I've been Trying to put my Finger on it!

Since I moved schools, had an accident (two actually) and felt the full force of Hostility and Bullying at School when I was in the 6th form I've been trying to put my finger on WHY it all happens. It is FEAR I think. And in a basically "Christian" Society it seems such a complete contradiction that there is such a strong undercurrent of HATRED for those that we perceive as WEAK! In my opinion EVERY CHILD is a child of God and if our present "Safety Nets" offered the Dignity of ensuring that EVERYONE has the opportunity to fit in somehow somewhere we'd be heading towards Eutopia! Isn't that what Politics is supposed to achieve and isn't that what most of them stand up to be counted for? In that same year that I wrote the speech on Euthanasia I also knew that I would spend the rest of my life hiding away from HOSTILITY. I got a 75% average in 6 subjects in School Cert but, even so, even though I believe I had a lot to contribute I just wanted to hide. Apparently we're heading for the biggest shake up of the Welfare System yet but I still say that the recipe is simple- GIVE THEM WORK.... Work for the Unemployed. Work for the Drug Addicts and Work for Psychiatric Patients. If we can give jobs to those beautiful I.H.C. people I'm sure that we could be creative enough to find something to keep these people occupied and give them a sense of Dignity. And from what I've seen so many of these people are so resourceful, one way or another, that all they need is a place where they can feel safe and I'm sure that we would be amazed at what they can contribute. I believe that the only way that you can remove the HOSTILITY is by removing the FEAR! From being left waiting for God on the scrap heap I've stopped blaming myself and ask WHY? Give them a chance to work their way Up in a safe environment with a chance at pay rises, etc, etc, just like the REAL WORLD and develop a sense of PRIDE and I'm sure most of them would surprise by how easily they rise above their own predicaments or, at least, bounce back and contribute. Maybe I'm just harping on about a Fools Paradise but I believe that is the sort of Society that Jesus would have wanted. And I'm sure that most of these people, although not myself, would be able to move into mainstream employment with ease if you just give them back their confidence.
