Moral courage

If I hear someone beating their mother, I get mad! How can a son/ daugther be so disrespectful and have so little honor and beat his own mother?

Should he/ she not be grateful to his mother, because thank you he/ she owes his life to her. He/ she grew up under her heart for nine months, was born in pain and grew up loving and protected. She sacrificed everything so that he/ she could have a good and fulfilling life. She never looked after herself because the wellbeing of her son or her daugther was important to her.

And how thanks to this dishonorable man/ woman it to her? They beats her up without batting an eyelid. Without having a guilty conscience! Probably he/ she feels so big and strong because he/ she has "the power", because it submits to him/ her. 

And who will help the poor woman? No one! Everyone is watching. Nobody comes to her aid. Nobody protects her from this monster. And why? Out of fear? Out of disinterest? 

Have you ever heard of moral courage? 

How would you react if you found out that your sister, mother or brother is insulted, beaten and severely beaten? What would you do? Also watch? Wait until something worse happens? Or act and intervene? 

It doesn't matter if you know the person or not! Do something, intervene when someone is wronged! Get your finger out of your ass and act! Stand up for the weaker! Be your protective shield, their rock in the surf or the lifesaver in need. 

Who knows what else will happen ... at some point the woman won't come out of the house alive because the son/ daughter has lost control. And then? 

Is it none of your business? Isn't it just an insignificant human life? YOU ARE WRONG! Each of us is in the world to do our best every day to stand up for the weaker. 

Because if you don't care about anything except your own life, one day you won't be able to look at yourself in the mirror, because nobody wants to be friends with such a selfish asshole or even be in a relationship!

So think about what would you wish for if you were the victim. Wouldn't you also be grateful for any help available to you?
Please DO NOT LOOK AWAY when you see wrongdoing.
