where are we going

yesterday i got in to work and my assistant told me that one of our porters was coming to work, he had just recently gotten a new bike, he was taking jail road to get in to work and at the signal this guy came, threw him off his bike, took the bike, shot him and left.

the porter died on the spot.

all i was thinking was wtf?

we are having a cricket tournament at work between departments. so one of the senior managers e-mailed and said maybe we should not have a match today because of the death of one of our employees, who was part of the family.

no one replied and the match went on as per schedule.

my entire department did not go to even watch the match or practice that day. we all quietly went home.

it just left me wondering though, have we become so insensitive that now loss of a life doesn’t even make our heart skip a beat anymore?
