(110,159 posts)at least have the courage to say, that is what it is.
it is like the woman that is being cheated on. she knows it. feels it. (julia roberts movie that stuck with me), and then sees it. she is standing there looking at it. when confronting the man, he denies. says it is not what it looks like.
that.... is cowardly in my opinion. which takes me to the post to golly. poor woman didnt ask for it. but, i refuse to be cowardly. that is how i see it. i refuse to live my life as a coward. ok, in this instance. truth to self. i am afraid of bears in the woods, sharks in the sea, and flying off a mountainous road for no reason or jumping off a latter, but words, thoughts ideas, i refuse to be cowardly.
i have to address them in the truth that i see it. right or wrong, it is my truth. challenge what i say, i am cool. tell me i cannot speak and hten me shutting up cause i am afraid of a hide, that is cowardly.
setting up the board with the knowledge that the majority rule, yet pretending there is a fairness, when addressed stating the fairness and we know when we post something, it is hide worthy, so our responsibility to not get a hide.... yet all facts point otherwise
say it.
is that where we are.
our voice must be silenced.
