A recent article in a newspaper found out the reason behind the short temper prevalent in people so much to the case that they are not only just giving their fellow citizens tongue lashings but also physical assault.

It is a well known fact that temper ruins more things than fixing it. But we hardly care about it. When a person is born, he often bangs into things that really irritate him and depending on the ability to hold on to the same; he sometimes ends up making things worse.

There was an article that was recently published in the newspaper that some unknown assailants stabbed a cook to death at a hotel as he had not served ‘papaad’. Another article said that a shop owner was set on fire by a man over Rs 100 phone recharge which he refused to do on credit (udhaar) which was a frequent phenomenon.

There was one more story published the other day which said that a 14 year old boy killed a nine-year-old girl for an I-pod in a West Bengal town. Besides these usual stories that have grabbed space in the newspaper, there are still many that we usually see: like people fighting on streets if they accidentally bang into other person’s vehicle trying to reach office early.

It is really hard to understand as to why people have lost their patience over a period time. What is the ultimate thing that is actually making them do things that are not only morally unacceptable but also a crime? It is really hard to find what tensions actually helps things blow up. We cannot find things going the way we want them to and in this frustration we end up banging into people coming our way. Why can’t we just keep our frustrations aside instead of gifting them to people coming our way?

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. It is really a pity that we fail to accept the common human error and instead of making things right we tend to blow them. It is like an infectious disease that is killing the very basic requirement of being a human. There is a steep decline in our social dispensation.
