This morning started off fine, I was highly motivated and feeling optimistic about the day ahead of me. That however, did not last long. Two hours into my work I get a disturbing sms from VC through her friend's handphone informing me she had been a victim of a snatch thief. When I phoned, her friend Haris told me she was in the process of making a police report and she suffered some minor injuries. Still, I am very worried about her condition now. My senior has allowed me to leave work earlier today to see how VC is doing later today.
As we walk further into time, and advancing in terms of technology and standard of living we are supposed to have a better life and improved social standards. Why are criminal rates increasing, and why would people come down to commiting such crimes. Does their conscience not feel any guilt for hurting an innocent person? Have they ever thought how it would feel if it were them who became the victim of a snatch thief?
Not only snatch thief cases but even crimes like burglary and rape have been increasing, not forgetting that the statistics only show the reported cases. What about the UNreported cases? My question now - are we truly advancing in terms of quality of living? If so, why are we still facing problems trying to control crime rates like what VC went through today? Are the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer? Hence the poor are turning to criminal acts to make ends meat? Are we even living in a safe place anymore? I feel scared for myself and my loved ones. In addition to that, I trully feel a vast amount of hate for these criminals, and that they have no idea that someday.... someday what they have done will eventually bring about a punishment worthy upon their criminal deeds. There is no room for compassion and pity in me for such people, who live on the suffering, hurt and inconvenience of others.
Clearly, we are facing a time of social degradation among our society, or maybe globally.
