Sick Society


We have another school shooting again, this time it’s in primary school. Children were shoot dead at Newtown, Connecticut. This is a wake up call to a society whose values are deteriorating. We can observe our enacted laws recently are more of reactive laws instead of pro-active one. Instead of laws that promote positive values, the premise now is on the negative. Allow guns because there are many criminals. What happened with so many loose guns because there’s no regulation? Shooting here and there and the victims are children. Allow contraceptives and abortion because it has to be safe sex. Instead of promoting good values and right conduct, we condoned it by saying its okay as long as it is safe. Responsibility and accountability is not taught in this kind of mentality. Legalize some drugs because anyway we cannot control it. In the end we ended encouraging drug pushers and users. It’s an admission of failure. Legalize prostitution because it’s been an old age profession anyway. And so we ended up having so many human trafficking, pedophiles and the likes.  This is a symptom of a sick society, corrupted values education and shortsighted laws. Government and all who have stakes on this must think hard, reflect and act on something positive out of what had been happening.

A society should not give in to what is wrong instead fight it with good laws that promotes good values and right conduct in the society. We ask why God can allow these things to happen? Well in the first place we took God away already from our schools. Gunless instead of a Godless society!
