I
once heard Reverend Barber declare that apathy was moral suicide.
If
we can't step out of our comfort zone and stand up for something
important than nothing matters, we have nothing.
This
became evident to me this past week when SEASCAT, a Supportive
Environment for Adult Survivors of Child Abuse & Trauma,
attempted to do some fund-raising during Child Abuse Awareness Month.
I haven't done all the math, but it appears we spent more $ on
printing brochures, flyers, and educational handouts than we made.
And it isn't just about $, people didn't take handouts, apparently
seeing no need to learn any more.
As
a survivor of child abuse who still suffers every day from having the
life I've had thrust upon me, I have to say it hurts to see that no
one really cares.
And
I bet the same people who found it unnecessary to stand up and be
supportive of child abuse survivors, is not otherwise occupied
marching elsewhere over the future of global warning. If they were,
I could understand and accept. Think about it. What matters to you!
