👉 Writers are acting like hunters’ dogs!

🔶 Hunters keep dogs which run several miles, toils really hard to catch their preys like rabbit, fox, deer, etc. and bring them back to their masters. The hunters will keep the prey and toss a small portion of meat to reward the dog. Similar practice is followed in the field of publication and intellectual works wherein the publishers are playing the role of hunters and get work done by writers who act similar to hunters’ dogs. If we happen to gather all literature written on disgusting, vulgar, erotic, provoking themes as well as those which talk about the ways to carry out evils like stealing, robbery, cheating, etc. it could easily make a heap as tall as the Mount Everest. What is more, this type of voluminous literature is read by millions of naive readers! A bait made of food mixed with poison is used to kill rats. Rats eat the bait and get killed by the poison concealed in it. The aforesaid literature is just like these baits. The naive minds of the readers easily fall prey to the ideas expressed in these publications and is compelled to act them out.

🔷 Nowadays, many writers are behaving like hunters’ dogs. They are helping their masters—the publishers and distributors to become rich media moguls. The writers may well be contented with the little bounty they get for their work. However, in doing so they are recklessly demonstrating the ‘genius’ of their nasty work by making readers to rise to their baits and making them do what the publishers dream of. As if the Divine Mother of knowledge is being portrayed in an evil way. Such a sorry situation would make anyone sensible enough let out a sigh, “Oh God! Please take away all the knowledge, we would be far better off with being illiterate!”
