GOING AGAINST THE CREATION PLAN
SUBSCRIBING to the notion that violence is a viable
method of gaining one’s ends and then launching
oneself on a violent course of action are against the
creation plan of nature. Neither the concept nor the
deeds stemming therefrom are in accord with the
divine scheme of things. That is why the violent
way is destined to produce no good results and
serves no end save that of destruction.
If a farmer has a fertile piece of land, he can grow
crops in abundance. But this will be possible only if
he follows an appropriate method which is in
consonance with nature. If, however, he mindlessly
starts pelting his fields with stones or dropping
bombs on them, he will never be able to harvest the
desired crops. In spite of being the owner of fertile
acres, he will be no better off than one who has not
a square yard of land to his name. The same is true
of human life. Human life flourishes in an
atmosphere of peace, but is destroyed in an
atmosphere of violence.
