The recent incidents of violent mobs lynching youths caught in criminal offense has put me to think that 'is this humanity?' Agreed that the incidents were not of mere peccadillos but some serious offense but the ways the miscreants were treated questioned our humanity and morality.To my utter surprise the caretakers of the law were found accomplice in the henious acts.
What is the reason for this barbarism???Why is it happening so often that an unruly mob is running amok...taking laws in their hands...not waiting for any system of laws to provide justice.
Has the so called system of judiciary lost its charm in the rigmaroles of formalites???Have people lost their faith on the system of laws which has compelled them to
act in such violent way??
Or is it that we have become so mechanical these days that the we have lost the very trait of
our nature i.e humanity???
Perhaps it is both the reasons but the latter one can pose serious thretas to our existence.
In John Cameroonn's Terminator,Arnold Schwazeneggar playing the title role once said that 'I can never understand why you humans cry and how do you feel the pain.'
Are we in the process of turning into such fleshy terminators for whom the feeling of
empathy,love,sympathy doent exist at all.If it continues this way its not late that we would
become 'humanity less human terminators and the world will be be a battlefield.' The abstract nouns like peace,love,kindness,care,empathy would lose it meanings and would
gradually be removed from the dictionary.
An age old adage says that 'HUMANITY IS NOT HEREDETARY.TO IMBIBE THIS TRAIT ONE HAS TO CULTURE IT.'
So true.we have stopped culturing humanity and so we are on the verge of becoming 'humanity less humans'.
Think about it or such savage incidents will follow.
