MENARETRASH

Is it really worth it, is it really worth talking about the things you won’t stand up too, talk is cheap, these days people just talk for the spotlight, it is as speaking about the truth is the way to go, quite pathetic if the only thing you will actually do is talk. I know I said the word talk so many times because well talk is talk. Let me take it back, one person might be reading this and asking himself if talking about something isn’t the first step to recognising a problem well of course it is but it’s not the only step. Would you be motivated by a cheap ass skank telling you how to live your life? NOOOOOO. BUT YOU WOULD BE MOTIVATED BY Bill Gates because he has the credentials to back his “talking’s”. today society is filled with creeps that take advantage of this all talk no act nation we live in from rape cases everywhere in varsities to men abusing their partners in domestic violence, only a select few of individuals  rise up to the challenge and take necessary steps to fight the wrongs that are out there. Lately there has been the famous #MenAreTrash movement which has lead to loads of women getting the courage to speak out about what men have been doing to them behind closed doors, unfortunately a life had to be sacrificed before they could speak out “may her soul rest in peace” but that’s how we should have been before Karabo became a hero after death. People tend to give situations power because of fear, fear of losing the person you love, fear of being embarrassed, and fear of showing any signs of weakness. Fear, defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain and harm. Fear the world’s deadliest tool, fear can inflict terror into people’s lives by driving them into the dark making sure the light doesn’t exist, fear the tool used by the superior over the inferior, leading back to my statement of people giving situations power over them, allowing the inflictor dominance. A wise man once said that strength doesn’t come from what you can do but it comes from the things you once thought you couldn’t. Hiding your shame does not declare you strong it just makes you weak, shutting up about those late night beatings because you think your man of 20 years will get better is quite sad frankly, violence should not be given such power, speak up, do something about it, if you really love him, confront the situation before it totally shuts you up. The saddest thing about all this is the fact that people disregard love and respect being one thing, you can hate someone and still respect him but you can’t love and not respect someone. These things go together like a mirror and its reflective qualities, each benefiting the other but we have just learnt to settle for less, we have learnt to live imperfect lives, we have learnt to accept bullshit from all sides of life, well it all needs to come to a stop we need to stand up to the abuse, we need to stand up for whats right, we need to strive to be a nation that acts
