Awareness of Domestic Violence in Your Name shall be Tanga: A Beyalean interpretation

Abstract

It is agreed upon that most individuals believe themselves that they have compassion for others, and if they do not harm anyone, they themselves have practiced non-violent action. Yet these individuals do grant no attention and importance to the corrupt thoughts and feelings lying within the self. It seems obvious, in this sense, that cleaning up the self becomes a useless act. This way, the particular individuals, albeit their committed violence, consider themselves passive subjects. Such category of people is a concrete specimen of the commotion permeating the world. For, according to Neil Wollman’s[1], understanding violence is the action or the structural arrangement that results in physical or non-physical harm to one or more persons. He identifies a set of violence’s characteristics including it as harm to humans; he goes further arguing that the action which causes harm is purposefully done, perpetuated or condemned. Man has to be selective when using his power, and attentive in deciphering his conception about the fundamentals in order to be wise to develop a certain understanding over the meaning of non-violence, otherwise, it would be almost impossible to relinquish to violence.

The view that man adopts to soothe and/or harm others makes him forsake discerning perceptiveness and begin to look outwards. In this sense, man starts accumulating external instruments and agents’ thinking that success, ineluctably, lies in acquiring, to a certain extent, means and materials. One should understand, thereafter, that he/she would gain a given power at the expense of one’s weakness, yet has not to allege that external means and materials are the only ultimate forces that remain central to the self (the central element the self focuses on).
