Sleepless Nights

Once as a child when I was reading Quran I came across a verse which stated that "We have created days for people so that they may work in it and earn for themselves and their families and we have created nights so that people may sleep in it and take some rest." As a Muslim I believe in these verse and I believe that many of my Christan brothers and Hindus will also believe that, because when I look to any religion all has given us the teaching of love, Care and sympathy. But No, today its not like this. Today we don't have any love for any one even for ourselves and that's why we are so much in stress, tensions, depressions and every person in 10 is attacked by some kind of anxiety.
In my 24 years of life I have noticed that we have done nothing but just blamed each other. We the Muslims blame Hindus and they blames Christan and Christan blames us. But what we will get from that, Personal satisfaction or Mind satisfaction or what. In fact there is nothing in it. We have made our lives so restless and our nights so sleepless by just thinking that if we are not the terrorists and they are not then who are, If we are fighting with America against war of terror then who are terrorists. The Answer is that terrorists are terrorists they are Neither Muslims nor Christan or any one else. Here in Pakistan I have seen so much bomb blasts on Mosques and killing 1000s of people since 2008. Can a Muslim attack on a Mosque, or a Christan on a Church or a Hindu on a Temple. No, they will rather die before doing such action.
Our governments are playing games with public, just to be in power, killing 1000s of innocent people just in search of some few people, attacking countries, making people refugee and prisoners, doing rapes, abusing etc. Why. Or they just kill 10000s of people to take revenge of some 3000 people and attack different countries. Why? If I look in my country I find that there is unemployment, Less Income, High taxes, High rates, Oil and Gold rates increase day by day, People are facing starvation, floods, Diseases and many more thing and so you people will also see in your own country. If a government cant fight these things so how can they fight for us for some outside enemies or forces. If they want to fight for us so they must fight against these things first. We don't want any oil or revenge. For revenge Allah or GOD or Bhagwan is there. and coutrs and laws are there for justice. We just want our human basic rights.
Our nights are sleepless, A boy can't sleep because he thinks all the time about this girl, a girl can't sleep because she is going to get married, A man can't sleep because he has job stress and a woman can't sleep because her children are facing some difficulty. We have large bed rooms, with A.Cs and heaters and comfortable beds but we don't have sleeps. We are thinking that what if this happens and what if that happens and at the end neither this nor that happens. So then why to think, as I believe that whatever is going to happen you can't change it whether how much you think and you can't run away from it. It will happen to you one way or another. If you want to fight it you can't until it came to you.
A father is sleepless because his child is doing low in university and a mother is sleepless because her husband is in tension. A daughter is sleepless because her parents are upset and so it goes as a chain. Why to take tension, if he/she is not well in university so they may be best at something else, don't emphasize that on him/her which they can't do, let them to select their own choices and find their own ways to lead the life. Just guide them for good and bed.
We all are sleepless thinking about the political environments, Inflation rates, Wars, bomb blats, rapes, murders, robberies, child abuse, income, relationship. but are all these things imposed on us by religion. which religion tell us to do all things. In Quran I read "Attack your enemy wherever you find them, and if they ask for forgiveness, forgive them", different extremist are using it against Muslims but this verse was related to the war, that if in a state of war you find an enemy so attack them and can anyone tell me that whats wrong in it, because all religion will support this statement and all governments.
Our nights are sleepless because of us, to make the world peaceful and to gain mind satisfaction and peace we must change ourselves, and we must change the image of each others in our hearts. we are humans and we are children of this earth. we will not get anything with wars or hate or a day will come that all of us will sleep because of these things for eternal.
