man on mission II - the human side of X


On February 5 I left the blog-story "Man on mission" incomplete bcoz story like this certainly deserves more than just one post. We have seen the childhood and youth of X. We have also seen how he has grown into a terrorist with excellence. But can X be changed into a better person? Yes it can be done. Is it by catching him and physically torturing him? Is it by hanging him till death? No, it can only be done by making the soft side of him arise again. Instead of torturing him physically, show him acts of human goodwill. Show him these acts every second, 24*7*365. If repeated acts of cruelty have made him a curse then repeated acts of goodwill will, atleast minimise his level of insanity. Make him do acts of goodwill like gifting poor children food&cloth and helping handicapped people. Thus, instead of targeting X we will target the evil inside him. Show him the people whose life he has destroyed. He will start hating his own "acts of evil." Then show him the life of saints like Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. He can see the only way to turn his bads into good is by following the path of those saints. Thus our X, who was a terrorist, will become a much better person.
So my friends we should never target a person who is bad but the badness inside him. We should always try to change a person from negativity to positivity. No person in this world wants to be negative but the situations and surroundings makes him so. So lets give everyone, "a second chance."

Man on mission - the rising of X


The 21st century gave rise to the most dangerous form of "man on a mission" - the terrorist. So what goes inside the mind of a terrorist? How to eradicate terrorism completely? the mind of a terrorist is quite similar to that of an assassin, only that the assassin kills for money whereas terrorist thinks that he kills for religion. lets begin with considering the terrorist or the assassin as Mr. X and try to get into his mind.
The childhood of X has been a very stressful one. the ability to survive in the situation made him tough for the times ahead. An incident or series of incidents have taken away the innocence in his life. Mr. X is now a tough man with mental toughness higher than others. this tough mentality probably makes him physically tough too. He is focussed, he is determined and if intelligent then it makes him superior over others of his kind. he searches for the aim in life and if he gets the right one then he grows up to become a hero, but if he gets the wrong one then he becomes the ultimate bad man. But our Mr. X gets homage in the arms of the most dangerous and ruthless terrorist of our times. He learns all the tricks of the business. His teacher too, is now afraid of him. the pace of his learning, his intelligence and cunningness really scares his master. One fine day the recruit is sent into the field to complete his first task. He walks into the "chakravyu" and comes out of it leaving all the spokes of the wheel shattered to pieces. Still there is no sign of who did it. his work leaves his teacher shocked and bewildered. he is far better than the teacher imagined.
What makes Mr. X so tough. is it the teachings or the volcano inside him. Everytime he is assigned a mission he sees it as his revenge against the cruel world. the happenings in his life have made him a man without emotions. So how can X be changed into a human being again? Leave aside changing him, can he atleast be caught? who will catch him? can terrorism be ever eradicated from earth? I will answer all these questions in the next post ... let the excitement grow a bit....
