish people could opt for peace and positive way of living and let people be free.
Stay calm and try to vent out your frustrations and strong emotions in a healthy way. If you need someone to talk to, I am here. You can talk to me anytime. You are a strong kid.
We are sort of adapted to these conditions, and can thrive longer than normal people,tbh.
It is dehumanizing and numbing to adapt to such conditions and call your life as "thriving". Also speaking for the "we" is being presumptuous. Environment is a vital part for development of a human.
Yes humans can probably show great restraint and courage in adversity. But living in a constantly stressful environment will cause PTSD. And you should not get conditioned to it.

It is very sad what is happening in the world, many innocent people and children killed by economic or religious interests.
Honor all men and women, civilian and military in the world, that at certain times of the attained history, gave their lives for his soil and defend their Country
Pray for all those martyrs of the world for their peace and rest in eternity, for family or friends to have divine consolation
be strong and my best regards and condolences to the families.-
They will Pay for this
