For the past month; we have said, heard and read so many words. We have followed the news on TV, radio, online, newspapers and on all sorts of media that we could get our hands or eyes on. The question is; what now? What is next?

Seriously; we all agreed on certain points and conflicted on others. We heard the opinions of both sides.

It is quite evident that we have a clash of civilizations and no one is able to evaluate the other point of view; simply because each are using their set of standards to weigh the others’ actions and reactions, and this technique is doomed to failure; it is like two people are trying to communicate with one speaking Chinese and the other speaking French, they don’t get the other language and they start shouting at each other as if they spoke louder and shouted higher, the other would finally figure out what the words mean.

Having said that and got it out of the way, what are we going to do next?

It is not enough to write about the incident and discuss it within the blogosphere; we really need to reach those who are not getting our messages, I mean; what is the point of sending out a message if it is not reaching its destination?

We are locked behind our screens, expressing our opinions to those who share them with a slight difference in point of views, but the rest of the world is like a boiling pot, and some parties found this as a great opportunity to add wood to the fire to keep the pot in boiling state, and I afraid if no reasonable action is taken; it will eventually reach the explosion and there is no telling what the consequences might be.

What can we do? Is word all what we have? How can we reach the angry crowds and inject some sense into them? How can we reach the other side and show them the real face of us; the educated sophisticated people that want to make a change? How can we do this change?

Since actions speak louder than words; it is really a mind trigger to think about which action is speaking louder here. Is it the negative or positive actions on each side? If you ask me; it is the negative on both sides. I don’t see any positive action being taken in the right direction to solve this global crisis, and it is a chain reaction that will continue to snowball and grow bigger if it is not stopped and prevented from going further.
