Intellectually challenged

Two days back, when I was browsing the interwebs, I came across this particular article in a news website. The article was about the statement given by the Nirbhaya rapist. For those who have been living under a rock, Nirbhaya is a figurative name given to a woman who was the victim of a brutal gang-rape in Delhi a few years back. The boorish rapist made a statement recently which proved that some people are stupid and they don't deserve to live. He claimed that he raped the woman because she was asking for it. He blamed her for staying out in the night. After reading these disgusting claims, I was troubled to find out that after many years in prison, he has not changed his mentality. He certainly needs some psychological help if not someone to counsel him with what is right and wrong. He is not the only stupid person in the country, there are thousands of utterly disgusting men in this country who have lost control of themselves.

Recently, an instance of stupidity, the Indian government has banned a new BBC documentary called "India's daughter" fearing a global defamation conspiracy. It is a documentary about this nirbhaya incident which shows what exactly happened on 16th december 2012 and there is a revelation of the victim's name. The government is concealing the truth by banning a doumentary which is supposed to communicate to people as to what happened and how to prevent it.

Another incident which made me lose my faith in humanity is that a certain person who claimed himself as the "messenger of god" had four hundred followers who cut their testicles because he claims that it is the only way to get closer to god. This is utterly disturbing because how can people be so foolish to go to that extent? Is it ignorance or stupidity? Sometimes, both words come hand in hand and they relate to each other.

This world is filled with stupid people. In a more professional way, I can name them 'Intellectually challenged'. They have lost their direction in life and lost control of themselves. People slitting wrists over love, hanging themselves over something trivial and unnecessary fights. These are some stupid things done by intellectually challenged. This category of people drag the society down. People working for the greater good of humanity are hindered.

For my readers, this post is a reflection of my thoughts, some things which have been disturbing my mind lately. I would be glad if you write your thoughts about these issues below because another perspective is always helpful.
