Show genuine care, love for fellow humans

WHEN the terrible news of a prostitute hit The National’s front page, a lot of supposed-saints lashed out saying she deserved it, get a job, and other unhelpful comments.
Apart from the fact that these Christians are absolute hypocrites, I have noticed there were people willing to let others die or be harmed for not following the status quo.
If you wore tight jeans and you were raped or if you stole something and the cops beat you badly, people would say you got what you deserved.
Would they continue with the same rhetoric if something similar happened to their loved ones?
I bet you they would not.
These people have a hard time seeing outside their spheres of thinking.
People who think like this fail to realise that every person is loved.
Every person is someone’s mother, father, brother, or sister.
Every one means the world to someone and it’s inhumane to assume that someone’s life does not matter just because they don’t mean anything to you.
The ones who throw stones do not understand why unfortunate people who make up the majority of the population can’t just flip a switch and change from ‘no job’ to ‘got a job.’
When they say ‘get a job’ they’re filing a glitch report with God and they think that’s all it takes.
Their minds are too rigid, even the educated.
They fail to see how hypocritical their ways are.
Most of them view social issues as universal constants that cannot be solved or changed.
This is why they blame rape victims for dressing immodestly or for drinking or going out at night.
They never consider the fact that maybe we need to make our streets safer.
Part of their mission is to punish people for doing things they do not approve of.
Their preferences are not necessarily about stopping evil but rather satisfying their desires to be right all the time.
They think that prostitution is bad to the point where not punishing prostitutes is supporting badness and raping and violently beating them is an appropriate punishment for being bad.
Our societal values are decaying.
Most Papua New Guineans have lost faith in our justice system.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
