It's been a few days,since things turned ugly with the brutal gang rape at Delhi..
Yet,I feel weird writing that down,for things have turned ugly decades ago.It just becomes too obvious and unavoidable,with time.
Being a part time pessimist,I must admit,I'm surprised that people are still protesting..That the incident has not just been shoved under the table,with the old newspapers.
And they might just hang the rapists,and pass a severe law against rape.Sure,it might help.
But the very prospect of all the monsters out there,is still scary,you know.I mean,what assurance do we get that these brain sickly people will change their mindsets,with the mere passing of a law or the screams and candle-light marches?
Sure,it helps to have black dots for the sake of showing support toward the victim,but why does no one ask the right questions? why does no one talk about how the fellow citizens din't help the naked,bleeding victim on the street...because they din't want to get into the sticky mess with the law inflicting bodies?
And of course,the police,"they were no better.They just let them lay there,naked and dying too.
Who knows,she might have just survived?
Why does nobody see the fault of the education system here too...Education is what makes us civilized,doesn't it? So,why,is it only about the grades and not about the moral values?!
Why don't they aim at making us better people,instead of ones just capable of making their own living.
I know,I sound a bit too sentimental when I say this,but look at it this way.If the education system aimed at making us decent,dignified human beings...there would be no need for rape.or for any form of violence.
You might say I'm a Romantic,and I'm hoping for too much.
But we do need to find solutions.And rape is not so much about the sex,as the violence.The rapists,have grown up with the belief that it is perfectly all right to inflict violence.
The saddest thing among all the chaos,is that the rape doesn't leave a lot of us particularly surprised.
We are,almost,getting used to the kind of news.
I want things to be better,and for mindsets to change.I want to be able to see,men instead of monsters.
Creating this,will take very long,But yet,like the faint flicker of a candle on a stormy,dark night..there is Hope.
Someday.
