"Today I try my best to transform my anger into passion and productivity. But I will not put my blinders back on and excuse everyone's self-centered pursuits in a world full of people who are suffering because of that selfishness. I am not a coward. I am not a hypocrite. And I might die an outraged activist, but one with both a clear vision and a clear conscience."
I wish I could take credit for that statement but I can't. It a young woman named Robin Horowitz. She had the words but they discribe me. It really bother me so, that the vast majority of people who come to these board don't care if others live or die let alone get relief as long as they get help for their psoriais or psoriatic arthrits.
It is a very shallow world we live in. I will continue the fight with or without you for you and for me. When I think of the apathy shown by the vast majority of the people who come to these boards the only word that applies is the word disgust.
I do know that there are many willing to fingt to make our diease more managable. And they fingt in many, many ways.
Activism is here, but it alive and well in too few people. I have seen it with my own eyes, and have spoken to many and hear their voices. But the numbers are few and far between. The vast majority who come to these boards don't care about anything but themselves. Selfish and self-certered. The evidence is plain as day and there can be no denying it.
I haven't call the National Psoriasis Society this week but I would venture to guess that there are less than forty people signed up for Capital Hill Day.
Less the 60 people took petitions to gather signatures. I understand that would take a little effort. Don't you want to effect change or do you want to continue to feel sorry for your self and let other do the work for you?
I have only seen a handfull of people who have posted their letters to their represenatives. I am sure more people did but for the rest you who have sat on you ass, don't you have a concience?
I KNOW MOST PEOPLE WILL READ AND IGNORE THIS POST. I WILL GET POST FROM SUPPORTERS AND I WILL GET THOSE WHO WILL SAY HOW DARE I.
TO THE ACTIVIST, THE DOERS THE SUPPORTERS WE MUST NEVER STOP.
TO THE LAZY, THE SELF-CENTERED, THE "ME" GENERATION PEOPLE, I DON'T DON'T CARE WHAT YOU POST OR WHAT YOU THINK OF ME. JUST GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND DO SOMETHING. DON'T WAIT TO DIE!
"Everthing is bleak,
As I stand here alone,
Guilty of my sins,
Which can'tbe condoned.
Everywhere I look,
It's everything I see,
A monstrous disease,
The call Apathy.
I can see it inside,
It has grown to much,
Nothing can save me,
Not even your touch."
EITHER YOUR PART OF THE SOLUTION OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!
