When a tag (can) give courage?

Today, actress Melis­sa Benoist revea­led that she had been the vic­tim of domes­tic vio­lence. Let’s think about it for a moment. Vio­lence is a part of our DNA. We may be dis­gus­ted, hor­ri­fied, or even alar­med, but we can never make it go away. Hol­ly­wood pro­duc­tions charm us into thin­king vio­lence is attrac­tive when the good guys beat up the bad guys. On the other hand, when the vil­lains attack the good guys, we hope for revenge with all our heart.

I men­tio­ned domes­tic vio­lence in Monday’s post. https://coachdanny.ca/2019/11/25/diacontralaviolenciadegenero-internationaldayfortheeliminationofviolenceagainstwomen-solomotivation-mondaymotivation-mondaymorning-2/ Eve­ry­thing leads me to believe that it is pos­sible that pro­mo­ting this day makes acts of vio­lence emerge from the sha­dows. Howe­ver, it takes much more than just a tag that creates a bit of a buzz on Twit­ter. Often, people are infor­med of the situa­tion and they remain silent. This short post isn’t real­ly enough to ela­bo­rate on the sub­ject, but offe­ring sup­port to a per­son who is or has been a vic­tim of domes­tic vio­lence is some­thing that may allow them to take the first step towards freedom.

If you find your­self in this situa­tion, offer or seek the neces­sa­ry help that will give you the neces­sa­ry sup­port to put things back in order. Vio­lence will always be there, but that doesn’t mean we have to allow it to be mani­fes­ted in any way. Into­le­rance to vio­lence is the key to our growth.
