Gross Apathy

When people who care go out of their way to help someone in dire need, and that someone recognizes that the help is going to be life-changing--that it can actually give him a brighter future, I just can't imagine why that person will choose to not take the help just because it will be inconvenient to get there.

If I were a parent who had a son born with deformities, and I don't have the means to get what he needs to lead a normal life, AND someone offered to help saying, "We'll take care of it for you," I WILL do the needful just because I love my son--just because he deserves this chance.  

I feel strongly about it because it seems that people who need the most help will sometimes reject the help that'll change the course of their lives--they would rather stay poor or, worse, helpless!  It bothers me because that's one of the reasons why this country is still so poor.  It bothers me because people are so entitled and ungrateful.

What would the world be like if we had thankful, humble people all around? 

What about you—what do you have to show for your life?

To you who spend your waking hours plotting to hurt the people I love, I am speaking to you.
To you who maliciously hurl lies at the very people who saw you in your pit, went all-out in helping you, then made sure you were back on your feet, and even spent sleepless nights thinking about your well-being, I am exposing you.

I was there many years ago when I saw how you were so messed up—sleeping around, chasing after who knows what—yet you were accepted, loved, and helped through your crap. I also saw how these people, whom I so care for, helped others like you (and me) learn to live well and whole.  I AM STILL HERE, and I continue to see different ones (even communities) getting helped by these very people you are maligning.  How dare you try to destroy that which brings help and health to our society!

You speak lies because you are afraid—afraid to acknowledge that it was greed and bitterness and a refusal to stop being a hypocrite that took you out. I know the real deal.  I still recall what really happened—when, where, how, why.  Thing is, you inevitably delude yourself speaking and spreading all those lies.  Karma alert!

 What do they have to show for their life?

1.  Individuals who don't know what to do with their lives end up wanting to do more to help change the world around them. I was one of those individuals!

2.  Individuals who may be suicidal get heard and truly helped! These individuals end up with a fresh perspective on life and life's challenges.

3.  Marriages/relationships that are at the brink of death, going nowhere, or that are abusive get revived, redirected, healed and restored. My husband and I got so helped down thru the years—our partnership is only stronger than ever.  Imagine that.

4.  Young people (teenagers/young adults) who may be in families that are dysfunctional, and they can't seem to talk about their feelings, find their way into the safety of having people who will listen and not judge you.  At the same time, find their way out of trouble, and getting the life skills they need to become great adults one day. Again, I was one of those people.

5.  Individuals who are gripped with anger, or drug/alcohol abuse or depression, fear or rejection end up winning in life--becoming healthy spirit, soul, and body.  I, and many others, are living proof of that. My life has been reached and forever changed because of their life—and no man can take that away from me.
