COLD HEARTS



Everyday when I travel in my private car or when I am walking on the roads and when I pick up the morning local newspaper; accidents is all I find in them and so may get killed and the usual tragedy of the insensitive society being spectators, not willing to help the ones who are bleeding to death right in front of the eyes. And the writer asks who’s responsible? Who’s responsible for these deaths? Who’s responsible for these irrational drivers? Who’s responsible for the insensitive hearts of society? Who’s responsible for giving these crazy people the license to drive? My question is who gave these people the license to kill?



I see numerous accidents by two wheelers mostly bikes and from house wives to youngsters everyone getting killed. Youngsters speed there vehicles so bad, accidents are bound to happen. Many of them honk and speed up to our car bumpers and they almost hit the car in front to get ahead of them, for what I do not understand. The buses of Kerala not far behind, the number accidents in a year along the T.K road near my place is over 50 is what the newspaper said. And I want to say shame on those people who play with the lives of millions. Don’t they have the moral responsibility to take care of the people traveling in their buses?



It is sad indeed that this so called cultured society of ours, especially when we Indians at times talk so negatively about other cultures about the western culture being a bad influence on ours, don’t even have the moral responsibility to help somebody who’s fighting with their lives on the roads. Forget about moral responsibility I find people from our very on God’s Country don’t even have any professional responsibility. It’s such a pathetic situation and it’s no wonder people in other states make a mockery of our development and growth in the industrial and employment field.


If not working for the welfare of the people and the state why do we have a government? Let me ask who are responsible for the people in government? We all are, so we decide a good or bad government. More over, it’s not just few people at the capital who has civil duties. As a citizen we all have our responsibilities. Do we even remember that at least once in a year? Helping a fellow citizen during a hit and run case becomes our civil duty. To control law and order and to discipline the citizens is the job of Police, but a spirit of that policing should be in each citizen



We keralites talk about having personal hygiene as if we are at number one in that keeping even people from other states and foreigners, but we are poorer than foreigners when it comes to keeping our roads and public places clean. We end up being preachers and not doers and we are infamous for that since our ancestors. At least about these road accidents, let’s not become preachers. The power is in my hands and yours. Many at times we com across situations where we cannot make a change because it’s beyond our control. But keeping our public places clean, avoiding accidents, mercy, compassion they are under our control. Lets become citizens who carry out their civil duties as well as our moral responsibility.


That article said… its over the future of these 2 children those cars have drove by not just on the roads, those cars in which the people didn’t have the compassion to stop by help those kids bleeding father, Lets not be spectators or preachers, but doers of this world. Lest not cause any road accidents, don’t speed, don’t drink and drive. A life’s too precious to be wasted, let’s do this not just for our own families but for the families of others. Lets keep in mind, that just like how we have people waiting for us in our homes, these people who are bleeding in front of our eyes too have families waiting for them at their homes.
