Violence

One day, violence will be the downfall of us. We are humans, scared humans, flawed humans, and reckless humans. Violence is an impact on our world history. We wouldn't have discovered land without violence. Does that make it any better? Of course not.

I can't talk for any other religions of my own because I'm not well known in any other religion. In Islam, violence is talked in the Quran, but maybe not in the way you think. Violence by people who tried to hurt our prophet(Muhammad) with rocks or stones, who hated him for 'brainwashing' the town. When you hate someone or scared of someone, your first instinct is to hurt them.

Think about it. If someone were to come to your house in the middle of the night and you didn't know who they were, would you hurt them? Possibly(Be for real guys). We don't have time to ask them who they are. Maybe she was just a poor woman scorning for food. We will never know because we hit her with a pan on the kitchen counter.

Violence came between the son's of Adam(I'm not sure if they're talked about in any other holy book besides the Quran. Tell me if I'm wrong). It was the beginning of a revolution, the first death of mankind.

We people have the skills and body for violence, although we don't have to choose to be violent. I think in some of these ways do I admire Martin Luther King Jr. Violence wasn't the answer for him, but he still managed to spellbound many hearts with his words.

Whenever the Quran ever told of a battle, Prophet(Muhammad) would always tell his followers to never harm women or children.

In Social Media, woman are seen in Islam as housewives living in the Middle Ages. That is not true. Woman are always looked upon without having to worry about their body. We are protected(In some places, we sadly aren't). We cover ourselves(We are not forced to) so we don't have to worry about hungry glances. We should be proud of our body without someone telling us how awesome it is. We already know it is.

Violence is everywhere. We may not want it, but it will always be here. Every religion has a history of violence, but that is completely fine. Sometimes we can fight are way through with fists. We can do that all the time, but the best are the ones in the end who choose to use their voice. Your voice is more powerful than your body.
