Ostracize or Embrace ?


Today, we live in a complex society.

When innocent other family members of someone suspected to have contracted an incurable sexually transmitted (STD) are castigated, ostracized and later chased away, to set their hard-earned moveable and immoveable properties on fire by lynch mobs from towns and villages are not something new to us.

Now the conditions have changed.

Instead of having someone with an incurable sexually transmittable disease among them, they have to deal with a psychopath among them who have been let loose while serving his term for brutal murders including a child.

How would the neighbour react to having to live with a notorious psychopath in the neighbourhood?

Will he be chased away with his other innocent family members too or will he be treated like a hero returning home after a war?

Now the ball is in the open court of the society and how the society would react to the scenario of having a psychopath among them will be a good gauge to determine the trajectory where the society indeed heading.

To ostracize and or to embrace is the question now.
