Date: June 25, 2007 02:24PM I have seen certain things
and the things that I have witnessed .... I cannot repeat in this space I have seen , with my eyes closed what it feels like to have dignity stripped until it remains barely hanging like rags torn... just pieces... like strips of cloth torn asunder badly worn.... but still hanging onto flesh like a little bit of meat left on the bones after the ravens have pecked at it and if the bones belonged to a person that was still alive and the person wishes to live to forge that dignity within is akin to resurrecting oneself from a slew of buzzards building oneself within, invisibly silently while the saprophytes mercilessly continue to peck again and again and again sometimes, i feel that is what it is like for some to get up every day brush their teeth, comb their hair then ... to face the world with all its prejudices and injustices sometimes... i think... " it must take everything" for that person to do that I have seen certain things things i cannot repeat and if i told you who my heroes were you probably would not believe me it sickens me that some must live that way but it is true those are my heroes the ones who make it out the door to live another day instead of gingerly laying a noose about their neck so easy it would be to do i've seen what life can do to some the ones that nobody realizes are trying really trying putting all their focus on keeping the buzzards out closing their eyes facing the sun over and over again while the dull hammer of hatred continues on ceaselessly sure it is a war out there but the real one lie inside sometimes its just a simple war like a bit of bread ( flaxseed of course) asking for a simple thing like ones daily bread and water ones dignity ones dignity to some may mean more than bread or water ones dignity may be the only thing worth fighting for in the end if one has to fight for dignity it may be the last frontier to look within deep within go where no one else can be can touch cuz that is the place that one must be to claim anything for oneself know that place know that to treat oneself with dignity is the ultimate gift one can give not only to oneself but to others as well a dignified person is the most beautiful being to behold this much i believe i see souls fighting for dignity like a person drowning in a tormented sea of rage bobbing in between the lackluster but crushing waves how dulling it must be to fight in such an undignified manner but that is what a dignified person does dignified people feel that such humiliations come with the territory for it is indeed humiliating to fight for something that ought to just be a given like air like water what are the statistics? how many people in the world have no access to clean water? what are the statistics? how many people fight every day of their lives to be treated with dignity? which is more cruel? water dignity air dignity air water dignity is a precious resource invaluable especially to the one who has earned it for oneself invaluable especially to the one who must rebuild it for oneself not just daily but with every new situation that arises throughout the 24 hour day dignity cannot be given by others and if it surely cannot it must be created within the last frontier the last and the most wildest and the most B R E A T H T A K I N G it takes imagination it takes depth sometimes it takes E V E R Y T H I N G what is dignity? the reassurance that one's life is worth living that it has utmost value despite what the world says you know better believe this u know better believe this u know better L I V E la veronique dignitique Re: DIGNITY... the first and last frontier

Date: June 25, 2007 08:23PM one day we will live in a world
where dignity like air is simply a given but until that day comes i'm looking within within within nothing can be expected from this world that is akin to peace but within anything is possible even the impossible this much i do believe looking within one can find freedom where there was non to be had outside of oneself sure its a lonely fight sometimes sure , it can be crippling and rage filled but what are the other alternatives? in the end everyone must fight for one's dignity treating others with great dignity is an act of self love treating oneself with great dignity is a marvel to behold for others its an inside job, i say and it is never ending its the harshest adventure but its very rewarding it is extremely spiritual its either this or the noose and i do know a man who hung himself because the sounds of the buzzards were getting too loud for him i wrote the above for this man who knew that life wasn't worth living without dignity i'm sorry that he couldn't find it within sometimes the fight is too heinous to conceive i hope he is covered in love slathered in mercy rested in peace Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
