All victims

We are ALL VICTIMS of the system

I know that your heart goes out to the unfortunate of this world, and the victims of our system:
-The ones with little means financially
-Those who don't have friends in positions of power
I.e. immigrants from a foreign country who may be on welfare fighting for authorization to be legally employed, struggling with language barriers-going through alot of legal crap-waiting in line-ups, endless phone calls and appointments with social workers who may treat them with prejudice and as if their time meant nothing.
We pass by a homeless person sleeping on the street wrapped up, on the coldest night of the year. It breaks our heart. We appreciate the fact we have a home and a bed to sleep in tonight.
Most of us don't give a passing thought to those in jail. But we should. I know that now. These humans have all rights stripped away from them. For a good part of the day they are "locked down"-the best part of their day is their meals or a 15 minute walk in a courtyard with 4 brick walls. -How long would you keep your sanity under those circumstances? We appreciate our freedom.
Our Young People-those coming from materially favorable backgrounds-who get high on the weekend with friends-pissed off with life-taking everyone and everything for granted-engaging in promiscuous sex and feel no sense of responsibility whatsoever to anyone or anything. These ones need to WAKE UP. There are young people who have just received the devastating news that they are terminally ill with cancer and have a year at most to live.
Or someone in their prime/midlife being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis-a horrible disease.
Or our elderly-Neglected and Abused in Nursing Homes. When do we find time out of our busy schedules to visit our own parents or grandparents fading away?

We the "lucky"...
Living protected lives-protected by the system
We have: adequate finances, food, shelter, friends, a successful career maybe, and the odd vacation. We come home at the end of the day with a sigh of relief-"We made it” safely through another day. Our grades at school are satisfactory and we are relatively optimistic about tomorrow-next month, next week. We can make the rent on time and keep everything together. You feel confident that tomorrow is safely in your grasp-and though you have slight fears crowding the back of your mind-
"Could I one day end up homeless? Would my family ever abandon ME-becoming so wrapped up (self-consumed arranging their protected lives) in their own lives, as I am with mine, that I would only receive the occasional visit if I were in need? Could I fall victim to our legal system-an accidental flare-up resulting in a convicted assault charge and sentence-or being falsely accused by those with more power and backing by the system-leaving you as the scapegoat? Could I then be labeled by society and former friends as an outcast and face total neglect and alienation?"
"Could I find out at my next doctor's examination that I am diagnosed with cancer-and have only a short time to live-wondering if your spouse will support you through this. Maybe they are already considering remarriage-and what about you’re 3 year old and the new one on the way?"
In other words -"am I just another throw-away member of society? -Where is the love? The feeling of true security? -The trust in friends you can depend upon NO MATTER WHAT? " You may not even feel any protection from God or religion-if you have any faith at all-or maybe that disappeared a long time ago. Look at these fears. Who REALLY is the victim(s) of this system? If even the "lucky" and "fortunate" are plagued with such anxieties and fears... We are ALL VICTIMS of the system. What can we do to regain a greater sense of security?

No one in this world should have to die alone. Someones last few moments of life should be spent amongst friends who make a true impression upon their mind that they are truly loved and will be missed immensely by this world. They must feel as a person of value and worth and treated with dignity and care-not as a burden. If every intelligent person in this world is conscious of how flawed our system is, than how come reform and change seem so mountain like and unreachable? If 99%of people are willing to break the rules of the system for self-gain or self-protection-and close their eyes to protect and conceal their friends and alliances who are doing the same i.e. judges being wrongly influenced in their judgments-corruption in government-cheating on our taxes (a list would prove endless where we cut corners and compromise the boundaries of our system) than why can't we have global or even small scale reform through mutual understanding? Why hold to traditions and policies blindly that destroy innocent people's lives? If we don't aim to protect the weak, we cannot protect ourselves. WE ARE ALL ONE. If an elderly member of the family is dying in a nursing home faster than they should be cause they are not getting the attention they need-how well can it be said that family is really doing? If the elderly member's status is a reflection of how well that family is doing-that family is almost dead. Members have to start caring for one another. A Father should take time out of his week to spend TIME with his children. Take grandma or grandpa to a nice restaurant. Make them feel apart of what is happening around them. Don’t be embarrassed by what others think. Don't dictate every little detail of their lives-let them choose the clothes they want to wear. Let your children touch and display affection towards your parents. I guess the point I am trying to make is that life doesn’t have to be as crappy and lonely as it is. In fact, it can almost be amazing. Life can be full of amazing moments-build truly precious moments that will last-not building a false world of false friends with false smiles-resulting in broken families, broken dreams-leaving you feeling empty and artificial and very alone inside. Touch is so powerful. Stay connected. Be honest. Be real-and remember: Don't just think about your own protection in life. Be a safety net for others to fall into. Make the world of others more secure and yours will be too. We are all Victims in this dying world-but it doesn’t have to be so bad.
