Summary
- boyfriend,19 killed girlfriend,14,`s parents
- parents objected to their relationship due to the huge age gap
My take
I think that David.G Ludwig should not kill Kara`s parents. It is a very immoral act. However, I am very astonished by Kara`s reaction to this incident. Her parents had brought her up thus far yet she did not even bother to stop her boyfriend from killing her parents. In the end, she ended up not only losing her parents to her boyfriend but also losing her boyfriend to the long arms of law.
I think its high time we do some values check on our teenagers. For fourteen years, Kara`s parents had brought her up and spent money to groom her to what she is today. Yet, she dont even feel any remorse upon seeing her parents faced the devil of death. She sacrificed her parents just to be with her boyfriend. Is this an act of being faithful to her boyfriend? Is this an act of expressing her love for her boyfriend? I dont think so. I think it is more of sacrifising both her parents and her boyfriend just because of her own immature thinking. This unfillial girl could have done something. She could have stopped the boyfriend from killing her parents. Then, her parents will not die. And, her boyfriend will not faced a death penalty just because of her foolishness of not stopping him.
Even though Kara is not involved in the shooting, but, I think she is equally punishable by law. She was an onlooker who watched her parents died in the hands of her silly boyfriend. By not stopping her boyfriend, she had indirectly killed her parents. Now, she lost her loved ones and she has noone to blame but her ownself.
After this incident, I think that a boy girl relationship should only be encouraged only when both parties reached a level of maturity. Kara , for example, obviously had not reached this level. She was blinded by love and was very selfish to think only about herself. Her parents objected to their relationship because they care for her and do not wish to see her hurt. However, by allowing her boyfriend to kill her parents, is she showing any care and concern towards her parents? NO!
Forget about big money or big achievements. I think parents should focus more on instilling the right values into their children especially traditional values like filliality. Without these values, no matter how successful one is, I think he/she is still a failure. This is because without their parents, the will not be what they are today. Hence, I hoped that parents should start their values education from young lest they ended up in an undesirable death like Kara`s parents.
