Sleeping 1am in the morning yesterday because of a YM talk with a friend and then waking up early for church gave me a headache and a dose of drowsiness. But the thought of having a new found friend and knowing her deeper, somehow gave me a lift but at the same time, troubled me. Why? Our conversation reached to her tormenting experiences in the past and establishing her trust on me about confidential matters, she shared it.
My friend was date-raped.
Reading her messages shook my nerves and dimmed my eyes with tears of grief. Being part of an adolescent reproductive health advocacy for almost a year now, I felt a deep anger and resentment to the one who did it to her and generally, to all the paranoidic, irresponsible, foolish men who dates women with a single objective - SEX or worse, RAPE.
Apparently, these cases are very common nowadays. You watch them on televised news reports, you read them on mainstream press and even in alternative press publications, you listen about these on radios and even hear it from people talking along the streets.
The respect, concern, love and sacrifice the women deserve from men is deteriorating hastily. I would greatly appreciate it if we would mark stigma to the men who do this. Or curse them and screw them into damnation. Wait, maybe we can use voodoo and stab the heart quickly, aye?
Questions unrelentingly bungle my mind while these situations are getting worse and worse as time passes by. How I hope capital punishment wasn't abolished! It's God's way and He was objective about that and that command was not unstructured! God is a structured Writer and He means what He wrote and He wrote what He means.
If God was a subjective, inaccurate God, He would have written the 10 Suggestions instead of the 10 Commandments!
The world must have become a better safer place for men and women if that Command was firmly implemented and wasn't obscured at all!
Think about that now. The evil event that happened to my friend damaged her - not just physically but also emotionally. It might also often disturb her mentally and psychology as she come to remember those things. Well I believe it's not easy to forget about that certain incident.
Men, wake up! Are you not dismayed?
