RE: MY VIEW ON DOMESTIC ABUSE: THE ROLE WE ALL PLAY

in Speak Peace3 years ago

As sad as the circumstances that surrounds this situation is, I really agree to this.

Pressure is real. Peer. Societal. Even, sometimes from religion.

Last week I wrote a post about the damages societal pressures can cause. This is one of such problems. “When will you buy your car? Build a house? Marry a spouse? Give birth to a child? Etc.” These are some of the several questions people get asked every day, and the people who don’t have these things are constantly victimized by some of these people who have suddenly turned to marriage counselors.

It is also easy to give advices when you're not in those exact shoes of your 'moment mentee'.

But who never mess up before, hands in the air...
No hands?

I guess we should just move from throwing online tantrums (like shifting blames when the deed has already been done) each time there's some sort of traffic on those spaces and start to take responsibility for ourselves, for one another.

We are a family. One society. One community. One love.

One of the lessons I have also learnt from this whole thing is to "look out for your people." A lot of sh*t are happening. Beautiful masks on people's faces.

A little extra checkup and commitment to your relationships will do.

Thank you so much for sharing, boss!!@monioluwa

I just hope everyone will find the strength to do what's right.

Exactly. It is very easy to do when you're the observer. It's a different ball game when you're on the field.

This is why I try to people in any way I can. People are really going through stuffs, and the last thing they need is someone adding more to their problems.

I just hope everyone will find the strength to do what's right.

Amen.
Thank you very much for stopping by boss. 🙌🙌

So thoughtful of you my dear. People are going through a lot, there are deep agonies of soul behind the beautiful smiles.
