Was out with 2 friends for dinner last night. Thereafter, managed to catch a movie 'The Brave One' starring Jodie Foster. The story tells of a girl, who lost her fiance to group of muggers, and how the experienced changed her life from then on. Changed her perception to life & changed her personality entirely. Learning to stand up for herself, she took matters into her own hands and tracked down the guy who was involved in the brutal murder of someone so dear to her.
Of late, we hear of many cases of murder, rape, torture even in our own homes. Even the innocent & young are not spared of this inhuman deed. What is the world coming to? What happened to all the values that were taught and instilled in us ever since young? It is sad to see that as the country develops, the caring nature of the society diminishes. Home, which was once safe for the family, is now turning its back on its own. Where else could children find peace and protection? Where else could they run to for help?
What is all this telling us? That our environment is no longer safe. It teaches us not to trust anyone. It teaches us to be selfish. It teaches us to be weary of our surroundings.
If only we could love our neighbours as ourselves, then maybe, just maybe this world can be a better place to live in.
