This morning I have a question for you: Who taught you to fight? It seems lately there’s been a lot of talk about fighting; “fighting for justice,” “fight the good fight,” “fight for your rights.” In most cases the fight described is a noble one and replaces good things for bad. However, there’s a different kind of fighting that is not a good thing and can land otherwise good people in jail... or the morgue. I’m talking about the kind of fighting that goes on in relationships. Whether you’re romantically involved or as brothers and sisters, striking out at each other does not end well.
Last night Amazon Sage dream travelled to the source of a relatively new kind of relationship fighting; that is when teens abuse each other while dating. Jen thought it was cute when she punched Jerod and he’d hold her back. We all know that girls are just as capable of hitting as boys so right out front I want to say “Cut it out, girls.” In case you haven't noticed, there is quite a difference in size between teenage boys and girls and if the boy is not smart enough to dump a girl who hits, he may just swing back and the results can be deadly.
Rule of thumb: If he or she hits, pushes, throws, or degrades, dump ‘em! Nobody is cute enough or charming enough to take a chance that they’re not the next “Ten Most Wanted.” Want proof? Look at photos of serial killers and you’ll see some who look “nice”. An example is H.M. Robinson. He raped and killed three women by the time he was 19!
So fight the good fight when it comes to equal rights for all or justice for the oppressed. Be a warrior for peace. But in relationships... hands off unless it’s the gentle touch of love.
