"Who did, how did, why did, where did, really did or didn't, consensual or provoked or whatever hell had broken out loose we will never know the exact truth no matter what the media, police or court says, we will never know so to say the TRUTH. But in this is a lesson for this generation... don't take the freedom accorded to you for granted, don't get high if you can't handle it, don't be 'cool' if you can't hack it... no one is perfect you just have to strive towards perfection... be conscious of your actions cause one little misadventure can ruin you and the life of others you love..."
Without making any moral judgements and keeping in the mind the maxim " to err is human " I strongly believe in the comment I made on a blog post I read recently about the TISS Rape Case which kinda reflected on the growing discontent about how the TRP driven media handles such sensitives issues like rape and murder. Well you can shout from the roof tops and give sermons in many a blogs about media sensationalism while trying to de-rationalize it in the context of materialism but ultimately its just human nature to make the most out of other people's misery... that's what our iconic TV reality shows are doing these days... So why blame the media when the devil resides in us, the consumers of commercially driven reality...
So also view this rape case as one more reality show only difference being this is unscripted, raw and unglamorous, you really do not want to participate in it as the neither the victim nor as the criminal but you will surely follow it as religiously as you would follow Rodies 6.0...
And while blaming the media have you ever considered the possibility that prevention is better than cure... I'm sure most of us are and will always remain unaware of what transpired between those individuals that night, so without making any moral judgements lets say that if those individuals had considered the consequences of their actions, its implications on themselves, their families, friends... had they even held back and thought about all the rights and wrongs taught in school and at home... had they drawn the line between fun and crime things would have turn out much different that what they are today.
You may have been saints in the good old days, but this world is a very unforgiving place, one mistake can erase 10000 deeds of kindness and 10000 more deeds of kindness cannot undo or reverse a single offense. Less said more done, your life finally is in your hands and in your moral distinctions - the choices you make... There is right, there is wrong and there's the chance to choose between them. After all, you are the boss!
