Don’t mess with emotions 0 It’s unfortunate that a child had to die for us to realise that some of the things happening in our society are sick. It’s also unfortunate that only when something as brutal as a suffocated child’s story comes out only then, we want to step up and talk sense and want to be involved. Now I know it’s never too late to address some issues but I frankly don’t think its justice to the little girl that it’s only after her death, when we want to show how concerned we are and very quick to judge! Social media is now full of proclaimed psychologists, social workers and judges with PHDs from Harvard University. Some don’t even know the full story and have already started concluding.My question is pretty much simple and straight forward. What is going to prevent things like this from happening in future? I mean it’s clear that the girl’s daddy and current girlfriend drove this woman into doing what she did which was not right at all. How many more girlfriends will need to prove that they are the new main chick, boss madam or teddy bear to drive other lady nuts and actually go to the extreme of killing a child she carried for nine months and raised for three years? Haibo man, something doesn’t feel right here. Since I didn’t get my degree from Harvard law department I’m just going to keep my two cents and wait for the judgement to be made accordingly.
For those that want to do something to prevent situations like this, I think we could start educating our young ones at home and then we penetrate to our peers and work places in that order. We should be ok with talking about our feelings and not holding onto things until we get to a point where we can no longer help ourselves. Especially in our black communities, we tend to think feelings are for white people and depression or anxiety disorders are excuses to get out of work. Once we understand our feelings, we will be able to control them. It doesn’t make you less of a man if you cry here and there. We also have a culture of enjoying other people’s pain and who knows, maybe that’s why the “’new girlfriend decided to get her c-section on the same day just to cause pain and pain was caused. Damage is also done.
Let’s be careful about our actions. You don’t know how weak or strong the next person is. Be careful and treat others as you would want to be treated.
