cannot see it, but no future event exceeds its importance. it is the matter most worth talking about, the most important news that anyone can hear. ROSE-COLOURED SPECTACLES Man wrongly supposes that he will be able to step into their shoes by destroying others. What man must finally come to terms with is not the ‘here and now’ but all eternity. on May 30th, 1981, the former president of Bangladesh, Ziaur rahman (1936-1981), paid a visit to Chittagong. That night, as he lay asleep in the official rest house, he was attacked and murdered by one of his officers, Major General Manzoor. The latter hoped that by eliminating President Ziaur rahman, he would be able to take over the reins of the government. however, he had made a fatal miscalculation. Except for one loyal squadron, the ordinary soldiers did not extend their support to him, and just two days later, on June 2nd, he was shot dead by his enemies. General Manzoor met the same fate which is the eventuality of all humanity. When their time comes, some will receive natural deaths, while others have the misfortune to meet violent ends. death is inevitable, but no one learns a lesson from this. no ‘General Manzoor’ thinks that after doing away with his enemy, he too will be done to death
