The morning news - the first article I clicked, an action I sincerely regret now, was on an accident in Pune, the city I live in. I was stunned into shock by the news – people stood around clicking photographs of the poor hapless person while he lay bleeding on the street. Not one person came forward to help. God Bless the only decent man there, a dentist, who came forward to help, and assisted in taking the injured person to the nearest hospital. Just think – people standing around, clicking photographs while a hapless and helpless person lies on the road, bleeding!
PUNE: A 25-year-old software
engineer, who was bleeding severely after being knocked down by a hit-and-run
accident, died because he did not get timely help from passersby at
Indrayaninagar corner in Bhosari on Wednesday evening. Shockingly, the
onlookers chose to shoot videos and click photos of the accident rather than
take the engineer, {Name Deleted}, to hospital. - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/techie-lies-bleeding-on-pune-road-passersby-click-photos/articleshow/59692374.cms
What do I say to this display of inhuman brutality
and idiotic insensitivity? I feel sick, feel like puking at the very thought of
clicking photos of a man in dire need of medical help? What kind of sickening
mental depravity of the worst order, what kind of sick insane bastard would do
that? What kind of mad and equally cruel idiot would stand clicking photographs
while a man died on the road? All who did this - you call yourself humans? Even
ANIMALS have a greater sense of what is right and wrong. At this point, I am
feeling ashamed to be a part of the human race!
What is so damned attractive of an injured man lying
bleeding on the road? What is it that makes it a memorable event? Are we so blinded
by the attraction of likes on social media that it eclipses our basic human
instincts – instincts which make us human in the first place? Why this
sickening, horrible and nauseating habit of clicking photographs of a dying man?
What will you get out of it? A few damned likes on Social Media? Is it that
bloody important?
If it isn’t likes on Social Media, what other reason
can you find? If it isn’t likes, then what is it – is it that you are getting
satisfaction out of it? Because if that is the case, my don’t-call-yourself-my-friend,
you need to check into a psychiatric ward and get treatment. Blunt, Frank and
Straight. Human misery – if that gives you satisfaction – then you are mad,
period. And evil. The only possible
recourse in such a situation is to leave to place immediately if you do not
want to or for some reason cant do anything; or – at the very least you can and
should try and collect like-minded people to get them to help; Not stand around clicking gory photographs
and videos, something emblematic of a society and a person in terminal decline,
a sign of a mentally sick man or woman!
If it isn’t either of the above- then what is the
curious fascination some people have for such unfortunate scenes? Why are they
drawn, and yet stand gawking like morons at the scene? Ok – it isn’t about
likes, and it isn’t about a sick fascination. What else can it be? Why do we see regular scenes of half-wits
standing around gawking and staring at scenes of mishaps everywhere around us? In
every city I have lived in or travelled to in India, I can see this sick scene,
when people are attracted like flies to a fire – to scenes of distress and
destruction, and yet doing nothing, Just staring blankly as though they were
watching a stupendous and mind-blowing performance on Theatre or Cinema!.
As a matter of fact, this actually proves that
Animals are superior to what has now become of the Human Race. We call
ourselves the pinnacle of evolution; to all those who subscribe to this wholly
inaccurate belief, look around how animals also help each other. Compassion is
an integral part of being Human – and these displays of evil insensitivity just
make us all that little bit more inhuman with each passing day. This is an
all-too-regular happening on our roads – I have written regarding this earlier
as well. As a Human Being, today I ask for forgiveness from the family of the
deceased, and from God… Please forgive us…
