What the hell is wrong with the world?

“What the hell is wrong with the world” this is one phrase that’ll always be valid under all circumstances. Every single time. It has been valid for as long as I’ve lived and it’ll be valid for as long as you and I will live. Every day. Every minute. Every second. I remember watching Anjaam, the movie starring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit where tragedy after tragedy befalls the heroine and I remember being pissed at the movie for being so unpleasant and over-the-top-not-real and exploiting their exaggeration rights, I mean so much bad cannot happen. Can someone be so cruel, so twisted, so diabolic? Is it even humanly possible? I dismissed, ignored, labelled it as a bad movie and moved on with my life. I could sleep on it, thinking its just a movie, not real life. But, wow. Boy, was I wrong. The world is slapped with this reality day after day after day. We are so broken. So broken that we’re capable of inflicting and enduring so much pain and yet go on with our lives. The poor kid, all of 8 years old, had to go through so so much. It's unnerving. And a million other girls. We have failed so much, we couldn’t teach our kids. We let them grow into monsters. I cannot turn a blind eye, not this time. Yet, there’s nothing I can do about it, or about the news, I’ll hear tomorrow or the day after, every single day. I cannot do anything. We are drowning every single nanosecond as a society and not even a miracle can save us. No magic wands. No good books, no poems, no cheerful kids, no charities, no good deeds. I wish I had no brains, that I was a uni-cellular bacteria alive just for the heck of it. Candle marches and protests and burning ‘em alive is good but they did it, they thought about it and executed it. We can remove them from the face of this planet and tomorrow, a thousand others will pop up. Before teaching your kids trigonometry or the intricacies of PB Shelly's works or about a certain mineral found in a certain state, teach them to be fucking civil, too hard? Teach them about consent. About becoming a human being before a doctor or an engineer or a weatherman. You can go ahead and screw their dreams and their education but not before turning them into civil beings. Please. Respect. Don't rape. Seek consent. Fuck religion. Don't hurt-physically, mentally. That's it. That's all there is. That's our best shot as a society. Our only shot. May or may not work, too many variables, too many external factors, but worth a shot.
I’m sorry, I’ll end this hanging loose. There’s no closure. The nation didn’t get a closure. The parents will never get a closure and there’s no reason this post should get a closure. Yet another loose end, we’ll sadly learn to overlook.
