A few days ago, I came across a video in which a tiger suddenly emerges from the bushes, catching a man completely unaware. In a matter of seconds, the animal clamps its jaws in the man’s neck and drags him away as though he were a toy. It was a ghastly sight. Later, upon researching further, I learned that the video was likely AI-generated.
In earlier times, when the real horses raced across open lands before present day horses on wheels replaced them, and when only real birds filled the sky rather than metal ones carrying people across the air... life and longevity were far more uncertain. Travel depended on horse-drawn carriages, bullock carts, or one’s own feet - resulting in days of travel! Travelling just 100 km would take 3 to 5 days depending on how fast you can walk! In those days, encounters with wild beasts such as lions, tigers, hyenas, and cheetahs were not uncommon. Poisonous snakes and scorpions claimed lives without warning. Death often arrived unpredictably, leaving families shattered and women and dependants to confront life’s hardships alone.
With the modernization of civilization, such encounters have largely faded into folklore, occurring only as rare and exceptional events. Yet this does not mean that predators have disappeared. Instead, a new and far more dangerous kind of beast has emerged now.
These modern beasts are not driven by hunger of the stomach. They are the mafias and exploiters embedded in every field of society—individuals who prey relentlessly upon the weak, the legally ignorant, and the prey who can be manipulated by leveraging their fear. Unlike wild animals, which kill only to survive, these predators have no limit to their appetite. Their hunger is fueled by greed, lust for power, and ego.
What makes them especially dangerous is that they walk among us as fellow human beings—two-legged Homo sapiens with similar brains, cultural exposure, and intelligence. They can read minds, manipulate emotions, and exploit trust to serve their selfish motives. Their violence is not swift, nor does it end life with a single, merciful jaw-bite. Instead, it is slow, calculated, and deeply scarring, often lasting a lifetime. Through extortion, fraud, intimidation, and sustained psychological pressure, they poison lives gradually, draining their victims until nothing remains.
Unlike wild predators, which act alone and strike a single victim, modern predators do not stop with one life. They gather, collude, and gang up with like-minded predators across various courts and departments of the state, sustained by corruption in cash and in kind. Together, they continue attacking and gnawing at the victim’s family as well—destroying relationships, dignity, and stability with the same relentless intent. This is the kind of predation that destroyed my father—and, with him, our family life.
Such beasts can never be excused or forgiven. They commit their acts with full awareness, not to preserve life but to dominate it. This is a deliberate choice. Every cell of their body participates knowingly in wrongdoing. Unlike the tiger in the forest, whose violence is bound by instinct and survival, these predators choose evil consciously—and it is precisely this choice that makes them far more Cruel and Unforgiveable.
I Walk By Faith, More Than Sight!
