The guy you see on the photo stabbed his girlfriend (also seen in the photo) to death and attempted taking his own life too. He did not die but the lady did and the reason why he stabbed the girl is because he had sponsored her for over five years and she later walked up to him to end their relationship because she found love elsewhere. Hearing this, you can imagine how heartbroken her must have been.
This situation should not be a fight between feminists who are trying to prove that men have done worse than women, nor should this be a justification for men to support the fact that the man had the right to take his girlfriends life after all he had done for her.
If many judging the act were in the guy’s position, they might have done worse. We don’t really know for sure what transpired before it led to a fight that led to murder but we can all learn something from this situation.
Sponsoring someone through school or byou are neither engaged nor married to is just a gamble. There is no certainty. Men have also disappointed women who spent on them.
Situations are different but which do you rather prefer; to break up with someone who sponsored you but who you do not love and live a happy life or to forcefully marry someone because you feel like you owe them because they sponsored you or because they owe you?
If this guy died, which we don’t pray he does, it might have been better but now surviving and having to live with the pain and frustrations again for the rest of his life is more of a burden than letting the girl go.
Let’s pray for a meek spirit and try to practice anger management from time to time. It is not easy but the consequences always outweighs the anger.
