WHEN DECENCY DISAPPEARS



“There was good and evil, we chose both” depicts exactly what pertains in society.
On the other hand, looking at modern times, it is evident that we have dwelled so much on the latter, making perversion set in.
Corruption has reared its ugly head in society. The poor are constantly trodden upon by the rich. Government officials take no chance at enriching themselves. Some of our young ladies allow themselves to be exploited and robbed of all feminine pride. Dressing is redefined to mean near-nudity all in the name of fashion. All values are thrown to the dogs!
Should we always point accusing fingers at Western culture and its impacts on our lives when we have living consciences? Are our perspectives and beliefs meant to unanimously create socially corrupt people who have no choice than to go along with the dictates of the societies that created them?
We are all being swept along by the wind of technological advancement, bringing in its trail sophisticated crimes. Traditional values that add richness and splendour to our lives are traded for artificial intelligence thus creating the platform for hazards that have now become indelible in our everyday lives.
It is undeniably true that positive changes bring comfort and fulfilment but should decency be hanged all in the name of change?
We have experienced evil, we are still experiencing it but in the near future, will we ever like to experience it again? It is high time we chose good.
