What if, we don't panic!

It was ended a horrible thing to see on television to see a live coverage of hostage taking blow by blow, fed by media to the whole world. But I don't want to elaborate further the details of what had happened yesterday's hostage taking of a dismissed policeman because I know only a few wasn't aware of what happened yesterday. May be the media had over looked of their task and the policemen had missed some of the operating procedures in assisting the situation. And also I should not forget my curious fellow Filipinos who were always present to this kind of scenario without thinking the risk of their lives at any moment. So to those who blame who's who, it’s easy to say who's to blame and who we are to blame who; so we should not. Every one who's been there on the scene of the crime doing their jobs were all at risk, except to those I think who had nothing to do there but wait and say as bystanders. It was a bloody ending drama. In my own opinion, everything that happened yesterday was as if in a rush presumption and decision making without the guidance of prayer. Like the hostage taker comes to conclude that his demand will be granted right away by hostage taking. The media people, taking every views of the event while even in a very difficult situation just to get a scoop doing their jobs. And the policemen of their wrong speculations as they come closer rushing to the bus for an assault, upon knowing the news that no one was alive inside the bus at the time the bus driver was able to escape for safety and even not able to control the bystanders as soon as the tragedy ended. But we've been there,it happens as it happened yesterday. Again, I don't want to blame even a single character involve because I know everyone prayed for a peaceful ending of the story. But what if we don’t panic? Was the scenario worst than that of EDSA 1? I don't think so. It was both climatic situations but the late President Cory Aquino handled it first through prayers and miracle happened. To that eleven hours of hostage taking what if the assailant move backward and say a moment of prayer to guide them what proper things to do before they resort to an assault? What if the newscasters were able to limit their freedom to scoop blow by blow of the scenario? And the bystanders as well, did they ever think that they were not able to add distraction to the police operations? Sometimes giving in a rush approach to a certain situation resulted to a non satisfying result. I know it's not that easy to face such circumstances but first remember to be compose, have a lot of patience and analyze the root of the problem and don't forget to say a little prayer first for guidance. As they the saying goes “Prayer moves mountains“. We’re only human beings and that’s why we need to be guided accordingly by HIS well.
