It's been with total dismay and disappointment that I have watched the strong and mighty submit to the weak dressed in a regalia known as blackmail. I have personally found out that blackmail thrives where mistake, fear, cowardice, and lies prevail.
These are my observations and humble conclusions regarding this battle between the fear and the truth:
- Everyone makes mistakes (although some could argue that their mistakes are way greater).
- There is nothing TOTALLY new under the sun. Most mistakes and situations have occurred in the lives of others.
- The best way to handle a problem/ correct a mistake is to face it. Postponing facing a challenge until morrow will leave one in a greater fear.
- Succumbing to a blackmail is as good as being locked up in jail for a life time. Blackmailers do not stop.
- Succumbing to blackmail temporarily with the intention of overpowering your blackmailer will only give him/her and so many other blackmailers the power to blackmail others tomorrow.
- Always think of the worst that could happen if d truth is revealed and be ready to face it. The truth liberates.
- Most times, the harsh effect of the truth would be cushioned if the truth is unveiled by you.
I have long said NO to blackmailing. Join this movement today as we say NO to blackmailing.
