The Hustle or the Tussle: When Survival Redefines Morality
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>We often hear the loud, public declarations: DON’T DO YAHOO!!, DON’T STEAL, DON’T DO RITUAL, A GOOD NAME IS FAR BETTER THAN RICHES. But these lectures are almost always spoken from a safe distance, without justifying criminal actions, we have do face a bitter truth: some people simply have no resources to pull from anywhere, and may we not forget that “A hungry man listens only to his stomach“.</p><p><br/></p><p> We scrutinize and shout openly that it is a crime, but instead of getting better, it’s far worse than yesterday, traditional discipline doesn’t dictate to someone who has seen both parents struggle for meagre pays or for nothing at <a class="tc-blue" href="https://all.In" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">all.In </a> this case, the society builds a ruthless machine that’s ready to migrate himself and his family from that point.</p><p><br/></p><p> As they say “To make mama proud is the goal“, the answer is YES, we all know it’s bad, but if there’s no one coming to help you, an individual has no other choice but to help him/herself. When morality is faced with desperate survival, the individual is met with a choice of hustle or tussle. </p><p><br/></p><p> When crime feels like the only relief or viable way out of poverty and hunger, the system already failed in doing its job, if viable solutions are not being put in place, the endless cycle of fraud, armed robbery and crime as a whole, starts all over. If there are no other accessible solutions, they only move in one path, no matter the risk.</p><p><br/></p><p> This matter is of crucial importance to the masses, but that’s a conversation the society isn’t ready for. What’s next, when the generation to take over, is in shambles, and what’s left when the executives are far behind schedule.
