SOCIAL CANNIBALISM
SOCIAL CANNIBALISM
Being a child, whenever I heard the word cannibal, the image
of a horrible tall wild man, dancing around the fire, catching humans, slicing
them into pieces, drinking blood, laughing hysterically, came into my mind.
But now eyeing down the situation, I just wonder, was that
the real picture! Are cannibals only those eating human flesh! The answer is
no! A big big NO!
The silence of voices of those who dare speak against one to
cut down the chances of any riot or revolution, the degradation of those already down to maintain
one’s chain of the slaves, the
deprivation of the poor of the basic necessities of life by the rich to keep
them negligent of their rights, the murders of the innocent to
satisfy one’s ego, the misuse of religion declaring others non muslims to
satisfy one’s religious superiority complex, the rejection of an idea that
might supersede one’s idea not to let anyone take one’s place, misguiding
someone to save one’s own interests, isn’t it all cannibalism? When we do this,
aren’t we divesting someone of his capabilities, his vigor, his morals, his
ethics, his potentials, his ideas, his resolutions? Aren’t we excavating him
from inside? Aren’t we eating up his social existence? Aren’t we being social cannibals?
Yes we are! When it comes to that we all are cannibals! Some
big, some small, but we all try hard to be cannibals and by doing this, we have
not only destroyed the heedfulness of our countrymen but we have also destroyed
our social system! We have spiflicated the staircase that might have led
us to the top of this world and the result is!
We have become a distinguished
class of cannibals that eats up the roots of their own survival!
