BAN, NGUYEN DUC

One of my family members died this week. Somebody knows why. Some body knows.

Yes, you got me. I ripped this sentence from Roschach, the hidden vigilate of New York. We are dying, not because this is the time, but because someone never do their jobs, or never do these job follow up any code of conduct. This news, this news, this news and this news… are day after day become our daily facts what we don’t even surprise after we heard them. That means we are not safe here.

My aunt has gone after an unbelievable accident. She was collided by a self-made tractor in her factory’s yard. The reason is not reasonable, this factory doesn’t separate the way to go to the yard for its suppliers and employees. My aunt and the tractor go the same way to enter the yard. That’s why my aunt be killed by a tractor what were carrying 3 to 4 tons of the material to sell to this factory. After the accident happened, people blamed the tractor’s driver. Why don’t they talk about the mistake of this factory’s managers while building this unsafe factory. Further, anyone who have the responsibility after approved the safety standard of this factory must be punished. More than that, the suppliers and the employees of this factory must have their individual way to go to the yard. We must guarantee that nobody get killed in this yard right after this accident happen.

I know the reason why we all love Roschach, but Veidt. When our family member be killed by an tractor, we put the tractor driver into jail, like the way Roschach chasing the criminal, one by one. This is not wrong. But what if we try to know the root of this crime and help people to avoid it, like the way Weidt do to create his utopia? This is more than right, don’t you see? I know we just want to live our normal life to hate and to love, like Roschach. But while people on duty don’t do their jobs follow up any code of conduct, we have to act to protect ourselves, like Veidt. Doing this is more than difficult because we should make a revolution against what we used to think is right. What can we do now? Of course we will not wearing some costumes to chase the bads. Just do the right things, never do the bad things. We have to do the right things because base on them, we have the conduct to judge those people on duty but never do their jobs in the right way. We have to teach our family members, our friends, our colleagues… to do it, and keep watching things if them go right or not. Do the right thing is more than easy. Why don’t we start from now?

We are not safe here, not because this is not safe in Vietnam, but because we never think about how to increase the standard of our life.
