. . . justifiable anger, compelling my choice to “go-along-to-get-along.”

091226 20:21
I identify with poverty since I am impoverished and made poor by the wealthy.
I identify with the poor since I know the reality of their honesty and hard labor; former, present and future.
Moreover I identify with the broken, mentally ill and know their too few resources growing smaller and less daily. The examples are wandering America’s once “Streets of Gold” homeless.
Why?
Mental Health Issues uninsured and never addressed adequately for those returned from war; just one glaring example. The “War on Drugs” could not exist without customers. Why not attempt to heal the need rather than kill the providers?
Again and again I see political expediency showboating, obvious, yet futile efforts at enormous expense and profit to a few individuals, corporations and institutions against the even greater profit of drug cartels and pharmaceutical monopolies.
It was not until in poverty and taking a chance I stopped taking psychotropic drugs for a misdiagnosed mental health issue: being bipolar.
I have no recourse. I was complicit for codependent issues, justifiable anger, compelling my choice to “go-along-to-get-along.”
I can no longer advocate a ‘religious’ or ‘governmental’ solution since I conclude they are the problem and offer no solutions on an individual basis.
We must do this for ourselves one-by-one. The effort grows two-by-two, four-by-four, onward.
Random acts of human kindness go a long way towards healing and replacing all that has been taken from us.
In the end I believe the meek will inherit the earth.
. . . and we are legion and intend no harm.
