The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.

Dalai Lama XIV

I think the part of media that romanticizes criminal behavior, things that a person will say against women, profanity, being gangster, having multiple children with multiple men and women and not wanting to is prevalent.
