??? and domestic violence cases are 50% of their misdemeanor cases. this was a very dangerous message. this is a call for all of us to use our voices. im not sure if im reading your message clearly, by "i cant fight it" does that mean, han...ds off let them do what they will? i understand that the word fight can evoke negative feelings in some that make them back off but this message rains on all of us. dear brother if i have misunderstood your response i apologize.

Message.meant no human can do anything when their blood boils correctly..we must began to b spiritual activist..sometimes we do reverse propagnda on ourself..instead of true information we just get hyped up and burnt out then we cant do the... true work ...believe me my work tells I how I feel about issue of domestiv violence..i hope u got to check out peaceovervilonce.org...i am teaching 25 kids yoga for 12 months as they prepare to become teen educators and go into the schools and do plays on isuues of domestic vilonce,sexual,abuse,bullying and teen stalking...

i do understand spiritual activism. i am it. when you say things like "instead of true information we just get hyped..." in the context of this conversation its a passive judgement. i was moved to create the post for many reasons one of whi...ch was a woman i saw with severe bruises that in the eyes of most would be considered a felony but was only counted as a small violation. as human beings use the tools we have to create peace. i am called to use my voice. thank you for who you are and the actions you take.
