Domestic Violence

Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.

- Proverb 29:11

Of recent, There have been an increase in the reports of domestic violence. I feel sad when I see love turned sour among couples. I feel sad to hear of someone dying as a result of domestic abuse.

One thing I have observe is domestic violence don't just start on it's own. Something must have cause or led to it, it starts little by little until it grows bigger and escalate beyond control.

Domestic Violence doesn't has to be physical. Verbal abuse is the younger brother to a physic abuse. Anybody that curse or insult you can hit you. You are violent when you constantly attack another person self esteem. Violence can be verbal, emotionally, physical or mentally. It is not until you assault someone that you have been violent. Your choice of words to people can show if you are violent or not.

We do get angry, but we shouldn't let the sun goes down while angry i.e you shouldn't get angry for a long time. Learn to let go when people offend you because people MUST offend you. It is left to you to let that offense get to you or not. What people do to you matter but how you react matter more. 

Lack of self control, poor anger management has lead to broken homes, loss of lives, damage to properties and many more.

Before you speak, think it, before you hit somebody else, think through. Be calm in tempting situations. 

Do not die in silence if you are a victim of domestic violence or you have a bad temper. Seek help And be helped.

It's a wonderful and bright morning. Good Morning to you beloved, do have a great day.
