We call it paradise..

They call it paradise, I don't know why.

Recent times have witnessed events that send the nerve-endings of the body stretching in nociception. The fate of Tutsi women in Rwanda Genocide, the Bosnian women during the Bosnian war, the Rape of Nanking, the treatment to women in the name of religion in 2002 Gujarat riots, the acts sadistic army men in Northern-most regions of India, the condition of Haryana, and the urban-most cities of India - a nation where such incidences occur every 22 minutes - these all converge to the reality. One, the general deterioration of humanity. Two, our indifference. Three, denial. 

Shame misses by many levels. And we go on with our arguments - Whatever come may, Jai Hind. Indian army, RESPECT. I'm a Hindu and my religion is superior to yours. And by the way, what those men did was needed. Those among Africans are savagic tribals. Civil War, it's ultimately for the better. War prisoners? Come on, be practical, they are a nation that has lost.

And since I talk about all this, you'll say either this is my heresy or I'm an idealist or perhaps a degenerate A-hole to be talking against my own? 

No, not animals. Animals have much more respect and dignity. We just testify the culprits' psychology - the domination. We are as responsible as any other.

Very convenient, the silence and ignorance? There was a hope that we shall one day know better. That we deserve a chance. The little good that is left in the world will eventually lose the battle - the struggle to survive. Before that happens I hope we as a race stop justifying our deservedness. This is what we have come to in time. Entropy, the level of disorder will only increase. Today we will shamefully accept another example of decline of humanity. Humanity is just a word. Adding to the entropy, we'll hold certain sects and authorities of the society responsible, based on our convenience. Convenience, the exact mechanism as to why we LIE. And lies, they form the foundation of this model we've created.

Our false paradise.
