Stuff like this Baby P thing really gets to me. The systems and institutions in this country,paid VERY GOOD money to ensure the vulnerable are protected, are failing. It takes some poor tortured baby to grab the public's attention to cry for justice.
I had a message from a friend today (a social worker) saying, 'Remember you have to be realistic about your ability to bring about change'. This man's a good man, but the comment has enraged me. I wrote back, "Remember- man has achieved the most when he has taken the constrictions of 'what is realistically possible' away". It seems to me the demise of mankind is near when Joe Blogs starts to think only in terms of 'what is realistic'. People around the world are dying everyday for what they believe in, to bring about change. I don't think we always realise how lucky we are to even have the option of believing in 'realism'.
Realistically I need a rest. I feel like I've travelled 1000 miles and forgotten why I started the journey in the first place, but as Bob Marley allegedly said, "The people who make this world worse never take a day off. So how can I".
Hence I'm writing my blog when I'm not really in a frame of mind to be writing anything.
