What I fear the most in life
Nastiness is what I fear the most in life!!! It has the power to strip people of their dignity!!
There is a lean line of demarcation between rudeness and nastiness. Which is worse? No idea!!!!!! I feel terrorized by both!!
What makes people adapt themselves to these two as a way of life? Is it hunger for power!! Is it ignorance!!
In recent times I have noticed a vertical swell in the number of people who have their feet stuck in nastiness.
The Andhra Pradesh assembly was a witness to this (nastiness)and more on the 10th of June and that too from the Chief Minister himself. He isn’t an illiterate like some of the politicians, he is a professional doctor!!!! So what should we attribute his unprovoked nastiness to? He seemed drunk with power and instead of being civil to his political opponents; he chose to be downright nasty!!! He surely would have won more hearts if he had a firm grip on his tongue!!
A few days ago as we were busy packing and shifting to a new campus, One of my colleagues was quick to call our attention to he, holding an important post and hence having too many things to pack. He didn’t stop with that. He went on to say that I hardly had any because “ Your position, you will have that much only in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t have anything to bring along!!!” My! My! This is what we call unasked, unprovoked nastiness!! This is open nastiness but some people are very subtle. A few of them have this flair for cutting you short in the middle of conversation. They disconnect the phone saying they would catch up again and they are not to be heard for a long time after that!!!
Another incident which left me feeling speechless is the day a colleague of mine called my daughter a darky on her face!!!!!!!!!! Now what do we call these kind of remarks coming from one of your own race!! If Aussies and Canadians are abusive of us we raise a hue and cry but millions of incidents go unnoticed and there by unpunished.
Human rights commission can do nothing about the everyday violation of human dignity!!!
Where is justice!!!
