Lessons not learnt

One after the other, innocents are falling victim to those who care not about the basic human values. Those who forget that they are human when lust and desire consumes them are openly harassing and violating the basic human rights. Be it honor killing or rape or murder, be it battered baby or dowry death, be it cruelty or public shooting, be it arson or just economic shutdown. Peope are using their physical power to overpower those whom they feel are weak and alone. It is time that the lesson is learnt that all are equal as human beings otherwise just punishing a few and leaving others, cases of selective justice are not going to cure the rising cases of crime.
The lesson of love and equality needs to be learnt otherwise this world will not remain a place to live in. Unless and until, every single individual learns to treat the other as his equal irrespective of sex, caste, class, religion, place of birth or race, it is not possible to curb the crimes that are rampant in the society. It is useless to shout slogans unless one strives to change his own heart. It is a lesson to be learnt or else nothing will remain.
