When it come to doing the right thing, age, race and gender are not factors

It was humbling to read this letter from a grandfather to his daughter about knowing how to treat humanity. I can explain it better, so I ask you read it yourself. The feeling is great and I wish we had many people in the world who would do the right thing for the sake of right. Grandpa, you are my hero, and indeed an inspiration to all of us.

A rapist walks free for commiting "nonviolent rape? Horrendous!!!!

A rapist walks free for committing a non-violent rape? Horrendous!! What is the world coming to? If those who are sane cannot make sensible decisions, we ought to be worried about our children, our parents and ourselves.

We trust that those we elect in leadership roles would lead us if their responsibility is to protect us they should do this. Last evening when I watched the news about the fourteen year old who committed suicide had been raped by her teacher  who was then sentenced to only thirty day, i was disgusted. It is horrendous for a rapist of a minor to be given such lenient sentence especially since his actions led to the girl committing suicide.

I think a judge who makes such an unforgivable decision should be relieved of his or her duties. We cannot trust such an individual to protect our children or even to lead. Bad judgement is equivalent to no judgement. I believe those who care should pressure such a leader to leave office. Read more here and be your own judge.

Your Dignity is Yours to Keep

Human nature is full of surprises. Sometimes, those who we expect to love us are the one that hurt us very bad. Those who love us are the ones who abuse us. Why is that? Mysterious huh! They are the closest to us.

It is for this reason that I believe human nature is a mystery. We tend to want to call those individual who behave in that way socio-paths or psycho or sick or whatever comes to our mind in an effort to explain these behaviors. It is difficult for the abused to explain away behavior that is hurtful. It is traumatic for the abused to dismiss their experience and indeed it is sad if the victim is blamed for the abuse they face. But unfortunately, our society tends to do just that. We blame the abused for the suffering they are exposed to. Why do we do that?

One thing is for sure! If you have been in an abused situation or relationship, never ever blame yourself no matter what others may think. No one in their right mind would put themselves in a situation where they would get abused or hurt. We always count on the sanity of humans and trust that those we get close to will treat us as humans with dignity. What others think is irrelevant.

Always remember that you still have the power and the upper hand in the whole situation. In spite of everything, you are always in control of yourself. Never give up on yourself no matter what. Never play victim and never give up on the power you still have even when you may appear powerless. Michael J Fox once shared great words of wisdom. He reminds us all that “One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.” ― Michael J. Fox

Your dignity is yours to keep to hold on and to count on. Keep it and be proud of it regardless of what you go through. Peace!!

 

No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.

Joseph Addison

 

 

Always resist injustice in its various forms. It is important to remember that great leaders who brought us freedom fought really hard to resist injustice. Now it is our turn. We cannot just sit and hope things will change. We have to be the change we need. We have to act out what we want our world and lives to look like.If you are unhappy with the situation do something about it. Strategize, on how to improve the situation in the future.

 

 

Confront Your abuse to end the cycle!

“... you don't have to wait for someone to treat you bad repeatedly. All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.”
― Jane Green, Bookends

Dont allow abuse because it is going to be repeated again and again. Confront it the first time you notice it in order to stop the cycle.

Challenge the life you live!

Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.”
~ Bernice Johnson Reagon ~
