Human Rights and Social Justice! Whose job it is anyway?

As a strong advocate for the underdog, it rips my soul to pieces when I see or hear of people who choose to put their own personal agenda ahead of what is a basic “Human right”.
As it’s almost impossible to prove intent, only those on the inside close enough to certain situations can really see the damage and misery that is truly inflicted on those innocents whose lives are damaged by the inflated reality of another person. Narcissism certainly comes to mind, plus a few other choice words that define the utter lack of empathy I have witnessed in my time.
I ache sometimes helplessly for those that have no voice; children who are used as pawns in legal battles against the other parent, abused people with no self-esteem who just cannot find the strength to speak up as their spirit is so far beaten down that they just do not have the strength to battle, those of us that manage mental illness, bouts of depression, anxiety and brain injuries, and those that are simply just differently-abled. Who has a voice for them?
Well the first thing I can tell you is that unless your pockets are weighed down or you have one foot in the poor house, there is almost no person, system , agency or resource in the legal system that will help you with your cause.
So I ask where does that leave the dad whose children are alienated against him who has no money for a lawyer? where does that leave the children who are fed mixed truths and lies from the custodial parent about the non custodial parent they love? Where does it leave that broken down soul who cannot fight one more second for what is right, we know wishes and money do not really grow on trees.
What we know is… those children will grow up with mental health issues as emotional damage is one of the hardest issues to manage and undo after the deed has been done, not to mention the disconnection from reality and possible loss of identity; that dad might give up one day his spirit defeated, and that poor soul who cannot fight the evil of injustice any longer might just find a hole to crawl in and accept nothing more can be done as in this game of life the real truth is, someone will win and someone will lose, it’s just the way the cookie crumbles.Where’s the social justice and human rights in that? No where is where! Change needs to happen, so whose job is it anyway!

The only way of finding your limits is by trying to go beyond them. Try doing the impossible today

Your behaviour defines you, not me!

Last evening after leaving what was a very long day at my newish job, during a heavy duty 40 something year old massive hormonal surge, I was struck by the utter cruelty and rudeness of humanity once again. I will not go into too much detail, but lets just say it was due to a comment that was said at my expense resulting in the utter glee of two immature 20 something year old stand by’ers, clearly showing their boisterous pleasure , immediately doing that hand over mouth laughter as I walked by. Needless to say the incident left this girl(woman) feeling once again like that bullied 13year old girl from middle school. For some strange reason I heard an old quote from a 1970’s movie “Carrie”, screaming in my head “they’re laughing at meeeee”, perhaps that 13 year old in me is still a drama queen, how weird is that!
As my natural reactions have some time delay, much like my astrology sign the crab, the sting took about another five more minutes or so as my emotions then kicked into an even higher gear, if that is even possible. Realizing of course this was mere ego damage, my grown up self did indeed get over it, eventually.
The whole process took the better part of two hours. When I finally arrived home, received that much needed TLC and reassurance from my loving partner, inserted some positive self talk and affirmations, and one last thing , milk and cookies, I was on my way to getting past it.
So I wiped away my mascara stained cheeks, pulled up my big girl panties and fed myself those soothing words that heal all truth..its not me, its them. Also…am I not a grown up? What the frack is going on here! It seems no matter how old we grow, that little girl, that insecure teenager and that awkward young adult still live in our heart of hearts just waiting to get hurt all over again, at least until the grown up brain allows reality to sink in.
I survived and rebounded quickly this time, unlike the past when you would find me suffering a full week of self loathing and despair as I did at the young age of 13years. Happily my adult recovery was wrapped up and I was secure before bed, I slept like a baby. All we need to remember in life is, when someone treats you badly, its a reflection of them, not you! Also remember, keep some cookies close by (if you are not wheat intolerant) and of course some milk( unless you are lactose intolerant) and enjoy!
And then remember… this too will pass.
