Is the World really safe?

Everyday we  feel good about the city we stay in thinking how safe it is from others until we hear of some heinous crime again. Mumbai has been a victim quite a number of times yet the security system isn’t like it should be. The other day I was watching Crime Patrol where it showed how a teenage kid was badly hit on the road which lead to his death on the spot. 

This city has been a victim to terrorist attacks, bomb blasts and what not. Even after so much happening I wonder what the government does and why isn’t the security system upto date. Talk about technology and the changes in the city, there’s too much but how is it helping if the city isn’t safe?

People are being killed in broad daylight and no-one does anything about it. A stupid kid like the American citizen Dharun Ravi bullys his friend to such an extent that the poor kid commits suicide and all the Judge does is give him a 30 day imprisonment punishment, is that all ?

My bro calls me up yesterday from London and tells me about how a man was stabbed to death outside his house in broad day light. 

Africa, America, London, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Australia – which place is safer? Everywhere people commit crimes, some get arrested some commit more crimes and murder more people. Can we walk  freely without the fear of being kidnapped, raped or murdered?

What has happened to the world? We talk about education, development, liberalisation , democracy then what is happening? Why after all this there is still so many crimes, rapes & murders? 

What are the people who take responsibility for their countries doing? I only keep wondering and think again Is the world we live in really safe?
