The latest news about the brutal killing of a girl (Neethu) by her lover (Nitheesh) at Chyiyyarathu in Thissur is that the duo had been in intense love for the past three years.
The above incident of the lover developing grudge towards his partner, stabbing her, dousing her with petrol and setting her on flames appears to be imaginary incidents for the ordinary people. Such cruel killings show that the fast pace at which a romantic mind turns into Satanic mind.
It was barely a month ago that a woman was stabbed, doused with petrol and burnt in the broad day light in Thiruvalla.
She succumbed to burns after battling for life in hospital for eight days.
A man using barbaric method to kill his lover if the love fails was very rare in olden days. Stories were only heard about a jilted lover running away from home or as the last option ending his life in a piece of rope.
If the persons involved in the love affair are wise and educated, they will tryget adjusted to reality. The present generation are people who think differently, the reason why they have no qualms while committing such heinous crimes.
In the Thrissur crime, the 27 year old accused is educated and one with a decent job.
His family background is also good. Despite having all these credentials, the love failure made him a devil. He took revenge for rejecting love by killing the girl. This shows how far dangerous the new generation’s mental state has reached.
This youth is only a representative of those people who are ready to do anything if they fail to get the thing they earn for. Those who live isolated in society and with an introvert character are mostly people who would be lacking the ability to face life’s reality.
Such incidents reminds us that a generation of mentally sick people are growing up, though such incidents are isolated in the State.
Kerala is fast growing into a state with society dominated by children who are turning strangers to their own homes. While giving good education and best possible living standard to their children, the parents should also take special care to develop a healthy mental state in their children.
