A tragic post shared the story of a man who died after being buried alive by a native doctor and his father as part of a ritual to ensure success abroad, following his visa approval. Rather than expressing empathy or addressing the dangers of such practices, one comment coldly stated, “Good for him… he learn the hard way.” This kind of response reflects a disturbing lack of compassion and trivializes the loss of life.
Insensitive remarks like these ignore the underlying issues, such as desperation, misinformation, and harmful traditional beliefs that drive people to engage in such rituals. Instead of mocking the victim, the focus should be on raising awareness about the dangers of ritual practices, promoting mental health, and encouraging safer, lawful ways to pursue success.
