Don't Victimize the Victims

Don't Victimize the Victims

Yesterday, one mother send her only child with a known person for a walk. Child ate lot of chocolate, came home and his shirt, pant, face were fully coated with chocolate.
Mother asked him, “Who gave you so many chocolates?”
Child, “Uncle”.
Mother called that boy who was also just 15-16 years old and scolded him for giving so many chocolates to her child. Then she scolded her child as well.
Looking at situation the child’s other parent i.e. his father jumped in and said, “You only send him with that boy now you are scolding that child, what is his fault? Why are you victimizing a victim?”……So both looked at each other and then they realized their mistake as they raised their voices before their child and kept mum for a while and they decided not do such things again.
The crux is like this. It has been observed time and again that Victims are always made scapegoat, escape-sheep, escape-route by lot of parties in the world showing their in-competence to deal with such situations.
One of my seniors told me one story, which is very apt over here.
“One day, one office-boy took unwanted stuff with him to his boss which was in turn handed over by his boss and in the middle one more added some unwanted stuff into it. Thus, office-boy had little knowledge about the content.
However, at the end of the day he was made scapegoat for carrying unwanted stuff.
Thus, this world always searches for such simpleton/ sheepish people as scapegoat to correct their own work… or ….for correcting their un-correct work”.
I thank/ed him for this story.
Hence, my own request to this world is, “Just don’t victimize the victims-the innocent people, who already are suffering in their own life/lives”.
