What if, one day, "evils" like murder, robbery, rape, blackmail, kidnap, etc...went out of control? As in the society no longer thinks that those are something that is "wrong"...? The person standing next to you at a bus stand can just suddenly get killed by another guy just because his foot got stepped on, people will still be scared by such incidents oh yes, but only because it looks hideous. In short, what if "conscience" has been rewritten?
Are you smiling now after reading that? To an extent it is VERY exaggerated, true. But what if I say that although the imagery is far-fetched, it is not the least bit "impossible"? (Least so in my opinion) Still smiling? Allow me to explain why I'm saying this...
Ever had opinions of your own that you can't voice out? Or decisions that was made by yourself had to be changed because someone make you? I believe everyone do. But how many of those incidents happened because someone executed authority over you instead of persuasion via verbal logic exchange? Well my life is filled with lots of those, which is the reason why I took notice...
"You WILL do what I say because I am who I am and there is nothing you can do about it, except suffer the consequences of my wrath."
"When the time comes, just screw it. I can blame myself. Nevermind."
"I don't want to talk anymore, had enough. I'll do what I please."
"Everyone is doing it. So I just WANT to do it, cause I like it as well. I'm enjoying it, that's enough."
All the answers above will always end any communication I'm having. Most of the time it will result in me sulking. For me, the conversations should NOT end like this, cause it is NOT the end. Sooner or later, the society will cross the line drawn during the past. The line that we refrain from stepping over to "evil", and the line that keeps us moving namely "conscience", is drawing nearer to each other.
Will it lap over one day...?
"You WILL do what I say because I am who I am and there is nothing you can do about it, except suffer the consequences of my wrath." Authority is NOT reason.
"When the time comes, just screw it. I can blame myself. Nevermind." Running head-on into obvious trouble is stupidity, not bravery and more less a reason.
"I don't want to talk anymore, had enough. I'll do what I please." What do you mean by "enough"? Does it means "I don't want to talk about reasons anymore cause it is complicated, I'll submit to stupidity and ignorance"?
"Everyone is doing it. So I just WANT to do it, cause I like it as well. I'm enjoying it, that's enough." Selfishness
These are not right, but why is everyone still doing it?
