My grandfather often used this phrase ‘Torr de Babel’ or tower of Babel. Most of us know what it is. Today some of us are standing on the tower of babel and we do not know what we say and what we mean by that. It started first with attack on Mother Theresa. That person had not seen the Mother and her works or was jealous of her following and publicity (God gave that following and publicity). Then came an attack on the striking girls that they would not get a groom. And then attack on convent education.
The other day I was going to meet an advocate in his office at Mapucs just near the court and was waiting for the lift to come down. I saw a boy and a girl probably 7th or 8th holding hands and making love. Both had touch screen mobiles and were watching something. The children were students of a Hindu school. Tell me is the school to be blamed for their behaviour? Can a Christian get up and say Hindu organizations run schools make children turn into love birds? All schools are supposed to conduct assemblies in the school and a prayer is always said before the class. Is the school management to be blamed if the children come to school without breakfast and faint? Everyday you hear some sort of this nonsense. Hope we all become wise.
