I have no respect for even a single politician of this generation. I have no affinity to any of the casteist, religious, societal ideologies either. All I trust is this - when a life ends, when death occurs, all the goodness and evil associated with that life come to end. The soul departs leaving behind all the glories and condemnations. We, as decent human beings and fellow souls, can only pay respect to it and pray for its salvation.
But the things that I see in social media are absolutely horrifying. And, repulsive to say the least. Never has one seen the animals celebrating the death of one of their own. But here, we civilized humans are busy taking side, for and against Karunanidhi, reviling one another in words soaked in filth and acid, laying bare all the religious, casteist muck dumped inside our minds.
Holy or wicked, let his Karma deal with him. This is not the moment to don the holy garb and judge him. There is no pride in attacking someone when he cannot defend himself. Similarly there is no goodess in reviling someone at one's death. If you can, do pray for the soul. If not, just go about your tasks, ignoring the death. Taking to social media, throwing sickly words about his death or hurling dirty abuses at unseen, unknown people belonging to other ideologies/religions/castes, just because they eat, pray, think, sleep or shit in a way different from yours is to only prove how lowly a creature we humans are.
Let peace prevail!
