Progress

There's been a whole wave of online furore over how governments deal with situations, the media reports things and stuff, from rape in India or the States to how our own government deals with dissidents, foreign and local.

It's appalling to know that even when it seems like society has advanced and we're more transparent in dealings and we are all working together for the common good, things like these are still common, and you wonder whether the authorities have a conscience at all, saying these things without batting an eyelid.

 But I'm very glad these things are being spread online, that we're hearing about them. It shows we're more informed and discerning, that we aren't going to take what the authorities or media say at face value. That society is, in a way, progressing, from the ground up. I'm very glad, in fact.
