It was only today in the morning when I came across a video on my social media newsfeed. The video was a social experiment on bullying where a boy was being bullied by other kids of his age and people in the cafe sat there and just looked as if it was a show. Whereas when they got ruined burgers, they spoke up. Only about 7 people did have the courage to stand for the boy being bullied.
This is probably what the world has come to. We are more concerned about our ruined burgers than a child being bullied in public. We’re so concerned with our economic condition and other things that we tend to ignore the problems kids go through every day. Why? Because their problems aren’t “big enough”
