This subject of domestic violence is getting fresh attention now because of that football player knocking his wife out. I wonder if his status as a football player is the core of the outrage. Football players and pro athletes are idolized by Americans and get passes for rape and domestic violence. Is it because it was his shattering what is accepted as the image of a football player or the fact that in business terms athletes are product and this product tainted the league's image to its public that has the country in an uproar, or is it because the system of illusion covering secrets and facts is eroding? Or did the video of that man/boy athlete simply thrust a daily recurrence into the public arena? Was it the easy accessibility of people's lives to others through video, not by interaction, but from a distance that makes this controversy appear so outrageous?
Answers need to follow the list of concerns, and complaints so I ask one question. What can emerge from collaboration between the omnipresence of eternal life, the hardness of the facts and causes of violence towards women? One of many answers: what is the original story of violence against women?
