It’s so disappointing to see what’s happening
around us. People seen around and across the world are with emotions and
compassion dried up, another flock craving… not for food, but being too
passionate about driving towards threat, revenge and
apartheid, ready to do anything. Religious philosophies, morality on a
very well followed deep-rooted culture, principled theories and
collective mindsets learned are only in good books and then being dumped
in the dusty corners of brains of the few. Humans are acting so weird
these days. People struggle for fame, wealth, and finally to be part of a
high-class society to become so BIG. On one side of the world criminals
and law-breakers are being treated as celebrities at the end of the
day. On the other side, porn stars (prostitutes in my language) become
role models to younger generation, become synonyms for fashion and
style, and become part of a modern society. On the contrary, the
unfortunate rape victims and their families are being given up,
completely being excluded from the swaggering community, eyeless wrecked
society and the disruptive religious cluster that they belong to. The
mid page spread in newspapers and peak hours in TV channels are always
found to be dedicated for these high-class celebrities, rumours on their
personal affairs and bedroom secrets, and sadly that goes on air with
high level interest and gains maximum exposure rather than a small
column news of a sufferer or families who’d been struggling to lead a
life that obviously gets unnoticed until and unless being broadcast
along with the accompaniment of the above said celebrity or so-called
role models. What a society we’ve been living in? Reportedly the
literacy rate has been increased by 80% compared to the previous years
consecutively, and I still donno what literacy they talk about.
Knowledge is still unknown and yet to be entered into people’s mind to
realize what’s right and wrong. This is time to wake up.
There
is no tomorrow. What’s present is today. Act now, and make tomorrow a
better one.....................................................................
