Article No. 11
Every effect that we could see in this real-world has
a proper and definite cause behind it. Nothing in this world without a cause.
Sometimes all causes are not known to us, but there is a cause behind every effect.
Similarly, every Evil Acts (crimes, violations, disobedience, etc.) in this
world have some kind of cause behind it.
Punishments for Evil Acts (crimes, violations,
disobedience, etc.) are not always an effective treatment for reducing the
further occurrence of the same. There is no correlation between the severity of
punishments and the reduction of crime rates in societies cross-culturally. It
can be visibly seen in mostly and widely discussed crime in societies such as
rape. Even though we have strict legislation with severe punishment, rape and
sexual criminal activities rising in societies all over the world. This problem
can be seen in any kind of crimes, violations, disobedience etc. in any society
of this world.
Two kinds of Evil Acts
Evil acts can be broadly classified into two: 1.
Internally Stimulated and 2. Externally Stimulated. People’s behaviour comes
from either covert or overt. Here, all Internally Stimulated evil acts can be
regulated by legislation with punishment, but all Externally Stimulated evil
acts cannot be regulated by mere legislation with punishment. Stimulus leads to
responses is the fundamental procedure, which develops behaviour or acts from a
person. All behaviours are based on Stimulus-Response principle. A stimulus may
be internally driven (covert) or externally driven (overt).
Internally Stimulated Evil Acts
For example, traffic violations are one of the most
seen as Internally Stimulated Evil Acts. Our inner thoughts cause to violate
red signal or not wearing a helmet or seat belt etc. This decision comes from
our choice of free will. There is no other person or the environment generally
cause you to make violation of traffic rules. Similarly, other Internally
Stimulated Evil Acts such as theft, robbery, cheating, land encroachments,
pollutions etc. Aggressions to evil acts based on Internally Stimulated reason
mostly less stronger compared to Externally Stimulated Evil Acts. Because
Internally Stimulated Evil Acts works based on our ego or personal interest or
for immediate gratifications.
A person’s decision to not to wear a helmet comes from
the cause for immediate gratification, but if he properly fined and caught
under the law; then his rational mind based on free will decides to avoid
immediate gratification rather than immediate misery of punishment. Rational
analysis based on the free will of choice is only applicable in Internally
Stimulated Evil Acts, not in Externally Stimulated Evil Acts.
Externally Stimulated Evil Acts
A most typical example of Externally Stimulated Evil
Acts is sexual crimes. In Externally Stimulated Evil Acts, a person gets
stimulation from another person or environment. Here, the source of stimulation
plays a relevant role in causing to do evil acts. It cannot be ignored. If this
aspect ignored, it never going to reduce Externally Stimulated Evil Acts.
Similarly, other Externally Stimulated Evil Acts such as murder, extra marital
affair, attacks on doctors and government officials, destruction of public
property etc. Aggressions to evil acts based on Externally Stimulated reasons
are much stronger than Internally Stimulated Evil Acts. Because it is not
getting stimulation (provocation) from the same person internally, but coming
from the external world.
Sexual violence (non-consensual) basically start from
different kind of stimulations. It may start from seeing a film, picture,
advertisements, improperly dressed women/girls (exposed/revealed kinds of dress
i.e. purpose of clothing is not fulfilled - main reason) etc. Causes of
stimulation may not react to the same person at the same instant in the most of
the cases, it relieved later in some way or other way leads to sexual violence;
i.e. victim may not be a cause of stimulation. It is clear that causes of
stimulation to sexual violence start from one way or another way from another
person or environment.
Sexual violence (consensual): More than 86% of the
people in cases registered under rape in NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau);
have a prior relationship between accused (male) and petitioner (female). Most
of them having a different kind of sexual activities prior to this particular
complaint. From this, it is evident that petitioner (women) had many times
pleasure and lot of enjoyments and later turned into rape when she is denied to
get previous enjoyment/pleasure/other kinds of gains or repentance of her
wrongdoings in her life. Almost all sexual activities happen in mutual consent.
Great unmarried men and great unmarried women will wait for their marital
relationship for having sex. Great married men and great married women will
limit their sexual desire in their marital relationship only. This makes them
truly holy marital enjoyment and experiences with full potentials. It is also
the wish of God.
In all most all Externally Stimulated Evil Acts, there
is only one choice that is to do an evil act. This is not based on rational
analysis but it is releasing frustration or provocation as stimulation
developed over a long period of time. It may be a spontaneous act or developed
over a long period of time.
Role of society
Every Evil Act starts at for a onetime, then repeats
and eventually, it becomes a habitual one and part of life. After this stage by
stage process, people have no hesitation to do Evil Acts. A society having some
evil acts; there is no problem or nothing to worry about it. But if society
considers an evil act as a good act; there is a huge trouble in it and so
dangerous too. For example, marriage is always and only between man and woman
is a fact. But the relationship between man-man and woman-woman is not a
marriage or not a family; it is two sexually confused people playing the house.
But dangerous part is that if society accepts LGBTQ or homosexuality etc. as
marriage and family as normal one; then the meaning and purpose of life, family
and society will collapse and social order and decorum will be wiped out.
People are not basically good
All people in this world are born with enormous
vulnerabilities. Disciplined training from parents and fear of good and just
God makes us act and behave morally and ethically in our life. All mothers
having a child under age 10, experienced that all children are basically not
good. What we expect from them, will not come out from them. It is quite
natural. A person born with a lot of disorders and chaos. Here, parents have
the greatest responsibility of mankind to make that child into a disciplined
life with proper order. If parents failed to do so, then there is only a less
probability to that child to become a good personality. So parents must be
responsible and dedicated to the development of the discipline in the child.
Way forward
All Evils in human cannot be wiped out. But we can
behave and act against Evil Acts and we can be a good one in morally and
ethically for a meaningful and purposeful life. It is definitely impossible
with legislation and law enforcing authority. But it is possible by fear of
good and just God, that everyone will be judged before him one day for all our
good and evil acts. Also, it is very inevitable that parents’ responsibilities
to disciplined training in moral and ethical ways to their offspring. Both of
these will help societies to resist evil in our life.
