Violence at its peak.

Violence is everywhere. Just that it varies from one part of the world to another. We all have what we are facing in our own part of the world. To talk about the country as a whole we also have what we are facing in our immediate family, our close relationships with others, and our friendship zones. We all have something to battle, be it toxicity, insecurity, hatred, envy, violence, and many more.

I read it on a friend's status that life is just so imbalanced. He said that Nigeria as a country is trying to battle with inflation, but there in China, they are battling with deflation. We all have it different and we are also taking different approaches to handling it.

We have different types of violence. Most violence couples face is abuse, it's quite different from the violence a country will face which is the abuse of human rights, corruption, theft, robbery, and the like.

Yeah, we live in a generation where almost everything that’s happening around us is used to film movies for us to watch. I don't know exactly what their motives or intentions are, but one thing I know is that they wanted us to learn some lessons from the movies.

Nowadays the opposite is what we are experiencing these days. Even people get to learn from those movies and then practice those actions in real life.

Relationship violence

I have seen a lot of people in toxic relationships. I experienced one with a close person to me. The husband appeared cool on the outside and he looked so calm. But who knows what he has running on his mind? He abused the relationship so much that the wife was scared to even report or tell anyone about it.

But at the end of it, the abuse was exposed by their kid, a 3-year-old boy. I just can't imagine what that child would have in his brain about relationships if it should continue that way and not have him mentored and tutored about what relationships are all about. He must have thought that's the right way.

This is something that can be curbed through counseling. Couples should be counseled and groomed enough to know what it takes to be in a relationship and not just see it as an avenue to vent their anger or take revenge.

Country’s violence.

It's so sad that even within ourselves we are having it hard on ourselves as citizens of a country. We don't care about what humanity means anymore. All we want is to satisfy our greediness. I can't imagine a country where humans will have to kidnap their fellow humans and then request a huge amount of money as ransom for their lives.

After that they will blame the government for not providing adequate security in the country. Can the government come down to the local villages and secure them? It's true that the government has their eyes everywhere but they can’t be everywhere at the same time. It’s humans who will have to place in those places.

Violence is everywhere, and the one way to curb this act of violence is for everyone to have a good heart, and have a good heart towards everyone around us. Our family, friends, neighbors, leaders, and the country at large.
