Women can be very hateful and recently it has really begun to churn my stomach. We can be brutal. If a woman is seemingly perfect, rather than giving her props, we find ways to tear her down, we talk about her and rather than finding out things that are going great for her, we try to sort through and report the negatives.
I dislike the word “hater” but what else can you call it? We tend to aim to kill with our words, back stabbing demeanors and even our quest to harm. Becoming an enemy of a woman is like signing a death threat or volunteering to be a firing squad dummy. We must seek to uplift, to build, to help and to restore. I have done my fair share of gossiping in the past and have said things that have hurt and harmed others, but I have learned this is not the way.
This was brought to my attention through talks with girlfriends, and the viewing of shows such as “Bad Girls Club, Basketball Wives and the New Love and Hip-Hop.” It seems the show should be called “How Nasty Can You Be,” since all it seems that the women do is defile one another, talk badly about each other and seek to destroy! So why the heck is it made to look so attractive? Its because we have dropped the ball in teaching what is right and just, we have lost sight of holding ourselves accountable for what we say, and in many ways we think we are invincible. We have also resorted to practices of stealing others men, sleeping with whoever and have lost a lot of our self love, so this is the way that we must pay!
So I pledge that I will see to uplift and do no harm to my sister (whether black, white etc.). I will make the effort to stop foul thoughts about others and support positivity and truth. Will you pledge with me?
Blessings.
