the relation relating itself to the relation

Women are systematically disrespected.
Robbed of dignity and humanity.
Do we take no heed?
Do we have not mothers or sisters or daughters?
For every woman is one of these things
And at least we must see that.

But rooted even before these special family bonds
Is the real bond of oneness
And that is what we really must see.
That is understanding.

Of course we all have desires
But are we so powerless against them?
Why is the woman at fault to the point of degradation?
Is it because the guilty conscious needs someone to blame for its own betrayal of humanity and of oneness?
For its inability to control and listen to its deepest self?
Or are we so weak as we need to put others down to seem strong?

There is something systematic in this
So we must try to be conscious and think for ourselves.
The reverse is true, but I feel that it is less systematic.

    I read this when I am sad….and then take a moment to be at peace with everything. I forgive him who ‘seems so weak that he puts me down in order to seem strong’. I will keep moving towards understanding such realizations. Bless and thanks jake
