Once it is about others...

"He should not have responded in that manner"...

"He could not control his anger as a mature man "...

He should have done it this way or that way and blablabla... Well, this is exactly what has been going on after the Will Smith incident. If we are allowed to say how we feel about his actions, I believe a lot of us have so much contrary views toward his actions but can we take a minute of break?

Let's look at it this way. Put yourself in Will's shoes and think about what or how you would have reacted better. I have always known that humans find it so easy to condemn what they do not understand without making any effort to know. Just as it happened, the news went viral within minutes it was already in the nooks and crannies of the entire world. That was how everyone began to play the role of a judge in what could have served as a deterrent to other comedians. Being a comedian does not warrant a man to make fun of another's sorrows or misfortune, but a lot of people have not thought about that. The only thing they are looking at is the reaction and not the action.

Action and Reaction

I have always been an advocate of peace but that has never made me forget the fact that actions will always bring about reactions. You say you don't a child to insult, you better make sure not to give the child the opportunity to do so because whatever action you give will certainly determine the reaction you will receive. A simple instance is when you match on another person's toe and refuse to apologise, you are telling them to either fight back or insult you. This is why we must not allow our actions to give others the reason to react negatively toward us.

The case of Will Smith cannot be treated differently because it was also a case of action and reaction. It's even more baffling that a comedian will leave millions of other things to use as a comedy and focus on a man's sick wife right in the presence of both the man and his wife. I carefully watched the clip over and over again to know the wife's reaction when the joke was made. The frank, she was truly hurt by that joke because she stopped smiling the moment the joke came out. One thing I know is that she felt very happy that her husband stood up instantly for her. Whatever or however they want to see Will for his actions, the wife will always appreciate him for such a bold step.

Let's look at it from this angle. Why would a comedian make such a very costly joke on a stage as big as that? I believe he wanted to be seen as a daring comedian who will not fear or flinch when it comes to saying whatever comes to his mouth. I am very sure that he has learnt a very bitter lesson a hard way but the challenge is, will others learn too? Whether we accept it or not, the joke was not necessary not even at that time or another time. He completely lost the right to be treated as a normal person the moment he crossed that line and that was why Will Smith had to give him that very hot slap.

This brings me to the last point I will make in this post. If you are someone who does not want to be insulted or embarrassed in any way, you must make sure not to give people that opportunity to do so to you because you are addressed the way you dress. See the way you dress as the actions you portray therefore, you must take care not to act out of place at all times. Remember, once you have given others the privilege to insult you it may be hard for you to earn it back. Respect is earned not bought. So if you are among those saying that Will went too far with his actions, well, I believe we will have to see what you will do when you are found in a similar situation or even worse. You know, you cannot trust yourself hundred per cent until you have been tasted.

Thank you for your time and keep being real.
