Stop Killing

By Paula O.M.Otukile

Gaborone, Botswana.

The people killed or killing today were there when a demise was widespread on print media or any form of social media or Facebook pages last week, today a future killer is watching today’s news of killing and think it’s trendy thing, it’s not leave that thought, you do not own a person, you are simply dating or married, if it doesn’t work out walk away. The killer does not rise and just kill, it’s a piling of emotions, ill thoughts, dark feelings and nihilism hit the person and they act on their killing plan.

No one was born a killer, certain things in terms of thoughts, dark thoughts overcome a man and he thinks killing will avenge his unsatisfied disappointment based on how they feel they have been belittled, robbed of fair treatment in love or life.

It has become a trend, but a mal and ugly trend. Think about your sister, your mother or lovely niece or girl child when you judge that person you met as an adult to have the full stop of your life based on them.

A man do not finish, a man can’t be done be out, because they used resources on a woman who now run away with other people. Fact is any human being a male or female got strength and power to make a come back. We know of men who lost it all and made a come back, that politician who lost it all, CEDA got his assets and lost cars, we know some whom as we speak are great business men again, “A man does not fall but stand or seat by his side!” It is a translation from Setswana saying “ Monna ga a we o a sekama!”

Do not let grief cloud your side, let’s learn to fight and fall in the midst of grief or loss. Great man such as Mandela failed in love too, married three times etc Circumstances pulled them aside, but they never killed women or hit their women because it did not work out, they simply moved on.

Love failed great singers Jlo or Jeniffer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Kanye West, but they pull themselves up and love again, this example comes to let you know it’s normal to break up and it’s normal to get a new partner.

Killing a person because they do not want you is an ugly gesture if not cruel. Women get married to big celebrities and divorce after a short period and get a share of their assets, they simply walk away, an example of big loss in love. Let’s tell our brothers and cousins to let her go if she wants, tell our brothers and cousins to stop killing and beating women is not cool.
