the stand-off

Close your eyes and imagine this. 
There is no war outside. 
The sun is shining
there are flowers and birds 
and you. 

Now open your eyes,
there is a war raging on outside,
The sun is shining
there are flowers and birds
and you. 

Why do we blink? They say it is to make sure our eyes stay wet and to keep away infections. 
In this post, I intend to understand what happens when there are murderers around. The impact of murder on humankind and so on. Is murder an instinct really?
The problem with this question is, its pithiness. 
 
Ousting a person from his home, leaving him with no hope of refuge, kicking his existence in the stomach, is murder. It shows that the targets were chosen carefully because the ones you want to kill have to be among the best, and when they are at the most vulnerable stage of life. 

We cannot call what a virus does murder. So what if, this too is not murder and instead is a malaise running deep inside the veins of our being, and has even reached the heart? 

Honest young men, whose glory lies in the fact that their lives are at stake. 
It does not go in vain. No such life goes in vain. 
Do not give in to the drama of life that surrounds the dead. Look -- It is just people rejoicing over the fact that they live on.
