This is neither news nor difficult to understand.

ATTENTION is the life force behind which people live and breathe. That's it. It really is that simple. Take your attention completely off something and it ceases to exist. Place your attention on it and the breath of life is blown into it.

Notice I said "attention", not kindness or happiness. Attention serves the same purpose, be it good or bad. Attention = life.

It is so very simple yet so few people put this into practice in their daily lives.

Substitute "people" for wimminez, and I would agree.

because you made an assumption, i said nothing about women beating. but now, i will. women who let that happen to them are just as responsible....once is an assault. twice is a lifestyle choice....

You make good points on both counts. I'll admit that. It is very unfortunate but also sadly true. It's especially tragic when kids are involved in that equation.

I dont think so. When do you ever hear of men sticking around for more beatings from their wife or girlfriend LOL.

I do think there's different socio/sexual-economic reasons between the sexes for each choosing to stay in abusive relationships; for women it may be a matter of financial security, for men, some just enjoy a shoe to the ass or other ancillary parts.





Okay, that may be a bit flip and hyperbolic.

Common myth... there is no way for society to count this statis accurately because when the abuse goes the other way there is an even GREATER stigma of shame associated. Not only is the man thought to be stoopid (as the women are told they are) but they are thought of as LESS THAN MEN.

And I personally know of such a case. He was a man who worked for my ex and I. His wife BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM... dude was hyuge (and his wife was no small woman) but he laid there and took it.

The only reason we knew is because he got beat up so bad that he couldn't come to work for a few days, his wife put him in the emergency room. First she hit him with a metal teapot in the head - (eye specifically) then she hit him hard in the nuts. While he was wrything on the floor in pain she kicked him a few times.

They had two kids, the oldest was 9. YOU THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE DID THIS TO HIM?
