Everyone, especially the regular vloggers, youtubers and podcasters, and hence their regular readers/subscribers, each one of them, is talking about the cruel murder, which is a terrible shame, rightfully leading to a resignation.
Why such cruelty? Apparently, there seem to be all sorts of reasons such as political clout of a certain inclination, caste rivalry, monetary demands, gangsterism, and so on.
Personally though, I think that basically most people have become brutal, have turned non-normal, have got desensitised. Harassing somebody is 'time pass', a fun game leading to huge enjoyment, for most people these days. Targetting a person, the better he/she is than you especially, and even in general, is a regular pastime. Whatever happened at Massajog is just an inevitable extension of such sick mentality of the "wat laga di" variety.
Let me give a few examples to prove that the societal mindset is thus degraded. In the so-called intellectual circles, for example, a person, who can grant you even the smallest, the tiniest favour, is always right. The bootlickers know perfectly very well that their lady "aka" ( a favourite term these days), what is lady-like about her though cannot be found even under a mighty microscope, is absolutely mean, a nasty power-monger allied to a political leader with a history of everything questionable.
Believe me, even such career politicians would blush if the activities of the 'great' souls in academics and/or creative/intellectual circles were to be equally well-known. But boot-licking continues unashamedly! Try uttering a sentence against their pet peeves, and the entire mafia is out with verbal knives which are worse than the actual weapons. Their Trump behaviour, equally lacking in subtlety, is indeed worth a watch.
Yet another tiresome entity is the so-called rejected lover. If an adult man, if he can indeed be so called, has anything approaching heart, would he gossip about his 'love' from the rooftop to the whole world? Most interestingly, you would have never ever seen the creep with the woman in question.
He would have never moved his small toe an inch to help her, while dishing out great help to absolute meanies because they helped him in covering up his ugly life and horrible escapades. In fact, such a cad is up to horrible character assassination of the hapless victim so that his ugly family life gets covered up. To hide the very many skeletons at home, he releases all sorts of ridiculous canards.
Similarly, let a relative manage for you a job you absolutely do not deserve, and, voilà, you are his lifetime bounden slave, a vassal ready to murder metaphorically, of course, because you would not even have that much brain otherwise.
Constant competition, jealousy, meanness, viciousness, hatred, ganging up in a creepy way, spreading sick, silly rumours, neighing a mocking smirk, meaningless taunting, the cheap list is endless. Sure, these are 'mean', in both senses of the term, tendencies. Currently, however, the cheap chorus is at a cruel crescendo. For a cup of tea and a vada-pav, an entire army of fools can harass an absolutely innocent victim.
Kindness, goodness, gentleness, decency, honesty, integrity are noteworthy currently because of their minimal most presence! People think that mocking, jeering, deceiving, lying do the trick!! Well, there IS justice in this vast Universe!!!
Pratima@In Orwell's "1984", there is a precise, distilled image of all such inhumanity, a heavy boot forever crushing a face! Sick, barbaric brutality cannot have a better image.
