Only when it happens to you will you feel the real pain. Until then, it will be, "Poor souls, they are suffering so much, they are so unlucky! No, it won't happen to us!"
The above conception and perception have been every human being's instinctual thought since time immemorial. So, when the cursed wars are going on in other corners of the world, with the humanity suffering the torturous consequences, we go on, here, in our own corner of the world, with our routine way of life; going to the movies, going to the stadiums to cheer our favourite teams, having parties, going to our favourite restaurants, gobbling up our favourite foods and drinks, having karaoke sessions; watching the tv dramas and comedies - all the routines, because, "No, it won't happen to us! Those poor souls, they are so unlucky!"
Yes, only when it happens to us will we feel the real pain, the agony, the physical and mental tortures, the heartaches, the untold anguish!
Strange creations we are. Are we not?
" Waiter, my usual, please!"
