I’m not an aggressive person at all and I’ve never looked for conflict for a thrill. The only thing that can make me act is Injustice. This week I faced it.
This week I was on the beach with my friends (talking of quarantine, I live with my friends and we keep the distance). We had a picnic and we noticed the family in 20 meters away from us. The mother and the father were sitting in chairs, and their child, a boy about the age of 5, was playing with the sand.
I remember my friend said: “Is it...is it a hamster there?”, unfortunately, it WAS a hamster the boy was playing with in the sand. The boy, obviously, was not sensible enough, neither were his parents...
He treated hamster violently, buried him in the sand, threw(don’t really want to remember it again).
Sadly or not, my reaction in repressing situation is freezing, I don’t do anything, the mind turns off. However, in that moment I thought I NEED TO DO SOMETHING, TO SAY SOMETHING AT LEAST.
I sat thinking for 10 minutes about what exactly I should say and how to compose my thoughts. After a while, I moved in their direction silently, and said “Maybe you haven’t noticed but your child is torturing the hamster, please, control that, because it’s horrifying” (and stuff like that, I hardly remember my words precisely)
For me it was really hard to change my behaviour in situations I have pattern of acting. I’ve realised that I can say that something is wrong, inappropriate and I can change it.
