FROM UNDERGROUND DUNGEON TO ANONYMITY

FROM underground dungeon to anonymity in open prison, it is regrettable that the Austrian authorities have been letting the fuss to pile up by way of secluding the Fritzl victims further and proposing to change their identities, may be, transport them to anonymous places, etc., so that they would shield them from the eager world.
By doing so, the Austrian government and others tend to arouse the curiosity of the public and the media. What had happened to Princess Diana? It is good for the Fritzl victims to appear in public and mingle with the world, for they would be treated amicably everywhere.
This case happens to be special of its kind in the land of Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychoanalysis, let the victims be treated compassionately. Let the sick Fritzl also be treated to realise his piggish, eating his own shit kind of mental illness, and repent.
It is the society to blame, the mechanical, materialistic way of life to accuse, the insane pursuit of lust and orgies to point out, the careless police who ignored to retrieve the missing girl to charge, the tolerant and vulnerable mother who failed to question her amorous husband of his strange behaviour to account for, the Austrian government which try to make a mockery of the situation by arousing curiosity of the onlookers and media of its national shame to hold responsibility for furthering the menace to the victims….
The greatest contribution of Austria to the world of music was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The path breaking offering of Austria to the world of psychoanalysis was Sigmund Freud. The unique gift of Austria to the world of philosophy was Ludwig Wittgenstein. The most devastating threat of Austria to the world of terror was Adolf Hitler. And to add to the greatest disgrace of Austria now, the exposure of Joseph Fritzl’s seduction of his own daughter Elizabeth Fritzl by imprisoning her along with her selected children in an underground dungeon for nearly a quarter of a century, begetting from her seven children and the supposed molestation of Elizabeth’s first child Kerstin find no parallel for a ruthless libidomania of this sort in the known history of mankind.
The immediate cause of the First World War was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. He was visiting Sarajevo when he was assassinated on 28th June, 1914, by a Serbian nationalist society known as the Black Hand. Also the Austrian Hitler was the sole cause of Second World War. In one way or the other, Austria was behind the two greatest battles of the world.
In December 2006, heaps of skulls and bones of a number of missing children were discovered in the village of Nithari on the outskirts of Noida City, a planned industrial township in Uttar Pradesh near New Delhi. A rich and politically connected Punjabi businessman, Moninder Singh Pandher and his servant and aide Surender Koli were arrested for their long time scandal of sexually assaulting, killing and burying of several children and women.
The world is bound to the crimes in the name of war, religion, insanity, hatred and so on. The world is also guarded by peace, free thinking, sanity, love and so on. An equal balance of both is no good; an excess of the former is the worst and a surplus of the latter indicates the transformation into the best possible world.

I too cannot understand why they are hidden away. In a way they are all still imprisoned. Let the world see them, let them tell their story and then let them get on with their lives. Hiding them away does not do them any good.
Once they come out in the public eye, their story along with so many others will fade away.
