Global Sadness

Here’s My Perspective on the Murder of Shinzo Abe.

The world lost another prominent leader because of a person with unknown motives.

Purpose of the Story

I wanted to share this short and sad story as it touched my heart, as it did millions of others today. As Japan is a country I love, the word Japan is in my social media feed, filtering news for my news repository. I consume world news carefully.

There were too many news items from my reliable sources to ignore earlier today. However, one keyword in my social media feed was prominent, shaking the entire world. It was sad and tragic.

The keyword was the name Shinzo Abe.

I have had an affinity and respect for this leader since 2008, so I felt the urge to check the news items saddening me. After digesting the news and a meditation session, I decided to write a story as a tribute.

Tragic News in Japan

Unfortunately, the former prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was assassinated in Nara earlier this morning. He was delivering a campaign speech.

Shortly after his badly injured body was taken to the hospital, he died at the age of 67. He was a long-serving prime minister of Japan.

My understanding from the news was the killer was a 41-year-old man who had worked in the army before. He was a member of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

His excuse was his frustration with the prime minister.

Irony Creates Shock Globally

My first impression was one absurd person could kill the dreams of millions.

Working in Japan for several years, I know Japan has zero tolerance for guns. As far as I know, citizens do not carry guns. During my work, I had never heard of a gun-related incident in the country. I haven’t read any news on them either.

When I watched the news on social media, reporters mentioned that the murderer had used a homemade gun. After the incident, police also found explosive materials in his home.

The news items on social media were brief, so I had difficulty getting conclusive remarks about the security measures.

However, the reporters mentioned that there were stringent security checks. I wonder how they missed a person with a gun.

Frustration as an excuse to kill a person is ironic. Everyone feels frustrated with another person or event. Imagine what happens if we make such attempts when we get frustrated.

Another irony is that this politician is globally reputable, making friends with many countries, including Australia, where I live.

Moreover, during his prime ministership, the relationship between Australia and Japan significantly improved. I admired Shinzo Abe’s leadership and lifestyle.

When checking Social Media news, I noticed that prominent politicians from Australia, Germany, India, Russia, Poland, and NATO representatives sent their tributes. The common sentiment was “the world has lost a great leader.”

The current prime minister also showed his sadness publicly and characterized the event as tragic and unacceptable for Japan. He prayed for Mr. Shinzo Abe’s recovery but then when he heard he was that, he wished him to rest in peace.

Another irony was the sentiments in social media feeds were positive. A prime minister loved by millions lost his life because of one person who hated him.

So one crazy person is enough to kill the dreams of millions.

Final Thoughts

I see this sad incident as a wake-up call for humans. Despite our technologies, science, and laws, our lives are fragile. One person can create massive grief for billions, adversely affecting our physical and mental health.

Despite our good intentions and actions, we will still have enemies attempting to stop us. It is okay to have opposition and competition for a healthy democracy. However, killing a person is the worst crime one can do.

Hearing about gun incidents from the United States recently shocked the world. As a result, millions of people live with anxiety and fear of losing their loved ones.

Unfortunately, this incident, from another angle, added fuel to the fire, making humanity more anxious and worried about the detrimental effects of guns.

Shinzo Abe was not the first leader assassinated. We lost many more and still couldn’t find a viable solution in the 21st century.

I kept asking my higher self several questions during my meditation session today. I wondered what the use of guns was.

Why does humanity need guns?

Why cannot our laws and ethics work in this civilized world?

Our primitive brains desire protection for survival. But why do we need to kill each other to survive?

Why can’t we find better solutions than guns to protect ourselves?

I don’t believe a soul wants to kill another soul. However, in human forms, our higher self, and lower clash. When the lower self wins, we face tragedies like this.

In reality zone, rather than dealing with petty issues, we must find ways to stop deadly crimes that badly hurt humanity. I hope we find ways to recognize our collective consciousness, as I dreamed about in the 33rd century and 50th centuries.

I send my condolences and prayers to Mr. Shinzo Abe’s family, fans, and the citizens of Japan.

Rest in peace, San Shinzo Abe. You made a difference in this ephemeral world and the problematic planet. I desire to connect with you in another peaceful world.

Goodbye for now to this beautiful soul with love and respect. We will remember and cherish his legacies.
