Question.

The recent confirmed death of Osama bin Laden raises a whole lot of questions compared to when he lived.  Yes, he may be some threat to America, but from a neutral perspective is it something to rejoice in??  Sure, a figure of terrorism has been removed.  Surely the void left by a force of evil will be filled with a more powerful and malicious figure.  All over Facebook, I see loads of people gloating at his dismissal.  And what all these idiots say? "Yay! He's dead."

What the hell's your problem?

Is al Qaeda gone for good? No.
Has the War on Terrorism ended or even begun approaching to an end?  No where close.
So why the hell are you guys so goddamn happy for?

Humanity has learned to feed not just from food but from the pain of others.  Is that what you want for you and everyone near you?  To bloody live on the grief projected around the world?!  We're better off dead then.

Taking this quote from my senior, who is currently studying in America:
"The fact that we are rejoicing in the death of another human being, is disturbing and twisted in itself.  Is this what we have come to?"- Vineeta Tan -
It's a very powerful statement.  So I question the world: Is this what we should be happy of?  The death of another person??  What if that were to be someone you knew, worse yet, someone close to you.  Only we are capable of destroying each other.  That's our curse.

A damning curse.
