“These are the four abuses: desire to succeed in order to make oneself famous; taking credit for the labors of others; refusal to correct one’s errors despite advice; refusal to change one’s ideas despite warnings.”
~ Confucius
“Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him.”
~ Edgar Howe
“Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.”
~ Voltaire

Your message is powerful, hard to look at and oh so necessary if social injustices are going to change. You are making a difference. I am glad you are strong and brave enough to do it in spite of all you have had to endure.

Reblogged this on I'm a teacher, again and commented:
Strong piece – continue to talk about it, and please begin to act upon it – look in the mirror, don’t just complement the suggestion of awareness.

how could anyone not like or think this post valuable – you deserve hundreds of likes for stating the obvious. Sadly our society is so filled with media driven reminders. Wonder why? Well, really wonder why there needs to be so much emphasis, because quite frankly, why the hell don’t people get it? Think I’ll write about this aj – thanks for the inspiration.

I wish my feelings weren’t so raw and real…but then, maybe I’d just be another idiot that the truth is lost on, huh ?
Thanks for the encouragement xo

Indeed, your voice is powerful, and if that gives you strength then by all means. i did not grow up experiencing the abuse that people write about so painfully here, but I think it is postings like your that make it clear that rather than sitting around our tv’s saying – ‘now that’s a well needed advertisement’ – we all need to look in the mirror. So now I’m going to go write about it on my other site of course! 🙂
