Taliban destroyed Bamiyan’s Statue

The thing I love very much is to keep an ancient thing collected under my bag. I don’t like to destroy anything that has covered a long distance of time either in history or in some past time. But to my horror, that the big statue of Goutam Buddha in Bamiyan had been completely destroyed by the radical Talibans .The Talibans, brought up and nursed by Americans have even declared an encounter against America. In fact a statue has a special significant value in history and also in a country. But unfortunately that has been destroyed. We would not be able to create such wonder again. Though science has improved and technology also developed itself. Human beings have acquired and used them as two big weapons. With them they may be able to erect such structure again but that structure would lose its importance to the tourists as well as the history also. We value those things as ancient and antique which have covered a long way in history and have become experienced. A special kind of smell or taste is found mingled with those statues and antiques. We all feel this smell or taste and that is why we do not consider a thing historically valuable unless we get some clues or points.

The value of an old thing is far better and more important than a new one. That is why we still love the old sculptures and paintings. An old thing being very old and having covered a long distance in history creates its importance to us. We give value to its age and oldness. That thing bears a large amount of human touch, praise and has been able to make its position in the discussion as well as criticism. For all these it remains covering a large portion of human thought and creates its significance. All these reasons help to grow its importance and value. We evaluate the thing and consider it as valuable. This value is considered as historical value. One can’t achieve this value easily. It takes a long time to be acquired. And that is the reason why we value the old.
