Tolerance or carelessness?
Price hike?
We are okay with it.
Road accident?
It didn't happen to us, so let's forget it.
Rape?
Oh, it's nothing new. The victim must have some reason to be raped.
There are thousands of other things on this list. Where do I start? Pollution, unauthorized car parking, occupying river, corruption of government authorities...All these are our daily life heists.
You would probably think that there must be many protests against all these then. You are dead wrong. As a nation, we failed on this.
There will be a possible case a minute ago and you will see people are living their life normally. No protest, nothing. It's a norm here. Oh, you will get to see some talk here and there, online activities but that's it.
We don't care, we are careless; I am careless.
I sometimes think, what pushes us to this extent. Or maybe we were always been like this. People say, the British empire and their exploitation for hundreds of years made our brains dumb and bodies numb. I don't believe that is certainly true. If you look at our history you will always find how we used to tolerate exploitation in every period.
Is this because we are not brave enough? Do we have a low IQ? Traditionally we are lazy?
There's no certain answer.
I would define our behavior more as 'insensitive' and 'stupid' than tolerance or carelessness.
On top of it, the whole society became narcissists. We are only focused on ourselves. Only we matter.
And the current political situation works as fuel in all this. Our voices are being kept shut for so long that we forget to talk.
There's no certain answer about where we are heading as a society. To be honest, I don't see many positive sides. Yes, there are so many good things happening, and our economy is progressing. But I can't ignore how people are suffering, the people living on marginal income, and so.
The situation is suffocating. World politics is changing and we just need to find a way. But seems like people who are in power are the top narcissists. And just like a decade, we will continue to ignore whatever is happening.
We will choose to be this callous, stupid, and careless until we ourselves are in danger!
Sometimes we want to scream at the top of our lungs how badly we are treated, but we are scared we could be the only one feeling that way. People are so comfortable to a point, we could walk pass a dead body on the road simply because we weren't the one who got killed.
The government, making it worst with their cruel rules of locking up anyone, who dares question them... We are not careless but just careful, we don't become the next victim
