I chose Violence

in #hive-17687415 days ago

If it was yesterday I wrote this post, I would have written something entirely different, it would be that I have not gotten physical with anyone for many years and that is because I maintain my boundaries and I even hardly go out or make friends, so no one to provoke me to the extent of getting physical but 24 hours change the story...

We had a test in school today and we needed a foolscap sheet to do it, one of my close friends was approached by a guy and he asked him for a sheet and he replied that he only had one which he was going to use too... He left and a few minutes later, Someone snatched the paper from him by the time I looked at their side, they were already getting closer physically and since I did not know what really happened between them, I tried to separate them so they wouldn't fight, so I asked my friend what happened and he explained that the guy snatched his sheet of paper, the explanation got me angry and I told the guy to return it but he didn't listen to me as well which further infuriated me, like I was so mad that I pushed him so hard and expected him to raise his hand so we can know the boss but then he was fortunate as he didn't raise a hand.

The other students also joined and asked what happened and when they heard the gist, they blamed the guy as well, it was already time for the test so we just had to forget what happened and enter the hall to do the test, let just say it was the test that made the matter not escalate because I was so mad at the guy and his friends. Most of these bullies believed that they can do anything when they are in a group but fuck that shit!

Why was I angry more than the victim?

I hate bullies with a passion! cos I felt bullies only do that shit to people weaker than them, when I see people get bullied, I most time ignore or try to settle whatever is causing the issue but it is a different matter when my family or friends are being bullied, it makes me boil with so much anger that I just want to destroy the person.

That was exactly what happened today because I realized they were trying to bully my friend and I won't have that, I even threw caution to the wind that I won't fight in the school cos I don't want to be expelled but when this anger comes, it feels like I am possessed and I don't remember anything anymore.

After the anger subsided, I realized I could have peacefully approached the matter by just separating them and walking my friend to class but I chose violence for violence, I still need to work on my anger issue...

I am still learning how to control it by avoiding things and people that will awaken the demon inside me, so most time I get physical it is usually because of someone close to me that I feel is being cheated or bullied.

I feel we should always stand up for our loved ones and not just be looking when they are being maltreated because this is what is giving the bad eggs confidence to keep bullying the weak ones because others decided to do nothing about it and just let them do it.

Silence is good but every time remain silent is also a weakness. I think sometimes we need to choose violence for the betterment and it's necessary also.

you get it man, cos if you choose peace all the time, they will trample on you! so once in a while, we can unleash the demon

I'm sure your friend wasn't expecting you to burst out like that 😅.
I hate bullies too, glad the matter didn't escalate

yea he was not😃, but throughout that yesterday, we were just gisting about things and it has kinda been a long time we did such... so i think things like this just make the bond stronger, when you know someone got your back when you are in a tough spot

Yeah, it does oo

Sending you an Ecency curation vote!

Perhaps it's just a natural instinct to act that way, any sort of injustice shouldn't be tolerated in any way, lest people use it as a leeway to cause more injustice.

it was... moreover i have anger issue lol but i have been able to contain it since i hardly mingle with people

yea, we must learn to stand for what is right at all times

That was so nice of you to stand up for your friend. But then I believe it could have been approached in a different and peaceful way as you said. I’m glad nothing happened after you pushed him if not that would have been a different story.

it could have been handled peacefully but that will only give the gangs more confidence to do it again another time and that is how such act spread but after what happened yesterday, they would think twice and be aware of their location before they do such again

Haha 😆 I beg you ooh @burlarj . Don’t fight anyone at this time of the year. Some has not eating but will be doing Agidi 💪. They just end up collapsing on someone.

I can understand with you. Family and friends are not area of matter of joke. We have to always stand up for them. Hope your test went well.

Cheers 🥂 to happy 😃 day.

honestly, this is one of the reasons I don't like getting physical with others because we don't know whose death is near and just waiting for someone to slightly touch them but then sometimes the anger get the best of us that we forget every other thing

You are totally 💯 right. Sometimes anger makes us not see what’s coming.

Happy 😆 weekend .

Guy, u no get chill ohh😅😅
I love the way you pushed him cos why would he snatch the paper from your friend
It’s crazy

I am cool until I am no longer cool😀

That's true bullies just target the weaker and peaceful ones.
Sometimes, it is good to choose violence oo
