Anger is one of the emotions similar in humans and animals but where animals cannot control themselves as they do not have the same level of thinking ability as us humans, yet we fail to possess it and act violently without being able to accumulate the consequences. Since we are a more mature, intellectual, and smart species, we find anger in things where animals cannot. We do not only fight over food or land but also we are angry on color, culture, gender, poor, weak, powerless, etc. Which laid the foundation of a never-ending war for freedom and justice.

We created a world where a woman was hated since her birth, she had to fight to be placed at least somewhere in the society and she was murdered at birth, raped, tortured, abused, and burned alive. She had to survive. Gender-based violence is a global crisis even today, one in three women will experience physical or sexual abuse. According to statistical data of, over 47,000 females globally were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. According to this, on average, a female is being killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. Are you sure women don’t need to be protected anymore?

We created differentiation over cultural beliefs, language, religion and color. We basically questioned people’s existence. We cannot adjust with the fact that someone is different from us instead we decided to be antipathetic and considered others below us.

America in the 19th century shows a great example of hatred for anything as simple as color, the brutal behavior towards the needy and helpless, and how a human equally important as another was turned into a slave and was exploited. Another such example is Hitler’s aversion over race, he murdered from 15,003,000 to 31,595,000 people, most likely 20,946,000 men, women, handicapped, aged, sick, prisoners of war, forced laborers, camp inmates, critics, homosexuals, Jews, Slavs, Serbs, Germans, Czechs, Italians, Poles, French, Ukrainians, and many others. Among them, 1,000,000 were children under eighteen years of age and none of these monstrous figures even include civilian and military combat or war-deaths.

Britain ruled India for about 200 years, a period that was marred with extreme poverty and famine. And over this time period, we were considered inferior to them and were treated with great animosity. They drew swords over innocents. For instance, the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre 1919, in which British troops fired on a large crowd of unarmed Indians in an open space. What was their fault? They were barely existing without food, land, or any other resources.

All these examples ended with the same thing, “violence against violence for the battle of freedom”. They chose barbarity as an answer for all their problems. “Are they free now? The hatred once began has reached its end? Are we really civilized? Do we reside on the land where LOVE is a lost word?”

Violence spares none, not even a child. The smallest mistake by a child is rewarded with a slap by no one else but parents. Who are they so piqued at? someone not even half their age, someone who is yet learning, trying to acquire knowledge from this world little by little and the first thing they learn is that the ones who say they love them the most are always on their feet avidly waiting for them to make one mistake and they will answer it with ferocity. The FFY 2019 data translate to a rate of 2.5 children per 100,000 children in the general population and an average of more than 5 children dying every day from abuse or neglect and the findings of the study were published in the 'Journal of Family Violence' that one-fifth (22.5 percent) of adults who were exposed to chronic parental domestic violence during childhood developed a major depressive disorder at some point in their life. This was much higher than the 9.1 percent of those without a history of parental domestic violence. (More is available on www.WHO.com). Are you sure you are trying to protect your children?

Instances of violence are too many to be summed up. It is one of the greatest flaws in our society. A problem which is without any logical motive. It has emerged through denseness. It is something alarming and needs an immediate action by us ourselves. 

“What’s the point of living, if all we do is hurt each other?”
