Nobody provokes me with
impunity
To przybliżony tekst mojego koszmarnego speecha na równie
koszmarny temat. Enjoy it :).
Hello! My name is Joanna and I’m here today because I
want to talk with you about provocation. The topic of my presentation is:
“Nobody provokes me with impunity”.
Firstly I want to explain what
the word ‘provocation’ exactly means. I would like to look at the Bible
and remind the Christian values. After that I want to speak about our
childhood. Then I present you how people react when they are provoked.
Next I would like to talk about the problem of revenge.
What is
provocation? You can say that it is a deceitful activity whose aim is
persuading somebody to do something, usually bad for this person. We know
different types of provocation. You can be provoked for example in word or
by sb’s behaviour.
We can read about provocation in many books but
in my opinion the most important one is the Bible. “Whoever shall smite
you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.” In these quotation
Jesus teaches us that surrendering provocation is incompatible with
Christian values.
But… let’s see. For example our childhood.
Haven’t you ever fought between the lessons for example with a boy or a
girl from your class? Or maybe somebody created an awful nickname for you
and you did the same? Since the first years of our life provocation has
been a part of it. When we are children very often we can’t restrain
ourselves from saying something stupid or hitting somebody. When we are
adult we are more reasonable. If we want tell something stupid we will
think over it. Of course people are different. Some of them are very
impulsive. You know – sometimes you say something and after a moment you
repent of it. You want to put the time back but it’s impossible! Also
there are very calm people. It’s very difficult to provoke them. As I
mentioned, we often regret our behavior. It’s natural – we are not
perfect. But sometimes when we were provocated we want to take revenge. I
suppose I needn’t explain how bad revenge is – it could be for example a
reason of arguments.
Finally I’d like to review the main parts of
my presentation. Firstly I explained the meaning of the word
‘provocation’. Secondly I told about provocation in the Bible. Thirdly I
talked about our childhood and adult life. After that I showed you
different people’s reaction. Then I warned against the danger of revenge.
Provocation is an element of our life. But if we are reasonable
enough it shouldn’t become dangerous. Remember – sometimes count up to
three before you say something.
