In lieu of the recent events that transpired in Delhi where a girl, only in her school, was found dead, murdered or otherwise, on her way back from a school outing, has brought to light the need for an understanding of what the young ones today are looking for. There is speculation that there was a lewd MMS that was made of her and the trend of these MMS clips being uploaded is shocking. There is the matter of choice but at that age is choice merely a word that the dictionary professes exists. Is there then a black and white or is there a murky Grey that covers all that occurs with the young and the restless today.
It is the age of exploration, and anyone who tries to convince them otherwise, is what literature terms a quixotic tilt at the windmills. Truth be told, I have to date, not really sympathized with the metaphor I used for the turmoil that every individual undergoes in their late teens, but it is a gargantuan waste of time for any individual to counsel a child at that stage of their lives about companionship, sex, right and wrong! However, can we influence the choices that they make? Can society play it’s part in ensuring such incidents do not reoccur? My take. Yes! Though whether it will occur is as one turbaned individual who professes his love for cricket as Brad did for Jen a second before Jolie called on the secret BradJolie phone would say, umm … Sorry Sidhuisms were never my forte! It would be fair to say that in the year 3020, if earth still exists, and if Humans have not become extinct due to the lack of oxygen, or the ozone or commodes that can wash themselves clean, India would still be governed by a aged set of ethics that are as two faced as Two Face himself. Batman unfortunately is a comic book character and though I have at times looked upon him as a career option, there are specific economical requirements that I do not fulfill for the application.
As a society,
Who do we blame then? The non-existent lord of the nether worlds? The Society that has a chameleon fabric? Rather than pass the baton, look in the mirror! That’s the reason for it all. Now go and find abode in the non-existent lord of the Nether worlds!
