Our Society Today!

When I came across this picture, at first, it was funny but then I had a deeper thought on it, it is indeed our society today.

A society where people watch something go wrong and all they could think of doing is "take snapshots". A Society where people are not willing to help others in trouble. A society where we want to be the first to broadcast the news, good or bad, we don't give a damn. When I saw the photo, I couldn't help but remember the incidents in the recent past, the Aluu 4, the man lynched in Warri, A girl who stole in Lagos to mention but a few, surprisingly, this doesn't happen only in Nigeria as you can see in Zombie attack in China. Taking snapshots and video shots is not the ideal thing to do in situations like this, we can help save people from pains and embarrassment. In a situation where someone has been accused of a crime, you can talk the mob into giving the person a fair hearing and even when the person is actually guilty, make them hand him/her over to the police for the law to take its cause. The person being accused could have been your sister, brother, uncle, aunt etc. Let us be our brothers' keeper. Let's help each other and also help the government to help us. 

Lets stop jungle justice! don't  take laws into your hands!!

When you find yourself in such a scene where someone is in distress and all you could do is take photographs, then you are not different from the people carrying out the act and you have consciously denied the victim a helping hand. Be a friend in need!
