My colleague in Trainers’ Association, Zahoor Zaidi
speaks often about the threatening trepidation of terrorism. He insists that
terrorists are not just those who directly snuff or maim lives, but also those
whose diminutive acts led to eventual destruction and devastation. In fact, Zaidi’s
analysis exposes even seemingly innocuous acts as paths to peril.
Motorists who ignore speed limit restrictions
endanger the safety of bridges they travel on. Citizens, who refuse to align to
the responsible management of garbage, trigger a deadly epidemic. Those who carelessly
pollute water and environment jeopardize innocent lives. What may seem as casual
transgressions toward social responsibility end up akin to quasi terrorism.
Irresponsible behaviour is born of contempt for collective responsibilities. When narrow motives eclipse the common good, we involve in acts that eventually lead to the endangerment of lives. It is pertinent to note that often, proactive promoters of selfish greed contribute to deadly acts of destruction. Humanism is oft attacked by careless acts of irresponsibility.
To be better at ensuring zero tolerance to acts that lead to quasi terrorism, we must ask ourselves: Do our careless actions violate the common good? Does our self-centredness result in glorious insensitivity to the lives and livelihoods of others? Does our indignant talk result in committed and consistent actions as citizens of an interdependent world?

To BE BETTER at escaping the vice of quasi terrorism…
Let’s respond with responsible acts of humanism!
