Family disaster

A family drama happened in the street of Braintree, Essex. A mother (Christine) and one of her daughters (Shania) were shot in their house. Her other daughter could escape by jumping out of a window on the second floor and run as fast as she could to her dad who happened to be a neighbor. Once she arrived at her dads home she shouted : “ He is there at the house with a gun”. Obviously, she means her stepfather and the biological father of Shania. The police did not yet exposed who shot Christine and Shania they were only willing to say that they found two bodies (Christine and Shania) and that a man with an injury of gunshots was found and brought to the hospital. Locals say that the police were aware of the problems Christine and her boyfriend (locally called David Oakes) had and that they could have prevent this.

I should have been shocked when I read this nevertheless, I felt sorry for them. When I started to reflect on this I could not help but think how normal “a murder, committing a crime” got for us. I wondered if we are getting hard less or that we are just adapting to the society  we currently live in? If we are just adapting to the society we live in is it then not time to start thinking if this society is wrong? Yes, we should start to think that something is going on and that it is not right. We should try to change this society and not adept to it because ( I know) it is easier to walk along!  I also know that right now you all think of the same question “How can we change this society”? well, that is a good question! Unfortunately, I cannot answer this however I can say that this is a question we should all seek the answer for.
