What runs on the mind of the young?
I remember this cousin of mine. When he was some six-seven years old, I noticed if he was denied anything, he used to bring havoc on the surroundings. Crying, yelling hitting( even his mother), rolling on the floor - everything. One way or other, her mother had to yield to his demands. When his mother would be advised against spoiling her child this way, she used to take a grudge on the advisor itself. Whenever the demand was beyond the scope of his mother, he would his object of desire. He had simply chewed away many of my toys which I had refused to give him.
Twenty Years later the child has grown into a monster - 6 ft 3 and 90 KG . He is a big bully in house and outside it. He still believes in snatching things, if denied. He falls just short of official definition of a Criminal.
What beckoned me to write this post is the this incident which took place yesterday in Delhi. A young boy, all 21 years old stabbed a 15 year old girl he loved. Two months back , another jilted lover had burnt alive a girl in a class room in a Hyderabad college. It reminded me of an incident that took place in Mumbai some 20 years back. Another similar incident occurred in Sangli 5 years back when a girl was stabbed in full public view. Hundreds of incidents of jilted, denied lovers throwing acid on girls keep occurring all over India.
This sick mind develops at a very early age -mostly by parents. First they like their child's activity as fun. Their love for the child is too overwhelming to realize the setting of the rot. Whoever said love is blind couldn't be more accurate. The well wishers are despised. By the time they realize, it's already too late to stem it. As a result, we have this new breed to brats -spoilt by the parents, unleashed over the whole society.
Time is ripe that the parents take lesson from these incidents. Hapless victims are being punished for the faults committed by someone else twenty years ago. Either don't bring a child on this world, but if bring one may - don't make it a liability on innocent others.
