When the president of the United States demonstrates that it's okay to shove aside another person, no matter how important that person is or how unimportant he is, the message is clear. Even at a NATO meeting, violence is okay. After all, violence is a marker for saying: I only count, and I get what I want and I’ll do anything to get it. After all, what’s pushing? I’ll tell you: it’s a degree of violence. The noble Prime Minister of Montenegro opted not to push back. He’s a non-violent man. (Watch it on YouTube)
The event shows,
it’s okay to push a person aside; if it’s even okay to do that at a prestigious
NATO meeting, it surely is okay to do it on the street or sidewalk, especially
if you want to get ahead – as Trump showed the world.
This infant
ignoramus looks like an adult, but he doesn’t act like one. Nor does he string
a sentence together without repeating his phrases.
So now that
we’ve established that violence comes in many shapes and degrees, let’s chart
out a tactic to protect ourselves.
Walk fast
and walk with your elbows sticking out. That way, you can elbow someone first
before they do you.
Take long
strides and wear a look of grave determination on your face.
Carry your
pepper spray where it is visible for all to see.
Test it out
if you want to on anyone or try your recently purchased taser gun. If the police
can do this, why not us? They serve and protect us, so we should do the same
for ourselves, right? They're supposed to set an example, right?
Terrorism
is here, and it also exists on the streets of daily life. Watch the behaviour of
people. They are blind to others. They have little sense of space, let alone
any verbal curtsy or quietness of speech.
Violence is the new norm. But do yourself a
favour. Never allow yourself to get used to it. If you do, you’ve lost your
only true weapon: humanity.
So true!
