Ways of the world...

From love to dogs...and well extending it to various other thoughts...
Some of you might have heard of the mauling of a small child by a group of dogs in banglore...atleast the media people had a field day at the expense of the grieving parents...And the solution? Kill all street dogs! Not just in Banglore but wherever they can be seen.
i am a dog lover and though i was sympathetic towards the parents who lost their child i found the reaction intolerable.It is this mob reaction that has gripped us all for ages now. And somehow i feel that we are becoming more intolerant and fanatical towards everything. Patience and analysing things with a cool head is something that we hardly see.Its easy to kill the dogs..they can just yelp but dont have their own voice or that of the media to speak for them.They dont have Unions to represent them...lawyers to fight for them.Those who try to protect them are called heartless to human pain. 'What if it was your own daughter?' is the justification behind it all.
And then we see terrorism. If one muslim is proven guilty a mob starts rioting and plans to eliminate all the so called terrorist. If a hindu destroys a religious monument the muslims blame all the hindus to have been behind it all.
i was told as a child that 'As you sow so shall you reap'..and we are sowing hatred everywhere...Its not consideration but revenge that we hear everywhere..Cricketers' houses are being damaged for playing badly...but does that help?
if i dont do well in my exams will my teachers go and hit my brother because he is of the same bloodline and one should teach him a lesson for having a stupid sister like me??!!!
But do people actually see the illogical logic behind the mob attacks and mass reaction?
They dont and people forget...but i just hope that there would be a few people left with this continuing way of the world...
