And so the world watched him...Passing by


"The world's just a view,
And indeed your thoughts were very few."

If the action was committed online, then even the reaction should be. So here I voice.
"Where is the humanity?" Humanity's you not broadcasting and sensitialising such eye openers to the general public. Humanity's you not making it a stage to debate on in public. 
First thing one does getting up in the morning and opening the newspaper is seeing such news. It might be gathering a lot of TRP and as greed makes man commit even murder, publicising it is not that unhumaitarian. Agree? 
A child's brain is not self-made. It is built from his senses which just percieve. What's good and what's not is also not self-conditioned. It's taught. If not parents then peers. If not peers then "the virtual world" (as it used to be called in the bygone times). But when the same virtual world tries to show things that have a connection to the real world in pessimistic ways then the theory of good and not good doesn't hold true. Is it the fault of the child, or the parent's nurturing or the peer pressure? Maybe something else.
A nine-year old jumped off the roof in an act to imitate his last movie watched "Krissh". Was it a suicide? No, it was an accident. And why? Because he had no mental pressures, and it was just a motivation he gained by watching his favourite character doing that on the screen. So who's at fault here? Just in the first go, all fingers are raised on the child's parents. They should have taught him. But think. What all can parents teach you when your reach supercedes theirs. Today even a nine-year old has greater knowledge about the latest in the glamour world, or to quote the latest in adult stuff. Parents keep thinking that its not the right time to tell their wards about the sexual maturity and all but they are ignorant of the fact that the child has other sources at hand, with far more information than them too. 
In such a case, the other sources need to be the guiding light of the child. They need to be more vigilant and strict when it comes to access of information. Today I could get this video easily on youtube without any authorisation that yes I'm capable enough to watch it. There's needed a strict set of guidelines for allowing such videos to go public. 
As for this particular case, what was going behind the guy's mind is beyond anyone's thinking tank and so one must not try too. But yes, one observation. He was very insecure and suffering from high inferiority complex for the fact that he was extremely active online which simply implies zero real world interaction and a very high scope of self-satisfaction which is the root cause of frequent mood swings. Online world is compact and content. And it's the easiest way to escape from the real world. One can't live in two worlds at a time so often one chooses the former one. But just some lines for the viewers who even motivated the guy to choose that path in the clip.
          
Happiness in "this world" is too temporary.
Your friends in here might be a thousand,
But the real emotions are surely not too many.

  2. You have made this point because it comes from your heart. But stop and think - with access to the internet, is it possible to filter such vast amount of data to protect someone who has the knowledge and the urge to access it? I am not saying that what you said is wrong. But what I have to say is that there needs to be some other way to control human emotions. If you look around, you will notice that human nature is evolving fast and very soon the line between good and bad will fade.
