Many countries are engaged in civil war, especially in Africa, and children grow up having bullets for breakfast, lunch and supper. They are educated in knowing nothing else but war. It is their first and only education.
I pity them. Most of them will never get a proper education. They are indoctrinated into believing certain things and we label them murderers, rapists and thieves. They are being defined by what they do, which I think is unfair. Think about it, is it fair to them to say ‘you are what you do’, when they don’t have a choice. Their lives are not their own.
I think that was a bit hectic for a blog, but the truth. I also know most of you won’t agree with me. However the point is, there are some instances in which we can define people by what they do and other times you simply cannot judge.
We are what we do, yes our actions define us, and ‘actions speak louder than words’. Many will agree with that. However our actions aren’t always our intentions.
