The generation that knew part 2

-- ....now what else do we know; Sartre said '' we know everything except how to live'' How does it feel to know all so much and wondering why crucial issues don't appear to find their resolutions faster than ''the good old days''. We know about famine and we all feel that the problem is an eternal recurrence; I say '' bullshit'' I say it's doable to make sure most human beings (especially children) have enough to eat daily to prevent death and diseases.  We also know about Children abuse, Children working as slaves, Children sold, (who would buy a child anyway?) We know about Pedophilia and Pedophilia in the clergy and in sports; . When do we look away and when do we act,denounce? Have you ever heard a noise from a neighbour sounding like ''Smack'' on a woman or child? (sometimes on a man from a woman). Not of our business? How about incest? it used to be our National sport here in ''the good old days'' still rampant. Do we really understand the psychological lasting ''marks'' it leaves on the youth? and do we know that there's an accomplice lurking in the background as we won't even begin to imagine who it is in most cases? Just a demonstration that ''Silence'' is too often the enemy of the victims and ''being mute about it, is the equivalent of consent'' How about the mistreatment of the Elderly in Long stay centers and even in hospitals, here, we need to install cameras to make sure are Parents are ok. Maybe we should forget about ''the golden rule'' and start denouncing. Not a pretty picture hey,but before I'm finished, I'll probably have a part 3 and 4 about what we know. Too bleak?  Too pessimistic? There's plenty of blogs out there you can read that will make you feel good about this world., but for me the ratio between Good&Evil is too high in favor of Evil, what can I say.

Now, I know you could say well  '' when we denounce, the system is too slow to act upon and demands proof after proof, and lawyers always find a way to get them out on the street again...Break the silence as a ''new trend '' make it a ''moral obligation'' (I'm not talking about becoming an informer) to protect the more vulnerable and make it difficult for the ''abusers'' to perpetrate their crimes....to be continued
