On Pride and protection

Have you ever seen anyone that’s cornered, battered or bruised, constantly looking over their shoulder in fear?
Tired and scared even of their own shadow?

I have.

Just open your eyes and look around. It’s the same for animal or man. When you’ve been beaten down once too often, there are only two options – Either you roll over and die or you get back up and defend yourself.
Either option is bloody and negative.

The outcome can change if we change.
Stop the hurting. Intervene with love, affection, understanding, awareness….

Do you have it in you do that?
