A week ago, I witnessed an incident that left an awful taste in my mouth. I was at a petrol pump near the city tower. While I was waiting in my car, I saw a man chasing after this younger guy, a non-local. At first, I thought they were just goofing around. But when I looked back, my jaw literally snapped and fell to the ground. To my horror, I watched the man nail the guy to the ground and punch him in the face. I couldn’t watch. Few seconds later, my mom who was sitting at the back informed me that the guy had managed to escape. Thank God, I thought.
Moral of the story: Thou shall not raise your hands to rearrange someone’s face.
If I may, I have three things to say to all the self-proclaimed superheroes out there.
First, regardless of the problem at hand, letting your fists do the talking is NOT OK. Use your mouth instead. If you were assaulted, then clearly, you have every right to defend but under normal circumstances, verbal communication is the way to go.
Second, the last time I checked, violence is still not cool. And it never will be. Please don’t take the law into your own hands. Only villains do that.
Third, overpowering someone weaker than you is the most uncool thing, ever. While I applaud your skill of throwing punches with lightning speed, let’s not get carried away, shall we? Let’s use our hands for productive purposes.
Let us try to act a bit more civilized so we can all live happily ever after. That is all.
