Accident..!?
Pick up the
phone!
Record it!
Capture it! Tweet it! Post it!
Yeah!
Those are
the thought your mind order you, with in such situations. Isn’t it?
In a
situation which you have never experienced before!
Yeah it’s
damn true!
It may be
any kind of situation, something you never experienced before, you tend to capture
it! Why? Because you can get more like ‘favorites’, ‘like’ and ‘shares’ to
those kind of stuff or for nothing!
I think, we
all have seen such situations with your eyes or in the TV that, whenever there
is an accident take place, there is a large cycle concentrated with people,
holding their phones in their hands with Camera-
on.
They have no
intention to rescue the victim but to record it. Never try to help the person
or to help the other who is in rescuing and aiding process as he can, even if
there is a need of other’s contribution to it.
People who
are in this circle sometimes be a disturbance to the rescuing and aiding
process too. No drop of thought to help the poor is, in their mind. Just the
feeling to catch it. I don’t think that, even they don’t why their
doing it and what for!
But it’s the
trend!
So why you
shouldn’t too!
I think
everybody have seen such situation where these kind of ‘Recorders’ are present.
I too came
up with such situation recently. And I was shocked to see how people try to
profit or to get advantage from other’s pain and helplessness and the
discomfort felt when someone unknown records you. I was shocked to see the way
those people kept the humanity in the back seat while keeping publicity in the
front.
That day,
the girl who hit with the train was with her boy friend, hanging out in the
rail way station here and there, talking and laughing, waiting for the next
train. The train came and the next thing I saw is the train stopped and she was
on the rail way line, her body being cut into two separate pieces, from her
upper body (Train had went over her) her boy friend was screaming and ran to her.
But she never scream, instead she hug her lover with her last bit of strength
left with her, for the last time in her life.
Every eye
was filled with tears, even in men. Everybody knew there’s nothing they can do,
not even the god. And some try to comfort the boy.
But
unfortunately, there was a guy who was with the thought of marketing the sad
story and to get more likes and tweets or whatever (or may be having no any
idea to what to do with the video). I felt like he is a jerk who couldn’t
understand the human feelings behind the scene.Seems
to had no idea about ethics. For the record a man near him
took his tab and hit it right on his face.
Many justify
such kind of acts with photojournalism. So times you may be one of them. But I like
to remind you here, photojournalism is only a marketing trick of media companies, to get more profit, because everyone know that photos are really effective communicating
method than words. And more effective ways of communication gives you, more profit.
One the
other hand, it’s not fair enough to justify these kinds of situations using photojournalism
as a shield unless, you are working for media as a reporter. Because he is a
reporter and it’s what he paid for.
But you are
not paid for capturing such frames, unless you ask from a media company. You have never thought for selling your photos, aren’t you?
So, what the
use of, such shots. It’ll be deleted after staying few months in your phone or
in your computer.
To me, it seems
like a trend, people try to follow without the knowledge of why you should do it.
Only because that’s what your friend has done, when he saw an accident or where
someone is in trouble.
The next
common argue with this is life is not something full of flowers, so why it’s
not good capturing some shots of pain and bad.They say
"Every picture has a story"
No matter
what you say I still like to take photos and what’s the wrong trying to catch
up things with ma phone ha?
No, there is
nothing wrong with, recording such situation, so you can show it to your
friends too.
But as
intelligent and civilized people, it’s better to get profited from other
sources than such cheaper ones. And ,to cultivate a good dose of humanity, at
least enough to feel other’s pain.
Yes, you
should capture it, if it is something incredible and amazing.
Why not!
But think
about how they feel to be caught in strangers recording when they are really
helpless and in a pain. Think for a second the discomfort they feel with your behavior.
Apply the golden rule-
“Love thy neighbor as
thyself"
And see
how you feel, if you were choking or injured and I was standing there,
would you want me to help you or take your picture?
Make sure
not to let yourself to be such a low, cold blooded, opportunistic person.
In such an
occasion help the victim as you can. It may be one word to comfort him or a one
expression you given order to make him stronger. Doesn’t matter! It worth a lot
and it will a relief to that person.
Let your
phone stay in your pocket .let your heart to comfort him. And let yourself to
help him.
After all if
you still want to take a picture, take it.(you are feel free to do what you
want to do)
But remember to keep ‘help the victim ‘as your first priority.
But remember to keep ‘help the victim ‘as your first priority.
Also think
about what those photos for and what I’ll do with it afterwards.
'Because, no
matter how the society and the world has changed, it still everyone and everything,
judge someone with, the dose of humanity he posses.'
P.S feel
free to share your opinion too ppz!:):)
What if today is your last day?
