How can a father be this wicked?!

I have been observing the BCH market since today like a hawk observing its prey, I am waiting for the best time to dive in and quickly sell some of my BCH. I have been planning on selling for over 2 months now but I haven't because I am waiting for it to pump but I have realized it isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Not to dash anybody's hope but it will take a very long time (maybe a year or two) before we can see BCH rise to around $300. For now, we will continue having this war between the bears and the bulls, and the price will keep ranging between $110 and $180, maybe it will get to $200 before December. I later realized I don't have to keep looking at the market to know when it gets to a reasonable price, I just created an alert for that.

Now if it gets to $140, I will be alerted, but what if I'm sleeping when that happens? 😆 BCH added $10 to its price today and performed way more than BTC, I'm hoping it will repeat the same thing tomorrow 🥶. It's like I am getting carried away and deviating from the main topic, let me steer things in that direction, today's topic is about something that isn't talked about that much

Mental health!

I was on nairaland earlier today when I saw a very disturbing news title: A Father Kills His 2 Children With Stones And Sticks. I instantly knew something is definitely wrong with the father because it's not every day you hear of a father killing his children with stones! I opened the news article and as usual with nairaland, they included the photos of the dead children with stones all around them, my heart sank

What could have pushed someone to murder his own children in that matter? Those kids suffered greatly because the father would have hit them repeatedly before they died. For him to do something like that can only mean one thing: he is mentally ill. I later found out that his wife separated from him a few months ago because of a misunderstanding, my question is; why didn't she take the children?

I believe mothers are the best at raising children and they should only be denied that opportunity if they are irresponsible and may end up endangering the lives of the children but in this case, the father is the deranged one who shouldn't have been left with kids. Mental health is something that's not always been talked about until something goes wrong, just like in this case.

A person might look normal but after spending time with them, you will realize they are not quite alright up there. I'm pretty sure if the mother of those children were still around, she would have figured out that the husband is mentally ill. Mental illness is just like a physical illness, you can't hide it from someone you spend most of your time with.

A mentally ill person is always prone to make rash decisions and actions that don't make any sense, a sudden change in their character will signal that there's something wrong within and they should quickly be given help before it's too late. Many people don't take mental health seriously as physical health because they believe mental illness is just a state of mind and anybody can come out of it.

But that isn't true in most cases; people who are mentally ill can't easily come out of it on their own because that will need a lot of mental strength and they won't be able to do that while suffering from mental illness. Mentally ill people shouldn't be left on their own, they can cause harm to themselves or another person.

You should note that there are different types of mental illness and a very common one is bipolar disorder. A person might look normal right now and the next minute they are acting super crazy and look like a maniac. People won't don't know what it is might just conclude from the symptoms that it's mood swings. Yes, it's a mood swing but it's a very extreme mood swing (mood swings that are on steroids!).

People with bipolar disorders are very dangerous when they are having an episode, they easily lose touch with reality and can't distinguish what's real from what's not. I will like to believe that this man that killed his children in that manner has bipolar disorder or another mental illness that shares similar symptoms to it, no sane person can do that to their own children.

We should always do all we can to take care of our mental health as well as our physical health. We shouldn't neglect it because we think it's not that important, meanwhile, it's as important as physical health and should be given the same amount of attention.

Thanks for reading 💖💖💖
