My confession: say no to violence

We are living pretty difficult times now. This is testing our nerves and is making us feel quite out of control. If you're at least a bit like me, you dislike being out of control in your life. Unfortunately, we can't always choose what we get and we must go with the flow.
I was reading a couple of days ago about the fact that since this virus has struck humanity a lot of divorces are happening now. Lawyers must be in complete joy. The idea of a period of time when you are forced to live together 24hr per day seems to be making a lot of casualties. Couples begin to fight and lovers don't know who they are dealing with anymore.

I believe that human character is tested now at its very core. I believe that during such a pandemic we can see what we are made of. How good or bad you really are?
It makes me deeply sad when I hear about couples spending their together time on their phones because they no longer can stand each other. I am sad when I hear about love stories going bad. I am sad when I see people who don't appreciate anymore the quality of time spent together. I see these times as being a blessing in a way: you can be more physically present with a loved one, you can share favorite activities, you can find new projects to work on, you can read together, watch quality content, be more affectionate when the alarm clock for going to work is not ticking anymore.
There is another perspective on this: the couples who don't make it through this in one piece.

I was always against any form of violence. I find the damage caused by verbal, emotional, physical abuse to be unacceptable and just plain cruel. I can't understant why people choose constantly to talk bad to you if you are in a couple. I don't understand why people don't learn from their mistakes. But I am sure of one thing: that hoping and giving so many chances can drain you of energy. 100 chances to the wrong person is a waste for 2 chances for the right person.

I want to believe in humankind. I don't want to let a bad experience of violent behaviour from an ex define me. I don't want to believe that people can sleep at night in peace after they do you wrong and make you suffer. I don't want to believe that this is how all the guys are. Although I wish him no harm, I can no longer respect a person who behaved in such an unkind and cruel manner. I believe in the power of changing, I believe that maybe with specialised help , people can change bad patterns of behaviour. But I also believe that no matter what, pandemic, loneliness, poverty, fear, none of us should accept violence. No matter what kind of violence it is.
I can only wish the best to those who are behaving like this in order to clear my conscience of any form of bad energy . Deep in my heart I believe that every soul has its own problems and we are all hurt, one way or another. I know that those who hurt you have a bigger problem of forgiving themselves than they like to admit.But I know that time heals and shows our mistakes . I know that art, creativity, painting, writing, will help me get better. I know that I stand proud in front of any adversity knowing that I have kept my dignity.

Maybe Covid it's not entirely a bad thing and maybe with the help of it we find out things about our loved ones which we would have never dared to believe. Good and bad. And in a way, corona is doing us a favor. It speeds things up, puts a bit more pressure and reveals characters. For this, I can be grateful.

To end this on a positive note, tell me in the comments a few qualities of us, people, which makes us good elements on this planet Earth. I think that some of you might feel now just like me: wanting to have their faith in humanity restored. So I shall say one quality I admire about us people: empathy. Can you tell me a couple more?

Have a peaceful night and take care of your loved one, no matter where you are! True love is more precious than you think:)

Toodlee loo!
