Punishment for being a Victim...

In this world there are certain incidents were we are punished for others action. Like us being passive smokers. My nose can't stand the smell of the cigarette I cough in a instant when someone near me takes a puff. Like this there are several incidents where most of us are not responsible for the inconveniences we face. We are not the primary stakeholders for the mischievous things that happen around us but we become victims. When we step out we feel I am not responsible for this surrounding being this dirty, the potholes in the roads, the clogged drains in the streets, people starving under bridges, the traffic getting worse, long que in the government office and what not. It's an usual routine for us being a layman witnessing all this discomforts. Whatever it is we are confident it's not always us, but forgot that it's always one among us.

May be we are bit lucky, we are living in a scenario where we have water, air, food and shelter. But after some centuries I am not sure if people in future could access fresh air to breathe, clean water and healthy surrounding. With rising temperature and alarming pollutions in land, air, water and ocean our future descendants are going to be victims for our deeds. It's a vicious cycle.

I am bothered about a single puff of smoke which made me write this I wonder what air pollution people in Delhi would face where involuntarily they are forced to breathe 20 cigarette puff at a time.

For getting punishment as a victim we are going to create awful punishments for upcoming victims. Are we really victims or irresponsible tenants of this planet. I wonder….
