(6,476 posts)In this case the people pulling the strings are beyond forgiveness in my view. I try not to hold a grudge but if I'm repeatedly mistreated the only sane thing is to acknowledge the reality and continue on in my endeavor to correct the system, and watch my back.
It was decided we were too wealthy, educated and informed so corrections were made. We have been systematically crushed into submission. If they can't get us to go along they manufacture consent and proceed. Too many people live desperate lives and struggle daily. They are too involved in survival to pay attention or they reach the conclusion that nothing they do matters.
I heard a quote yesterday that struck me...by Emma Goldman
I want to do this peacefully but we both know how close the violence is. The earth and all it's living things needs us to turn this around.
Peace

What happened to your cousin and his son is a travesty. It's understandable that it will take time to come to terms with your feelings. Best wishes to you and your family.
