Remove the R from humanity.

I wonder if there was a single day in human history, where no violence or crime happened.Being from a country with one of the highest crime rates( if it offends you then trust me truth hurts ) ,crime was as common for us as a kiss in Peris. Being sexually abused at the age of twelve, I know the feeling of getting almost raped and listening to the coldest two word pitch’ it happens’ simultaneously. I really wonder if there is a single girl in the world who hasn’t experienced a bad touch in their life. BUT WAIT! Is it only about women? Few days back one of my friends called me and talked in as straight and manly a voice as a weeping soul with swollen eyes can. Some colloquy later, He finally told me how a few days back, he got raped. You must be arching an eyebrow and thinking with a sour taste in your mouth that how can a twenty two year old man get raped, right? Here is the answer, the way a twelve year old girl does.the holy GITA( the holy book of hindus) teaches that intention defines an act more than the action itself, so you must know what i mean here. It was not the first time for my friend, the same man had abused him when he was fifteen and will not be the last for the man, you know it. Don’t you think we all have been raped in some way or the other? Some mentally, some physically and some socially, but who are we, those got raped or abused? WAIT! This question should be reframed, who are they, those who rape and abuse AND WHY? Here again be ready for the truth. They are the ones who have stabbed, crushed and burned alive their character, they have roped and raped their own soul and why they do it is simply because they have fed their demon that much that now they are no more than a piece of shit and filth. Now comes the question about who are we, who unwillingly,shockingly got raped, you know what, we are omnipresent,we can be the girl walking next to you, who has just lost her mother, we can be a boy, who has just kicked out of his house by his stepfather, we can be a woman, who has lost her first child few days back, we can be the man, who’s daughter is fighting with cancer and has no money to save her, or we can be a child who is unknown to this filth of mind and playing out there, we can be anyone, absolutely anywhere. Why am I telling you all this? Just to say STOP IT, for god sake stop it! Be human and get back to humanity, share the pain don’t create it. There is already a lot of agony in the world, just stop , be human , respect others and their feelings, be a human and reinvoke humanity in yourself because trust me you have it we all have abundant humanity in us that’s what makes us human. Please start caring and sharing and again I would say be human because the world needs this and it needs it now.
