Am I Peacable?

I looked up the word to use it correctly. The Cambrige Dictionary gives the meaning peacable as : to liking or involving fighting or argument. Am I peacable? I don’t really like to fight or argue. I get upset when I hear someone shouting at another person. Conflict and I were never friends. I got into scrapes only on behalf of others. When I realised that people took advantage of my kindness, I began to stand up for myself and tried to be assertive. That took time to learn and I ended up being aggressive instead. I’ve learned otherwise. (100 words)

I’ve learned not to argue with people especially about important issues. There are things one can have two different views about. But there are some things that there’s no arguing about – like freedom and justice. For a while, I thought it was worth telling people off, telling how wrong they were. When the Indian government violently went after protesting students in Universities, I couldn’t be quiet. I was upset that others were. Does being peacable mean that we keep quiet when things are wrong? No. But merely venting on social media won’t help either, will it? (100 words)

I’m still trying to find an appropriate way to peacefully stand up against wrong-doing? Have you found one?

I’ve re-started the 100WordsOnSaturday here. The feature will be around social causes/ special days/special causes.
