This morning, I read about the unfortunate death of a 33 year old man, Terrell L Bruce, in Philadelphia. He was killed by his 27 year old ex girlfriend, Martina Westcott, as they both drove through a neighbourhood. He was driving and she was in the passenger seat when she shot him in the head.
Reason? He broke up with her and she was furious.
When I read about stories like these, I wonder... Why do people kill the same people they claim to have loved?
Why kill them when you can do better???
Why kill them when you can show them what they are missing?
An acquaintance once told me how she had been living with her fiance for 8 months only to find out (by accident) that he had gone to pay bride price for a girl who was pregnant for him. According to her, she said that was the day she realised it's actually easy to kill someone. The only thing that had stopped her was that she had confided in her mother and her mother had succeeded in talking sense into her. I was shocked. That's probably why we aren't close friends today. At that time, I told her.. You'd be a fool to give up your life and dreams for someone so undeserving.
There are stories of men who mutilate their women just because she wants to leave. Remember the story of the girl who's former boyfriend poured her acid? Stories like these abound everywhere..
Why not make them pay by doing better? Work on yourself. Lose weight. Get an education. Work hard. Make money. Acquire a skill. Dress better. Live healthier. Find someone better.
Let them motivate you into becoming the best you can possibly be. So that when you walk into a room in which they are seated... they can't help but think... "I can't believe I missed all this awesomeness!"
