Today I read the magazine:
Broader Perspectives: The Dark Side Of The World.

I opened the magazine with little more intention then to improve my understanding of the English Language. However, the contents inside brought me deeper in my understanding and perception of our world dramatically. The articles of the magazine featured one main topic: The ins-and-outs of Organised Crime in our modern society.

But what was most disturbing, was the report that 2.5 million people have been illegally trafficked for a host of inhuman purposes: Forced labour, the sex industry being just a few examples in the long list of atrocities. How can someone be driven to such an unhuman and callous extent as to treat a fellow human as an item and a source of income. It is indeed perplexing as to how deep and dark are the innermost nature of us humans can be. It is a crime not only against laws, but also against humanity itself.
And the diabolic worsens. It is indeed a disgrace to humans that the term 'disposable' people has to be coined to describe victims who are exploited extensively without a short period of time and then abandoned on the streets to fend for their livelihoods after they have served their purpose of delivering income or labour to their unfeeling captors.
It is not possible to describe in measure the atrocities of these felonious individuals with words alone, their crime and sin can only be justified by corporal punishment, for the damage they have created to the innocents are immeasurable.


It does not end here. Egocentric individuals in the medical profession have cut corners in the production of healthcare products, resulting in bogus and lethal medicine that are no more than poisons, and to disastrous effect with the deaths of thousands of innocent victims, just because of a pecuniary desires. For example, in the Panama Cough Syrup scandal, an actual ingredient of the medicine, glycerine was exchanged for the nephrotoxic diethylene. The result? 365 innocent peopl became casualties, and many more were scarred for life.

All these facts report the darkest side of our human being, the choice to abandon the basic laws of human nature just for monetary gains. While it is difficult to vision how people can commit such a humanitarian crime, it is controversial to announce the root of the problem: Ourselves. Organised crime exists for a reason: To achieve profits illegally by appealing to us consumer's desires. Be it for pleasure or for percuniary gains, it does not change the hard truth that we ourselves are the root of this rising and troubling enigma. I will explain this hard-to-swallow claim in the following paragraph.

Like all businesses, Organised crime is run on just one intention: To gain profits, just through means not approved by the law.
And what better by appealing to our inner desires, be it for sexual or personal pleasure, by providing consumers with sexual services, drugs, illegal arms, organs and endangered species'. It is because we succumb to these services and provide them with handsome monetary gains in exchange that we are fuelling the wheels of a worldwide problem. No amount of laws, restrictions, penalties and security will be able to cripple the international syndicates, but only if we resist to succumbing to funding these organisations. Without demand for these illegal services, syndicates are unable to operate and thus will gradually diminish into non-exsistence. Indeed, these atrocities committed against mankind itself has ironically arose from us ourselves only.

I urge everyone who may be reading this, young and old, rich or poor, to never ever concede to these forbidden services offered by these callous criminals, to do so would be akin to supporting these illegal syndicates itself. Stop it today, take a stand against crime.
