Violence Justified???

Violence is never the answer, and shouldn’t be part of the solution. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth will leave the world toothless and blind, and no one would want to live in a world that’s gone blind, it would be difficult to live in a world gone blind.

Violence should never be encouraged, never be tolerated, should never go unabated. We have no right to cause harm to something that’s not ours, and even if it ours. Violence is never justified, can never be justified. If you have been wronged, take the right course of action, not let your emotions get the better of you.

The past couple of years it’s sad to see the increasing number of attacks on medical practitioners, and the lack of protection given to them from distraught relatives, who go on a violent rampage. Vandalism and violence are not justified expressions of grief, they show a descent into barbarism, takes a million steps backward. Won’t say you’re reverting back to being animals as animals only attack when they are threatened, and here you are the ones who is doing the threatening. 

If you think you are wronged raise the issue through the right channels, lodge complaint. Harming someone, damaging property (that’s not yours in the first place), will not bring back what you’ve lost, will not help those to come, in fact it would do more harm. Your actions should help prevent future negligence, help someone not to go through what you’ve been through, and not harm someone grievously. It’s sad to see this happening, and the state and country not providing much safety and protection. Shows the country and state in a bad light, speaks of a sad state of affairs and apathy towards medical practitioners, especially those working in government facilities.

That said, is a strike justifiable. Wouldn’t a strike go against the oath you took. You have the right to be agitated, the right to be ask for protection, but strike would mean you’re not providing care for those who need it, in a way putting you in the grey. You can’t turn away the ones you’ve sworn to care for, because you’ve been harmed. Pick yourself, dust yourself off, fight for your right but at the same time do what’s right.

I really hope good sense prevails, lives saved, security provided, we turn back to being human, instead of being barbarian, order restored, cause we seemed to be going back into stone age (and I think stone men would behave better).
