When you allow yourself to be railroaded and forced into silence for having an opinion by the mob it simply shows you are yet to reinforce your self respect and build your strength of character. You don’t know yourself yet without the capability of embracing your own monstrosity.
Those who are unable to be cruel will always be an absolute victim of those cloaking their inadequacies with aggression. You will never respect yourself until you’ve grown teeth. This is why we love to watch movies telling stories from the perspective of the villain.
It is also the reason why people enjoy watching or following up on Twitter bouts, rants and battles. This helps us relate to our own dark side by feeding its desires. This shouldn’t be misconstrued with the promotion of violence or belligerence but identification of the self.
In order to demand self respect from yourself and others, you need to know the dangerous part of you & its capabilities. It is one thing to be dangerously cruel and choose not to be than live to be a victim of mob all your life. Even you will lose respect for U & become enslaved.
If people can succeed at bullying you on your personal choices just with the threat of violence (cancel culture), then you have ceded your freedom to them as they will never stop there. You take a stand with your self respect and inner validation. Never appeal to the mob.
Know thyself. Respect yourself. Validate yourself. Stand your ground. Stop being bullied by those you neither like nor will ever be accepted by. Your parents didn’t birth a ‘bitch.’ Grow some spine and stand by what you believe. You are a contradiction capable of good & evil.

One thing is certain...you can’t intimidate the truth & neither can you wish it away. Lies pushed with the vilest of hate still can’t prevent the truth from appearing. The desperation of the socially maladjusted is obvious just for the lust for fame & fortune. #EndHypocrisy
There are also those who seek to legitimize the evil/bloodletting by building a business around it under the guise of running an NGO. They sponsor media events, awards & even grandstand by promoting evil, despite failing serially to establish themselves as a force for years.
These are the ones seeking to re-write history by attempting to sell the #EndSARS#ReformPoliceNG as a Protest. They want the world to believe it started months ago. They want to own it & weaponize it against the state at the expense of the vulnerable in society & our democracy!
Interesting perspective. I would have loved to discuss this but it’ll become yet another thesis. I believe if we are a Fish, Religion is like living in a fish bowl as against a life of purpose in the vast oceans of an intrinsic relationship with God in freedom. Religion shackles.
Figuratively, anything can become a religion for creatures of habit. Godliness is intrinsic, what works for you may not work for me. My experience of God may not be same as yours. God may manifest Himself to you as your provider in times of need & to me as my deliverer in crisis.
For me to force you to see God only as a Deliverer is to rob you of your experience of Him as your Provider or force you into a fish bowl in terms of deprivation from the multi-chromatic experience of the GOD head. God reveals himself to us based on the level of our exposure.
If you have ever created anything that succeeds, you will never criticize what you can’t execute better. ⛱
Many who strive to be famous hardly know much about the price tag. It’s like setting yourself up for a life in the spotlight with a highly distracted mob. They know your name but you really can’t connect to anyone in particular. They become your poison & addiction.
Unless of course you are a politician far away from an election year, where you need not give a F**k. Fame shackles you and unfortunately it is ephemeral. This is why a life of influence and impact is more profitable. No one can take away who you are in purpose.
A great teacher whose lectures were prevented from being shared was asked what he thought of his enemies and he simply responded that “To regard anyone as an enemy is a great folly.” Not everyone will understand your conviction & those who do helps while others hinder.
“The diffusion of that which is intelligent can only be hindered by stupidity. People have their vested interests to which they cling and which by continual thoughts and action are increasing. Whatever that is said to criticize such vested interest attracts immediate response...
...which can either be on the defensive or vituperative in retaliation depending on the state of mental health of the one retorting. People with something to guard or protect will always live in fear & act thoughtlessly in cruelty, but one who has nothing to lose nurse no fear.”
Psychology, neurology and philosophy have been integral parts of my study since I was a teenager. Ever since I embraced my uncanny ability to feel the pains of others & cultured the habit of taking responsibility. Having familiarized myself with psychoanalysts’ saying...
...”The Good Mother necessarily fails” I’ve had to re-tweak my processes every now and then. The maxim suggests that as your ‘child’ matures, you have to fail more and more as a ‘mother.’ If you are guardian to a 20-35years old, you are not their mother anymore.
Biologically you still are but that relationship soon becomes a quasi-peer status. I have seen this happen in most families where children feels they are matured enough to talk back and take risks even while enjoying parental care when they fail.
This is why people should study the @SIAF_NG model for engaging change. It is called the Conscious Revolution Paradigm; strategic engagement beyond emotional tantrums. It works globally and with track record of successes even in Nigeria. #Selah
An anachronistic law/bill that is no longer fit for purpose is simply analyzed by experts with recommendation on the ideal with justification amidst public awareness just as done for #EndSARS#ReformPoliceNG (not the protest) and #ElectoralReform campaign.
This way, the needed political will is galvanized and proper objective engagement of the legislative is done by representatives of the movement for this change. This is not a one time event but a reiteration of several actions in an accountable & objective manner.
