Sin miedo a defenderme 💪 | A capa y espada ⚔️ - ESP/ENG

Buenas noches bonita comunidad, hoy me he animado a participar en la iniciativa propuesta por @charjaim en la comunidad Holos&Lotus, titulada "A capa y espada", que como su nombre lo indica, trata sobre defendernos o defender algo en particular.

Siempre he pensado en mí como una persona fuerte, capaz de defenderse a sí misma y en lo que cree. No siempre me defiendo, pues muchas veces considero que no es necesario, no a todo hay que darle importancia, hay que saber escoger nuestras "guerras", sin embargo, yo no sirvo para fingir ni para guardarme las cosas, así que si algo me molesta, se va a notar o posiblemente lo vaya a decir.

Muchas veces he sentido que he terminado dentro de una situación injusta sin merecerlo, pero no me he quedado callada, así no me hayan dado la razón o validado mis sentimientos, me he defendido y respetado como persona, cosa que, muchas veces, las personas no se lo esperan porque me subestiman por mi apariencia y personalidad tranquila.

No quiero dármela de sabelotodo o de santa, pero normalmente siempre termino bien parada en situaciones injustas, esto es así porque soy una persona razonable y sincera, no miento, no finjo y no hago el mal de manera intencional, por lo que a la hora de la verdad, la vida hace de las suyas, poniendo todo en su lugar.

Good evening beautiful community, today I decided to participate in the initiative proposed by @charjaim in the Holos&Lotus community, titled "A capa y espada", which as its name suggests, is about defending ourselves or defending something in particular.

I have always thought of myself as a strong person, capable of defending me and what I believe in. I don't always defend myself, because many times I think it is not necessary, we don't have to give importance to everything, we have to know how to choose our "wars", however, I'm not good at pretending or keeping things to myself, so if something bothers me, it is going to be noticed or possibly I'm going to say it.

Many times I have felt that I have ended up in an unfair situation without deserving it, but I have not remained silent, even if they have not given me the reason or validated my feelings, I have defended and respected myself as a person, which, many times, people do not expect it because they underestimate me for my appearance and quiet personality.

I don't want to pretend to be a know-it-all or a saint, but normally I always end up in a good position in unfair situations, this is because I'm a reasonable and sincere person, I don't lie, I don't pretend and I don't do wrong intentionally, so when the moment of truth comes, life does its thing, putting everything in its place.

He defendido mis gustos, decisiones, valores y puntos de vista a capa y espada, guiándome por lo que sabemos que está bien y está mal, siguiendo un comportamiento lógico en donde razono con base a lo que realmente puede perjudicarme a mí o a mi entorno y lo que no. Todos podemos equivocarnos, así como también redimirnos, pero hay cosas negociables y no negociables, hay cosas que no perjudican a nadie y otras que si, en eso debemos basar nuestro juicio para no sesgarnos.

Mientras sepamos que no le estamos queriendo hacer nada a nadie y realmente no estemos obrando mal, tenemos todo el derecho a defendernos dignamente ante quien sea, sí, ante quien sea, sin importar si es familia, amigo, persona influyente, etc.

I have defended my tastes, decisions, values and points of view with all my heart, guided by what we know is right and wrong, following a logical behavior where I reason based on what can really harm me or my environment and what not. We can all make mistakes, as well as redeem ourselves, but there are things that are negotiable and non-negotiable, there are things that do not harm anyone and others that do, we must base our judgment on that in order to not be biased.

As long as we know that we are not trying to do anything bad to anyone and we are not really doing anything wrong, we have every right to defend ourselves with dignity in front of anyone, yes, anyone, no matter if it is family, friend, influential person, etc.

A continuación responderé tres de las cinco preguntas sugeridas en el post de la iniciativa.

1️⃣¿Valdrá la pena empecinarse a lograr algo por sobre todas las cosas?

Todo dependerá de que exactamente signifique "todas las cosas", porque si para lograr algo tenemos que hacerlo obrando de mala fe o sacrificando otras cosas importantes, puede ser que realmente no valga tanto la pena eso que se quiere lograr, habría que analizar bien el contexto situacional.

2️⃣¿Qué situaciones siempre defenderíamos a capa y espada?

Situaciones que involucren mi vida, mi familia, mis valores morales (estoy muy orgullosa de ellos), mis gustos y creencias.

Ahora que menciono a mi familia, una de las cosas que me ha hecho sentir muy orgullosa de mí misma en esta vida, fue el defender a mi familia de otros familiares que intentaban perjudicarnos, no temí que fueran mayores que yo ni que hubiera lazos de sangre de por medio, tome cartas en el asunto y dije lo que se tenía que decir. Al final se hizo justicia, se perdonó y ahora hay paz.

3️⃣¿Qué elementos contribuyen para que alguien se mantenga
atado a lo que no tiene remedio?

Puede haber muchas respuestas a esa pregunta.

La costumbre, creencias y carácter obtuso son algunas de las razones por las que alguien no de su brazo a torcer y se mantenga atado a cosas que ya no funcionen o le estén haciendo daño. En mis cortos 25 años de vida he podido observar que la vida siempre da las lecciones y oportunidades necesarias para que la gente avance en su camino. Es ley de vida que las lecciones que no se aprenden están condenadas a repetirse, así que quien no ponga de su parte y acepte que tal vez está equivocado, desaproveche oportunidades y comporte mal, le tocara seguir tropezándose con la misma piedra.

Next I will answer three of the five questions suggested in the initiative post.

1️⃣Is it worth it to be determined to achieve something above all things?

Everything will depend on what exactly "all things" means, because if in order to achieve something we have to do it acting in bad faith or sacrificing other important things, maybe it is not really so worth it what we want to achieve, we would have to analyze well the situational context.

2️⃣Which situations would we always defend fiercely?

Situations involving my life, my family, my moral values ( I'm very proud of them), my tastes and beliefs.

Now that I mention my family, one of the things that has made me feel very proud of myself in this life, was to defend my family from other relatives who were trying to harm us, I was not afraid that they were older than me or that there were blood ties involved, I took matters into my own hands and said what had to be said. In the end justice was done, there was forgiveness and now there is peace.

3️⃣What are the elements that contribute to someone remaining tied to what is hopeless?

There can be many answers to that question.

For example, habits, beliefs and an obtuse character are some of the reasons why someone will not change and stay attached to things that no longer work or are hurting them. In my short 25 years of life I have been able to observe that life always gives the necessary lessons and opportunities for people to advance in their path. It is a law of life that lessons that are not learned are condemned to repeat themselves, so whoever does not do his part and accept that maybe is wrong, misses opportunities and behave badly, will have to keep tripping over the same stone.
