Where does the violence start?

Everybody are searching the source for violence. I strongly believe that inability is the major cause for violence.

 

Yesterday, I was waiting for the bus in the stop. A local bus came and it was crowded, not so much, but still considerably crowded. When I got in, I was not able to find a way to get inside. I was thinking about getting inside. Suddenly a guy gave me a small gap to move inside. When I was pushing myself and my bag into the gap, the same fellow came closer to me.

 

At the same time, I felt something bad is happening. I realized that the guy was trying to take my purse from my pocket. I always prefer comfortable shirts that perfectly fits my body. Since I was holding the handrail in one hand , my bag in the other, he was trying to steal easily.

 

I turned back, with anger I asked him “Enna?” ( What?) . He moved a little back and took his hand away from my pocket. I was not feeling well, feeling feverish that evening. Hence I moved further inside the bus.

 

Then, I kept on watching him. Whoever crosses him, I fixed my eyes on his face. He was not able to steal anything from anybody. And since the local bus was from a village like area, everybody were wearing dhothies, except myself and a very few .

 

I was looking after him, till I get down. When the last stop came, an old guy was asking the conductor “ hello! I do not know what you are for? These three people ( I thought , he was single), were trying to steal from everybody. Even after knowing that, you did not do anything against them……” he was saying something like that.

 

I asked that old man, “ Ayya (sir), are you talking about the pickpockets?” , he replied ”Yes” . Now I got tensed, I was thinking about killing them. I got anger on the conductor too. If he is also a part of this group, what is the security available for the passengers?

 

Treating them legally, will not be the right approach. What can we do , even if the thieves give some amount to the policemen and come out easily.

 

Normally, I think more than twice even before scolding somebody. But, that time I was not able to control my anger.

 

I started thinking that , violence starts from the inability (most of the times). This may be a small issue. But, what the people who are not able to fight against the rich people, politicians, etc.

 

The only thing they can do is getting into the violence. I am not supporting the terrorism, violence, murders, suicide bombers, etc. but can anybody tell the solution?
