We paid with 178 lives to realize the fact that no more can our policemen protect us with Lathi's. Our policemen are still trying to learn how to tap multiple mobile phones, while the terrorists are already using satellite phones. Why does bad always need to spit in our face for us to realize that times are changing. Only when a plane crashed into a building did we realise that important buildings need to protected from air attacks. Only when they came by sea, did we start taking coastal security seriously. Suddenly we are guarding the sea, as well the airspace. But bad, meaning the terrorists will next find another ingenious way to hurt us.
All of the above makes me think, is bad always ahead of the good? What is victory after losing hundreds of lives and orphaning thousands of families. We are trying to equip our police with AK-47's while next time the terrorists will come with better machine guns. Is good always ahead of the bad? May be, good does not weaponise itself until bad strikes, If thats true, lets anticipate the bad, lets prepare for it . Let's be good, but lets think like BAD. Lets guess where all are we weak, which can be the probable targets. Lets not just be the good, lets be the best! Is good always ahead of the bad??? Hopefully, not again, never again!

there is no value for good if there is no bad. It has always taken a conflict, a 'bad' experience to create a 'good' change.
for eg: The sinking of the Titanic.
Would you say it was good?
Looking back at history, it bloody hell was for the entire future of the shipping industry. It has probably been one of the single most important factors in the development of maritime rules, communications and measures.
So i guess its all in the way we look at it. Best is when we look at it with a 'bad' perspective even in the 'good' times - as ogivy would say, live with "Divine Discontent".
Guess than what u r saying is, sum bad is really good! or rather neccesary.......Agree!
