The Beast Resides In Each Of Us
In each of us resides an ugly beast capable of damage and destruction. A beast that can taunt, terrify and torture a fellow human being. A beast that can kill and feel no remorse, inflict pain and feel no guilt. This beast is asleep until awakened by reasons no one can tell with certainty.
It could be uncontrollable anger, deep hatred or even perverse pleasure to see another suffer. These characteristics could be so deep seated and surface anytime or at any point in a person's life. What separates the person who lets the beast take control and someone who tames the beast?. Can the beast actually be controlled?.
There are many ways to prevent the beast from taking hold and extract revenge or cause grievous harm of some kind. Support and understanding that are constant, consistent and communicative. Deep relaxation, release oneself from worries and unfounded fears. To believe and have hope to live.
However, nothing is ever so straightforward. It is unfortunate that the beast sometimes overpowers and is in control over some people. Relevant and responsible help must be sought to tame the beast in such instances. These people need our trust and compassion. They fight a battle that is difficult and a willingness to understand their struggle is important in order to extend the necessary help.
The rest who feel guilt after a wrongdoing or remorse after behaving cruelly, the beast is still listening... To the voice of reason. The beast knows to back down and silently let matters be without acting on impulse or reflex.
All of us walk a thin line between acting on our impulses and reasoning. The provocation and temptation to let the beast take over and wreak havoc is just a hair's breadth away. The mad and crazy world help tip the scale towards violence rather quickly for most people now. The beast is lurking near, ready to spring out. Beware, Be Aware.
