WE'VE LOST HUMANITY

Just this evening as I scrolled down to read posts on social media to learn or laugh like my usual self, I came across a post that caught my attention. After uploading this image,
someone asked what kind of fish is this? I was disturbed and haunted not by the question, but by the guts behind the question.

How come he wasn't humane enough to know that he wouldn't do no better if he was in this person's shoe. Who has done this to us? And when did we lose humanity?

I was at the scene of a fatal accident some time ago, I was bewildered to see people bringing out their phones and taking pictures instead of trying to save lives. I nearly smashed a guy's phone when he was trying to obstruct people who swung into action to help the victims in the town service bus.

We live in a time when parents and guardians don't care to know how their children get to lavish money like they pluck it from trees. We read dailies on how ladies are the victims of quick money, but funny enough, consciences don't prick no more.

I remember when one person in a fifteen passenger bus would die after a ghastly accident along the high way, someone people would cry bitterly and ask God several questions, one of which was why God allowed it to happen. There was this sense of belonging, sense of familyhood, sense of oneness. But now, it's seems like we value luxuries more than human beings. When a life claiming incidence occurs, people simply ask how many people are dead to know if the number is worth their tears or sympathy.

Humanity is taken a brisk pace to damnation, and soon if steps are not retraced back to where we lost track, our choices would haunt us down, and humanity will crash.
