We gaze transiently at a headline such as ’32 killed as bus driven by 16-’year-old conductor plunges into river’. And the mood is made more sullen by sundry other items from here and there that add to society’s daily burden of crime. Each person in the world has a unique life and a special role to play in this magnum-opus that is the never ending global human drama. Every young lady who loses her husband to needless violence knows a level of pain which the rest of us cannot imagine. It’s time to value more the lives of fellow citizens and ensure that we don’t lose human beings whom we should still rightfully have in our midst.
