These Beasts are our Children.

When it becomes a everyday affair it becomes routine. The rapes, murder and the blatant disregard for a woman's life. It is a every day affair, nobody cares a damn but the moment a group of men use expletives against people who were perfectly fine about it there is hell an uproar.
Why the hell do you blame the government only ? you are sick in your head. India has a rich culture of diverse literature which was never hauled up in moral court before.
Why is it happening now. Is our education system failing ? are our children not brought up to think for themselves to appreciate the existence of a plethora of creative expression. Are we bringing up opinionated idiots who in this day and age of shortcuts dont want to invest in expanding their understanding of this universe and are satiated with being told " what the nation wants to know " at 9p.m every night and that becomes their opinion. Or they tag the line of the next trending opinion left or right doesnt matter.
When a nation stops thinking and tows the line being preached without individual thought that is when we know that hell is just a few miles away.
Hitler was able to do what he did because the people towed his line without a independent thought. In this day and age when the worlds knowledge is at your finger tips we are so engrossed in that virtual candy on your phone that we are not able to find ten minutes to read the newspaper.
Knowledge makes us human without the philosophy of elevated thought without the foundation of intellectual hunger  we are nothing but animals. A fact which is emphasized daily when men haul and tear apart a human being to satiate their basic needs.
