the final monologue/text by lavender:

Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn, but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It's real, though, the theory. Even when it isn't: It can change you, turn you, mold you and shape you into someone you're not. The only upside to anger, then, is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid of this journey. Someone that knows, that the truth is, at best, a partially told story, that anger, like growth, comes in spirts and fits, and in it's wake leaves a new change at acceptance - and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child. |

[...] ...of anger that it exists over and over again in the relationships that exist between the males and females of our species. Here, in rural Botswana an unfaithful tribeswoman is brought to a (???) by a group of locals for a ritualised punishment of beating and harassment. Events quickly spiral out of control for the tribesmen now, as the womans spear becomes to going to contain, and the men are quickly forced to flee for their safety. |
