Child Abuse a short story

Kelvin, I am in need of fresh blood. I mean vibrant blood. No, smooth blood, no soft skin. What am I even saying I want loquacious young breed," Kelvin said. Though he sounded unstable in his description. "I think you are suffering from malaria, no Malaysia, I mean you need to come out of your subconscious mind," this resorted to quarrel between this two men in their late seventies.

Funniest thing about Kelvin and Oko is that they are still looking under twenties rating their physical appearance and baggy clothes.

They have worked tirelessly at the plantain plantation all day long. They looked worn-out and frazzled. "I want to marry a second wife, Ego is the girl i want to marry, "said Kelvin with a fragile voice.

After a while Oko broke the silence. "are you alright? Ego that's still bed-wetting, Ego who is turning thirteen this year. Apparently she is a teen, that's Child Abuse, insanity, man inhumanity to man, in fact, stress is your problem, I will suggest drug to help you reduce it," he paused, "Don't think that because you have money you are free to humiliate, harass little and innocent girls," Oko replied. His voice was deep, his tone was harsh and despicable. If Kelvin was a boy, he would have whipped him.

"You called this Child Abuse, because I need a succulent body, tender, smooth and soft skin," he explained. "to deposit in her blood bank your congeal and gelatinous blood. Isn't that what you mean?" Oko snapped.

In a short moment, to justify his proposed act, "why did you and your wife decide to make the little girl, the house help your children brought to help your old age, you turned her into a slave, she hawks, is that not wickedness and Child Abuse?" he asked.

"Remove the lump in your eyes before you can see clear to remove another's," Kelvin continued. "I watched your children grew up to adults they have become today, but I did not for once see them help you in your plantation much less to hawk. If you treat Nkemdirim like your own is it a crime? Are you not abusing her pride as a child by denying her education and sending her to hawk in rain and under the sun? When I know that you are wealthy. Label the defined act," Kelvin said and walked away in fury.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Reasons why opposites Attract each other

Is there anything opposite than male and female? Yet they still attract each other after so many decades. In fact, the future of the race is dependent on such attraction. But unfortunately they fail to realize that their physical differences are only symbolic of the many other differences in their nature, the most significant of which are " temperaments ". Good to know, a negative is never attracted to another negative and positives repel each other in any field.
