With the rising incidents in schools with time, whom do you think is actually responsible!

Of the many frequent News which I keep reading about some or other mishappenings in schools, the one today was from my own native city, Lucknow. For the ones who do not know about it; it said that in one of the schools in the city an incident was reported where a 6^th standard girl, stabbed another girl from the 1^st standard who thankfully survived but with multiple injuries. The discussions which I heard and read on the radio, on the social media etc were all about, whom do you think is actually responsible for such incidents? People did talk about the need for understanding a child’s psychology, parenting, to an extent about the school’s and so on and so forth! Though In my own opinion the cause of any such and every such incident is “ALL of us”, you, me and everyone else!

And why so? Let’s try taking it in a simple way; we have come a very long way in a very short time. The 1998 and 2018 has a difference of just 20 years, but we have covered a vast distance! From waiting for phone calls then, we get impatient for people to even receive our calls now;  from striving hard to get an answer then, we are happy to Google and learn it the halfway and easy way now; from shying a little, inhibiting ourselves a little and thinking a little before we did and said anything then, we come across as bold and loud, carefree and without any inhibitions now! Very obviously more than the technologically advanced I would rather say, that we are living in a world where we firmly believe that everything is possible, and where we can neither hear nor accept a NO for anything!

“Rejected me for job, how? I will prove them wrong”; “You think I have a bad voice, look out for how many social media likes I will get!”

We know that there is a way out for everything and we all are in a blind rat race to prove ourselves, and No we just can’t live with any inhibitions this is the 21^st century! We can wear what we want to, we can say what we want to, and we can troll and comment and reach out to the most famous people in this world as well!

Proud of living in a world like this? Then know my dear reader that the extreme of living without any inhibitions is abusing whom you want to, torturing whom you want to and stabbing whom you want to! Why are you so surprised at the incidents that you read about in the newspapers my reader when this is the world that you have created for yourself!

If living without inhibitions is what you accept, then you have no right to comment about the inhibition on the right and the wrong things. It’s either knowing that you have to learn to hold yourself back in certain things, accept the criticism and know that you can also be wrong or going ahead in shameless way! There is no midway in the type of scenario where we are living in. The news which you read every day is not about someone's child, some school, some management or some culture it’s a reflection of your own self!

Remember even the best of cars come with gears, we certainly have to go a little back in time, I think we have come way too ahead!
