Peace and Blessings Family,
I just don't know how one can substantively do this.
Fight for another's child, when their own child is being shot down mercilessly in the street?
How do you do it? Is there a guide, manual, book of instruction on this?
Is it easy to do and only I am struggling?
How do I put aside my own pain, loss, devastation, to focus on your pain, loss, and devastation?
It's not that I do not care about your baby, but must I do it while I'm trying to hold my own child's blood in his body, hand over the wound, blood spilling out, looking in his eyes ... knowing no one cares about his life ... no one but me ... how can I?
Am I even in any position to do so, given my own emotional, physical and mental trauma.
Where has the care been for all of my children that have died and are dying?
Where are the people, marching, petitioning, fighting for my children?
I want to care with my whole heart ... but how?
How much heart does one have to give, when that same heart is already broken.
What of self-preservation, is it real, what is the mechanism to ignore it?
What is one to do. Am I being selfish.
How do you psychologically manage this.
Is it all meant to be this way, knowing in advance this challenge would be present.
Is it a divide and conquer campaign (put in place since the invent of racism) to defeat us all.
If anyone has answers, please share.
