Where are we Heading to? What have we Become?

Sometimes when I move on with my life, many questions come to my mind. Hearing the news that I have never thought would be heard in this land, seeing the things that I have never thought would happen here, many weird things happening, many shocking news that are heart breaking in the small peaceful land. 

This is Buddhist land and we all are considered religious. We believe in cause and effects and life after death. In olden days, people have fought to restore peace, to unite and to maintain sovereignty. Once this land was unified by our great leaders, a blissful place was then handed over to our generation. In this 21st century, may be due to modernization and with introduction of so many technologies that connected different people in various parts of the world, we people, I am very sorry to say this, but have become more like barbarians or hooligans. 

Recently in the newspaper issue, I think it was on 25th July, 2014, it has covered the news of father raping a minor daughter, teacher harassing a minor student, brother in-law harassing minor sister in-law and many more. I was ashamed to read it for myself. I couldn't describe the feelings that I was going through reading the news, also the epidemic of pornographic clips within the people recently. The news of stabbing one another, gang fights, robberies, vandalism of religious monuments, children going against parents, losing respects and manners, confronting teachers, tattooing all over, spiky hairs, where are the values that we have been valuing a lot since our forefathers? Sometimes I feel we human beings are not being Human. No one could have dreamed of this land going through this trauma.

It is really disheartening to visualize all these happenings in the society with my own eyes. Trying to father a child when we even don't know the duties behind being one. Just to quench the lust, people these days, can do anything. The only safer place to live with, in this world is with our beloved parents. If even the parents are involved in this blunder, where else can a minor turn to, for safety, support and guidance? This behavior is no better than an animal! The other thing is filming of pornographic clips and being distributed by many. At first, we should not film such clips, be it consensual or non-consensual. Secondly even if we know of such clips, we should not view or encourage others to view it and thirdly, let it end with us, do not form the channel through which such clips are transferred, delete it and be a responsible citizens. We live in a small place and we all are like a family. We cannot stab someone, we cannot rob ourselves. This is a small place and we can't afford someone threatening others. We have been living happily and lets continue. We are still developing and it is better, if we do not act, like the ones in the developed countries. Let us be who we are. We all know we are human beings, so being human is very important. We have to ask ourselves, where are we heading to? What have we become? Its good to change with time but be the good change.
