OLAKUNLE SORIYAN @olakunlesoriyan WAS OUR 1ST GUEST SPEAKER ON THE SEPTEMBER EDITION OF #AARTALK. HE SHARED ON "PHYSICAL ABUSE ISSUES"
I will say that ABUSE of ANY KIND is a REALITY...There'll always be those SMALL MINDED enough to USE it as their TOOL of IMPORTANCE.
ABUSE is ONE of the INSTRUMENTS the WEAK LIFE employs to define his or her IMPORTANCE in the defence of a WEAK SOULICAL CONTENTS. The ABUSER must however be UNDERSTOOD as YESTERDAY'S ABUSE VICTIM that LACKED the PRIVILEGE of TRANSFORMATIVE THERAPY & HEALING. Both the ABUSED & the ABUSER are VICTIMS of the UN-GUARDEDNESS & SELF -CENTEREDNESS of the TRUSTED ADULTS of their JOURNEY of LIFE.. Though an UNPOPULAR thought, the ABUSER is an ENTITY our WORLD will ALWAYS WORRY about but will ALWAYS HAVE...its a SAD CONSTANT. As LONG as HUMAN BEINGS remain FRAIL SPECIES..our COLLECTIVE SOULS will CONTINUE to FEEL and ENDURE the ABUSER's NUISANCE-VALUE. Though a TORMENTING thought...the QUESTION about WHEN the NEXT ABUSER will be REVEALED is a LEGITIMATE QUESTION..its a SAD CONSTANT. The FOCUS on ELIMINATING the ABUSER&ERADICATING ABUSE is a SOOTHING but IMPOSSIBLE IDEA&a SMART MOVE of EVIL to DISTRACT our FOCUS. As soon as we are able to ACCEPT ABUSE as a CONSTANT in ALL SOCIETIES..then ZEALOUS FOCUS on the ABUSER's EVIL is a WEAK STRATEGY. While NO CONTROL EXIST over the EMERGENCE of the ABUSER..EMPATHETIC EDUCATION to the ABUSER&today's UN-ABUSIVE can ALLEVIATE the EVIL. ORGANIZED & ZEALOUS FOCUS on PREVENTIVE & SAFETY EDUCATION for TODAY'S UN-ABUSED is CRITICAL for the BALANCE we SEEK. Today's UN-ABUSIVE SOUL is tomorrow's SURE CHRONIC ABUSER, If we don't get MORE INNOVATIVE & STRATEGIC about HOW the ABUSER is JUDGED. Yet...NO EMPATHY towards the ABUSER can REDUCE or DISCOUNT the BURDEN & EVIL ALL ABUSE bring & NONE can HEAL the SOUL of the ABUSED. CHANGE EFFORTS address the ABUSED&CHANGE EFFORTS address the ABUSER; but ALMOST ZERO-EFFORT is on the EDUCATION of TODAY'S UN-ABUSIVE. HEALING EFFORTS for the ABUSED MUST GO UP...PUNISHMENT for the ABUSER MUST be SURE but HEALING the ABUSER MUST also get on the PLATE. We've 5 CONSTITUENCIES: the ABUSED..ABUSER..TODAY'S UN-ABUSED..TODAY'S UN-ABUSIVE..and ALL CONCERNED ENTITIES..They ALL NEED EDUCATION. Yes..True. The challenge with PARENTS is that they're UNAWARE of the TRUTH that 21st Century PARENTING is NO LONGER a GIFT of NATURE. Today's PARENTS just FORGET that 21st Century PARENTING is NOT a GIFT...it's a SKILL. PHYSICAL ABUSE is the IGNORANT PARENT'S WAY of BEATING OUT a CHILD'S NATURAL GIFT of FEARLESSNESS, SPONTANEITY & CURIOSITY. My personal STUDIES SHOW that 90% of PARENTS NEVER CORRECT their CHILDREN in their LIFE TIME...They ONLY PUNISH. Somehow...parents HAVE NOT the EDUCATION that PUNISHMENT is NOT CORRECTION. CORRECTION is a SKILL..and PUNISHMENT is an IN-BALANCE of NATURE in that ANY FOOL CAN PUNISH. CORRECTION's OBJECTIVE is the TRANSFORMATION of the OFFENDER..PUNISHMENT is however for the PUNISHER to FEEL BETTER. ALL CORRECTION carry a LEVEL of PUNISHMENT,but NOT ALL PUNISHMENT have a CORRECTIVE QUALITY. This is the ABUSE GAP. NO ONE ever NEEDS FORMAL TRAINING to KNOW HOW to PUNISH...But CORRECTION requires a FORM of INTENTIONAL EDUCATION. PUNISHMENT is the POWER of an AGGRIEVED PERSON to give a PERCIEVED OFFENDER an EQUAL EXPERIENCE of his GRIEF..it is NOT CORRECTION. TEACHERS in most 3rd World environments became teachers to DEFEND their ECONOMICS..the STOMACH is the MOTIVATION. Trust me...TEACHERS are VICTIMS of a HIGHER kind of ABUSE. They LACK the RESOURCES & REWARD their HUMANITY DESERVED. How do you make MILLIONS per year...and PAY a HOUSE HELP the WEAK AMOUNT you PAY..and still EXPECT the HELP to THINK like you? ALL GOOD WAGES MUST HELP the WORKER to MEET his BASIC NEEDS...GIVE to his WORLD..& to SAVE. The WAGES that FAILS this TEST is a TRAP. SUMMARY THOUGHT: ALL ACTIVISM against ABUSE MUST SEEK the EDUCATION of the ABUSED..ABUSER..TODAY'S UNABUSIVE &TODAY'S UNABUSED. Thanks2ALL..TOO MUCH to share...ANOTHER DAY will COME. But we ALL MUST NOTE that the ALLEVIATION of ABUSE is the DUTY of ALL. Thanks.
