I don't know I just said noses but I had to pick a body part. This world would be a much better place if like I said people only listen to speeches given but people like you. <br /><br />Awesome rant By The Way.Amrisa Transhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155537632599546144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576469148069791524.post-83694306003150100672010-09-17T09:24:33.144-07:002010-09-17T09:24:33.144-07:00Oh sweetie...
The truth is no one ever gets it un...Oh sweetie...<br /><br />The truth is no one ever gets it until it happens to them. Most people have no idea what homelessness and hunger are all about - or the very real decisions and sacrifices you have to make as a parent trying to survive in dire poverty. <br /><br />You will write things like this...try to talk about it (even with people you love and who love you)and they will look away and get uncomfortable. Their eyes will glaze over. They'll wish you'd stop going on about this endlessly. <br /><br />They wont get it. They cant. For some - one day they will get their just desserts and experience what we've survived (and like the good folks we are we will be there to help them). <br /><br />For most - well, they will slide through life worrying more about their vacation plans than the family who lives next door. They will live their Teflon-coated lives and nothing bad will ever touch them.<br /><br />I don't pretend to know what that means or why it happens that way. <br /><br />But it is this inequity that makes us strong. It's what makes us fight and care about the others that no one else does. It ultimately makes us brave - and braver than anyone can ever know. <br /><br />And once in a great while we meet a fellow traveler - someone who's been there and knows what we do. And that's nice and we feel less alone. <br /><br />The trick is to keep that sense of anger and injustice when things start to get better...not to get complacent. Never forget - and never give up. <br /><br />Never lose that anger, my Dear. It will sustain you through all the dark times. It will fuel you and as you watch your child grow. <br /><br />And as for your child - you can take some comfort in this: Know that you brought another one into the universe who will carry on the fight long after we're gone. The generation we create will keep loving and keep fighting long after we've left this realm. They'll keep the flame burning with everything we've taught them - and even if we don't succeed - we've trained our successors to understand, to know, and to never turn away from the suffering of others.Sapphragettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766501399920865101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576469148069791524.post-6997021166311153072010-09-17T01:58:57.123-07:002010-09-17T01:58:57.123-07:00Passionate, from the heart.
