A desperate Society

In a shared taxi I was sitting in the back seat and in the front chair next to the driver was a middle aged woman. On the way a car passed by our taxi in a very risky way. Our driver shouted at him and uttered a curse wishing, " this would be your last trip". Meaning wanted him dead. The woman sitting in the front chair criticized the driver, saying: you shouldn't say it. The driver replied angrily: He might have hit us and you may have been killed. What the woman said left me astonished. She said, I wish the sooner God would perish me. I commented in a way that all other passengers would hear."What a broken society we are living in that a woman at this age is desperately wishing death for herself”!? A man around 40 sitting next to me, looking like a pro-state, said, it is our own shortcomings. He continued, “the people running our country think of us as sheep, for even a donkey will never fall into the hole twice. Just look at that Ukrainian, they suffered one million casualties (!?) in the war, why don't we send this regime out even though one million get killed?”. It was a heartbreaking moment for me. I am not very well educated on other nations' history, but I doubt if ever a nation has experienced what we are facing now. Later in history, scarcely one could ever believe what is going on here has truly happened, only it could be possibly compared with Jonestown.
