Politicians and administration must be held accountable for not taking actions against such crimes. All sex offenders must be registered, and their records must be made public for people to be aware of their backgrounds. The families also have an obligation to provide moral education to their children and teach them their social responsibilities. Some people may need psychotherapy, which is still a stigma in our society. But we must be open to provide support and transform the lives of people who can still use our help to stop this menace.
Shit, Flies and Honey Bees
We seem to undermine the importance of shit, which has always been used as fertilizer to grow crops, that sustain us. In the old time, the people who hauled our waste, we called them untouchables. That was wrong. It would be morally and politically incorrect to call a person untouchable today. But we have made no progress in using this discretion toward flies and animals. We eat many things on a regular basis that are wrong and unethical to consume, as they are a threat to our environment and cause suffering to animals. But we talk about ethics and morality all the time. Unlike us, flies do not kill animals, they eat waste, to keep our environment safe and pure. They have a purpose. But I understand, you are using Shit and Flies as metaphors
