Lately, or for quite some years now, I've been deeply troubled by the epidemic of domestic violence against women and the tragic loss of so many beautiful souls. It's disheartening to see so much violence perpetrated by men who are out on bail or parole or who are violating AVO orders. This needs to end immediately; there should be no tolerance for violence against any woman or anyone for that matter. The idea that someone could take another human's life is beyond my comprehension, especially when, just hours, days, or weeks before, they professed a deep love for their partner or person. It's imperative that women and society as a whole are safeguarded from these cowardly perpetrators. Those who have committed such violence should not be granted bail or parole; the legal system needs to take a much firmer stance.
This violence against women is just a piece of a larger puzzle of violence against all people. It's something I witness every day, these little acts here and there, the way some individuals treat others simply because of what they possess, believing they're entitled to behave however they please. Then there's the ongoing strife fueled by religious differences, with groups still fighting and killing because they believe their faith is superior. But let me tell you, it's not. We're all equal, all the same, though our physical attributes may vary.
In light of the rampant partner violence and horrifying murders happening globally, it's clear that action must be taken. We can't continue living in a society where we're constantly looking over our shoulders, afraid to go about our daily lives, whether it's going to school, the supermarket, or the mall. Violence must cease, and the laws governing it must be significantly stricter.
On a smaller scale, but deeply impactful nonetheless, was the break-in at my café, an experience I've mentioned in a previous blog. Having a man stand there, threatening to shoot me if I moved, hurling profanities, it was terrifying. In the aftermath, I tried to brush it off, telling everyone I was fine, but inside, I was far from okay. I guess it's a sometimes male response, trying to appear tough externally while feeling shattered inside. Even now, just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine and leaves me with an emptiness inside. But the question remains: why did those men do it? What gave them the right to vandalise the place and instil such fear in me? I had never wronged them in any way. In just three minutes, my life was turned upside down.
This incident was what brought me back to the broader issue of violence against women. Hearing the horrifying details of how women have been treated and the brutalities inflicted upon them is incomprehensible. These individuals, these monsters, have no place among us. Crimes against women must come to a complete halt. Men have no authority to treat women as inferior. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we are all equal, and we should treat each other with respect. If you don't like someone, or someone doesn't like you, that's okay. Still, respect should be maintained. We don't have to resort to violence; there's always a better way. We do not have to hate or dislike anyone. All we do is distance ourselves from people who do not value us.
Violence against women is often perpetrated by men who lack the courage to confront another man, instead seeking to exert their perceived heroism and male dominance over what they perceive as the weaker sex.
In my many conversations with divine and celestial beings, a recurring topic is the state of affairs on Earth, particularly regarding violence against women. They convey to me that this scourge is a creation of humanity, originating from the upper echelons of power and trickling down to ordinary individuals. Those at the top set a precedent of superiority, leading others to believe they are above their fellow beings and thus justified in committing horrific acts against them. It's akin to a parasitic elite at the head of the snake, spreading their venomous influence throughout society.
These days, I make a conscious effort to show respect to all women, though I'll admit that it can be challenging at times. However, if I encounter a difficult woman or anyone for that matter, as I mentioned earlier, my approach is to create distance. It's not about harbouring hate or passing judgment; it's simply about maintaining a respectful boundary.
If I were granted another wish, alongside my long-standing desire for world peace, it would be for women of all races to receive the respect they rightfully deserve. Let's hope that men can recognise the importance of treating women with the dignity and equality they're entitled to.
In Love, Light and Blessings.
