I understand when you lose the plot, but I promise you a slap won't get the message across
For meaning does not come from the hand, it can only grow from your intended plan!

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this after seeing a child get a slap and used my emotions the right way... I could of gone so much deeper with this but thought I'd leave it as it was written... For any that may think its okay to hit to get your message across, I hope for your sake you don't meet that same mentally... Thought I'd share what my hands now do to undo all negative memories mussels can hold! Humans are just the same, see your program and break our chains..

Good write and clip Dan.
Always appreciated my friend! Hope Fido enjoyed it too lol
Well said Dan
Powerful message
No need to do unto others what was done to us in a different era
You know it buddy!
Much respect!
Three kids and I only slapped one of them once after he said something bad about his mother. The slap was not premeditated, came out of nowhere and I still regret it today so many years later. My son though later said he deserved it.
Very well written PD and I agree with you despite my one slip!
Before I had my first kids I was 20 and the wife's nephew slapped me and without thinking I slapped him back!! I honestly will never forget that moment as for my own I still had to learn that we can still create the same fear without being physically done! That was still a step to far and a lesson that holds no regret or shame, as long as we keep trying to change!
Not sure where that came from, having a strange day! Lol
When reading it last night, I thought of many moments to let go off!
Cheers buddy!
Always appreciate your time
So true Dan.

Always appreciated my friend
such a true point, especially the 'intended' element of your message,
sadly we are all subjected to varied childhood's and thus instilled with such differing fundamentals to that core foundation we establish - as to the true worth of a life, of other's and especially our own,
I have found those with little self-respect tend to demonstrate the cruellest of outwardly symptoms, as-if in each act of brutality they indulge - they are daring for anything within existence to stop them, because when they experienced whatever ill-fate imbued such hate - within them: nothing came to their aid...
while those with a much more 'humane' foundation of self-worth have the 'luxury/ability' to empathise the consequences of their actions, they know how shocking physical pain is: when it's experienced rarely...
a brilliantly simplified write, to what is a deeply complex and disturbingly common aspect of human nature,
thank you for inspiring my little scribbled reply, hope I interpreted the sentiment's in you write accurately
Wow.... That would of taken me ages to write as you have! Yes I can see so perfectly what you said to "no hand help them" "hoping it would come" outstanding.... I did suffer from childhood violence in the home and I'll be honest I really struggle not to just go and slap anyone I see doing this!!
Even worse when it's inside extended family (as this was) but as you pointed out massive cultural differences!
I feel I have, inspired by you (thanks) learnt animal psychology not just to help me and my son but so I could keep trying to show that as you so delightfully scribbled...
Our inner child can make this so less complex but to connect to an adult is a different subject!!
This was honestly the best comment to keep me heading in the direction I choose!
This wiser old fool has nothing to lose....
Thank you again
Always appreciate your time!
