Hostile Traffic Of India

A car collided with a motorcycle standing to take a turn.
Not realizing whose mistake it was the car driver picks up the motorcyclist and slaps him across the face.
The motorcyclist now enraged with this demeanor hits that guy back with more force.
The pillion rider also feels he needs to give some piece of his hand.
Now, at this moment the owner of the car intervenes by catching the collar of the motorcyclist who was already infuriated that he was pushed by this car to the dividers. And,  the owner of the car did not even care enough to see if they were alright or not. Motorcyclist pushes the owner back, abuses him and lessons him to stay inside. Why care now when you didn't before! Just because your guy is getting the wrath of something that could have sorted out much better than this.
Driver tried to fight back but he couldn't it was two men against one and the car owner had to just sit and watch.
When the motorcyclist and his pillion were satisfied that they have gotten what was taken away from them. They took their bike and rode away.
Motorcyclist seemed to be happy that he left the driver with bloody nose and face. He thought he fought back for what was wronged to him. He didn't care that he threatened a much older person even more than his own Father. When he described this so called proud event he was rather smirking at the idea of leaving a person with blood on his face.

When I tried to tell the motorcyclist that one or two slaps would have sufficed in return. He said it wouldn't have served the purpose properly. There was no remorse what so ever and he didn't even want to feel bad about it.

Why did the car driver had to speed so much at a turning which ended up hurting someone?  Why did the car driver slapped the motorcyclist first instead of helping him get up?

Why did the motorcyclist kept on hitting the driver till he was satisfied? Why wasn't there any remorse?

Our anger and our ego could take so much control of our actions that one could forget their values and act as they chose to?

Then, how are humans superior to animals?

  1. I had once such experience during my grad days. This one senior batch guy was always late by 5-10 minutes to the class during exams. We would sit as per the hall ticket number along with the seniors to avoid an activity as crucial for success as COPYING.
    So when this guy entered the exam hall, he was questioned for coming late to the exam and was asked to see the exam controller. On which, this guy abused the invigilator and then started shouting at the vigil. I was on the first bench and the natural meddler in me tried to explain the guy that he should accept that he was late and should BEG for a pardon. TO which, this idiot guy with immense ego told me to mind my own stuff. I said then I tried to do exactly what he ORDERED, but that he was creating a scene and disturbing all the exam takers.

    He then gave me a typical 'TUJHE DEKH LUNGA' thud and hurled abuses at me after the exam in the corridor.

    He surely is an animal. People do that. To hide their own shortfalls and mistakes.

  2. This guy seems to be blaming everyone else of his own shortcomings to exclude himself of any responsibility of his own wrong doings. Hoe Smart!
