I, James Jonathan French, in no way endorse any particular tactic or strategy when dealing with other people.
We need to bring the slap back. It’s gone and its meaning has been manipulated and distorted over time. Now it is an act of violence. You could get expelled from school or sent to jail. Where I used to live a slap was the most disrespectful thing you could publicly do to someone. It’s seen as a method of attack and aggression. OK but….
I remember when I first knew what a slap was. It wasn’t from attacking someone or disrespecting someone…maybe I’m just getting old but I remember when people used to get slapped for their own good. A guy would slap another guy and say “Get a hold of yourself man!” A lady would slap another lady for being disrespectful and use that slap to remind her of her place. People would get slapped when other people thought they had “gone mad.” They would slap them first and then ask “Have you gone mad???” I guess they had to be slapped straight enough to answer the question in a truthful manner.
I said all this to say I have reached a point in my life
where I think the slap might need to be making a comeback. At this point I have
come to know too many people and even entities that could use a good slap. I
don’t want to harm anyone. It is not my purpose to display aggression. This
needs to be done for the good of them that deserve a slapping.
Think about it. Most people can easily identify people who
need to be slapped. If you focus on who needs to be slapped there will be one
name that pops into your mind first and seem to block you from thinking of a
whole lot of people at once. Two things: If you can’t really think of anyone or
you are able to think of many different individuals rapidly then you are the
person who needs to be slapped and that’s the truth about it.
(that’s weird huh?)
