Here we go again. Another day, another grim headline dominating global news feeds about a **Pakistan mosque explosion**. It is always somewhere, isn’t it? The latest reports confirm that at least 31 people are dead. They were just standing there. They were praying. They were doing what they were told they were supposed to do to be good people. And for their trouble, they got blown to pieces in yet another act of senseless **terrorism**.

It was a **suicide bomber**. Of course it was. That is the favorite move of the coward these days. You walk into a room full of unarmed people who have their eyes closed in prayer, and you pull a pin. You do not fight them. You do not look them in the eye. You just turn yourself into human confetti and take as many poor souls with you as you can. It is pathetic. It is weak. But in this world, being weak and loud gets you immediate search visibility and attention.

Let’s look at the root cause of this **sectarian violence**. It happened at a **Shia mosque**. For those of you who don’t keep track of the endless, stupid scorecards of religion, here is the simple version. There are two main teams in this part of the world. They believe in the exact same God. They read the exact same book. They follow almost all the same rules. But because they disagree on who was supposed to be the boss a thousand years ago, they kill each other.

Think about that. It would be like people who love Ford trucks blowing up people who love Chevy trucks. It is madness. It is the kind of stupidity that makes you realize the human race is probably a mistake. These 31 people are dead not because they did anything wrong. They are dead because they wore the wrong jersey to the game.

The police are there now. They are counting the bodies. They are picking up shoes that don't have owners anymore. They are washing the blood off the walls. And what will happen next? I will tell you what happens next. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The politicians in Pakistan will get on TV. They will wear their nice suits. They will look sad. They will say big words like "tragedy" and "justice" and "unity." It is all a lie. They do not care. If they cared, they would have fixed this forty years ago. But hate is useful for them. Hate keeps people distracted. While the people are busy fighting over which version of the prayer is the right one, the leaders are busy stealing money and holding onto power. It is the oldest trick in the book.

And the rest of the world? Do not think you are any better. If this happened in London or New York, everyone would change their profile picture on social media. There would be marches. There would be crying on the news for a week. But because it is a **Pakistan blast**? Because it is just "those people" over there? You will scroll past this story in two seconds. You will look for a video of a cat or a funny dance. You don't care either.

The scary part is how easy it is. One guy. One bomb. That is all it takes to ruin hundreds of lives. The families of those 31 people are broken forever now. Their dads and brothers and sons are not coming home for dinner. And for what? For a message? What is the message? "We hate you"? We already knew that.

This bomber thought he was a hero. That is the saddest joke of all. Some old man in a cave probably told him that if he blew himself up, he would go to a special paradise. He was a sucker. He was a pawn. He died for nothing. He killed for nothing. He is just another stain on the ground in a long history of stains.

This cycle does not end. Next week, the other side might blow something up for revenge. Then the first side will do it again. Back and forth. Round and round. Like children in a playground, but with explosives. It makes you tired just thinking about it.

We pretend we are civilized. We pretend we have rules and laws. But strip it all away, and we are just angry monkeys with better weapons. We look for any reason to hurt the person standing next to us. Race, money, land, or which building they stand in on a Friday. It is all the same garbage.

So, read the headline. Shake your head. Feel bad for a second if you want. But don't expect it to stop. As long as there are leaders who profit from hate, and idiots willing to die for a lie, the bombs will keep going off. And the rest of us will just keep watching, bored and numb, waiting for our turn.
