In the jungle of life we have to cut our own path.
I don't like to view myself as a victim all the time because it does not
advance me or my cause at all
I have found my way way through life, it is not perfect but it sure as hell
could be worse if I were not born here but in Zimbabwe or North Korea.
There is no point blaming others all the time unless one has a practical
means of addressing the situation
So courts ignore you. Ignore the courts. I think you will have discovered by
now that certain things are not going to happen merely because you desire
them to. don't look for help from your enemies because they will only
percieve your weakness the better.
You may not like that, but we have to find ways of forging self help and
alternative structures,
You don't like the law then change the law don't try and use a bad law.
A man with a gun wants to rob you, where does it profit you by telling him
it is illegal or peading to his better
nature if he does not have one.
I am a realist in spite of what people may think of my philosophical
speculation
I cannot live a second longer than my alloted span by worrying about it.
