Some days, I absolutely love people. Yes, people in general. One friendly person can so easily brighten up your day, and one understanding person can mean the difference between tears and laughter. But there are some days (like today) where humanity just shits me to no end. As a casual job, I work in an agency that provides support and assistance in many forms such as housing, counselling, financial, language support and simple training to people who have been hit by darker times.
Today at work, I noticed a teenage client who had come looking for assistance as she had been kicked out of her home and had nowhere to live, and no means to do so. Im not one of the social workers, but rather, i just do the administration and clerical things such as filing, reports, data and administerial tasks so I can only go by what the reports that the social workers have written. But anyways, this teenage girl (no younger nor older than you or me) had been subjected to what was deemed "incest"/sexual assault by her own family for more than half her life. She suffered from severe emotional problems, and had no money or accommodation to go to. It really outraged me that some people - ESPECIALLY parents - can do such a thing to their own flesh and blood. By becoming parents, you're not only acknowledging that you will bring someone into the world, but you are supposed to care and protect them from the harms and evils that marr it - and if that means yourself, then you should put yourself away!. Geez, the poor girl is now financially, physically and emotionally unstable, and will probably suffer for the rest of her life because of the actions of people that are supposed to be their protectors! *grr*
In another thing, I read that some guy committed suicide in Adelaide by jumping from the top floor of the Myer in front of hundreds of shoppers and passers by. Sure, the guy had issues and obviously didnt care much about life and humanity, but it annoys me that he jumped and committed suicide in front of children and others. Is it really necessary for this man to not only take his own life, but also rage into the nightmares of innocent young children? Perhaps he thought that by doing such a thing, he could show the world how much they had neglected him (though i dont know what his story was).? But does that mean he had the right to potentially ruin other people's lives? GRR
*huffles*
