The Need For Self Defense
In Nigeria, robbery and kidnapping are on the increase. People no longer have the fear of God; they are only after their desires.
If it's not robbery, it's kidnapping, and sometimes in the process, the victims are terminated. It's a very pathetic situation.
Love is no longer in the hearts of many people. Sometimes it's not even to take anything from you, just a minor argument with someone, and the person is already trying to inflict an injury on you.
About three years ago, two boys in my community were arguing in a bar, and it got fierce. The next thing, one of them brought out scissors and stabbed his opponent. Sadly, the guy lost his life.
Sometimes, it also comes in the form of a bully; there are people whose job is to oppress others, and they make them feel so uncomfortable that they dread being around them.
They mock, threaten, criticize, and sometimes even beat those they perceive as weak and defenceless till these vulnerable ones find life unpleasant.
These things happen everywhere, and people are suffering from them everywhere.
Different religions and societies keep preaching against those evil acts, but there is no change. If we tell ourselves the truth, the only way out of this is through self-defense.
It sounds a bit tough, but it's time people learn how to defend themselves; otherwise, they would continually suffer in the hands of the wicked ones.
I heard that some countries allow citizens to have licensed weapons for self-defense, and I think that's a good idea, only that its disadvantages are high.
Death and crime will increase. I may not totally agree with allowing weapons, but knowing how to fight is a necessity.
Knowing how to talk is another way to defend ourselves, and this very one should be taught in schools and at home.
If you ask me if self-defense should be taught in schools, I'll say yes. It will go a long way to reduce the rate at which innocent people suffer at the hands of the wicked who believe that violence is a way of life.
I have been in different situations where I had to defend myself, and to be honest, some of the times, what I did was to look for a way to make peace by walking away the moment I got the chance.
It is said that “wisdom is profitable to direct.” We can't quench fire with fire. Some things require silence and walking away. These two are another method of self-defense.
I always advise that, unless it is necessary, we should always consider looking for an escape route rather than trying to fight back. Many lost their lives in trying to fight something they could have allowed to just slide.
Self-defence is good, and everyone should learn different ways to defend themselves, but wisdom must be applied. Know when to walk out, when to stay, when to fight, and when to simply remain quiet.

Thank you so much💪😘😍
Awesome work @emreal! Your dedication and hard work are making a big impact on Hive. Keep buzzing!
The world is really really unsafe, those countries that allow citizens to own weapons sure knew what they were doing, your option of not fighting back isn't consideration at all times, well that's my take.
Smile. It's not bad to allow weapons just that sometimes it might also be a reason for more trouble. Thank for stopping by ma
I agree with you, self defense is very necessary in this life whether as a skill or protection mechanism.
And again, you see this learning how to talk and briddling the tongue, it is very important.
Sometime ago, i heard of an individual that lost her tongue because she said certain things that ought not to be said in a public vehicle.
She was traced to her house where they dealt with her leading to the lost of her tongue.
!WEIRD
Hmm, this world is scary, I feel sorry for the lady. Knowing how to fight is necessary for survival in our day.
Exacrly. You are correct. We need to put up resilience and wear a thick skin to challenges that want to weigh us down.
We keep on #Stayingaliveandthriving
Yes, self-defence is really important, and something that everyone should learn as a skill. Like you stated, it can be in form of words too, not always getting physical.
The other route you took on this subject is nice. Choosing peace of possible over fighting. That's noteworthy. “Wisdom is profitable to direct” indeed. Sometimes l, going that route is the best defence.
Hehehe, bro, sometimes finding a way to leave peacefully is the best option o..
Thanks man
You're welcome man.
