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!
