I have been inspired by a DVD of Rosa Parks, her simple action was most likely not premeditated, she did that alone. She sat and remained on a bus seat in 1955, refusing to move to vacate the seat for a white man because she was black. It was a racist way that discusted her, to sit in the back segregated area which was the only area she was supposed to sit in being black. She was arrested and then freed. There were many days following of protests about the buses, and in 1956 the bus segregation was seen to be unconstitutional.
What kind of simple non violent action could I use to demonstrate the right of the individual who is abused by the system, controlled by the system, and by threats of injection, of stronger medication, kept against their will inside psychiatric institutions, when many of the people there are not actually mentally unstable. Many of the people who are in psychiatric wards are there because they don't know any other healers to ask for help. If they were given free reign, that is to be given complete freedom, to come and go as they please, do you think that people would feel so oppressed, so fearful? They are forced to take medication even though they do not want to. And action has to be shown in a peaceful protest, in a demonstration of some kind that creates awareness in the public far more.
Even if it jolts the person to conscious thought and recognition for a short time, it will have the desired effect. To begin to change the way this system so unintelligently and ineffectually treats other human beings!!
How is my say, my opinion, my view, to be expressed in a real world sense?! Anyone have any ideas? Dare me! I might just try it, to sacrifice myself to promote dignity and respect in health! And to make it pro choice and the right to refuse. The persons right to say no to sex isn't on the same level as the right to say no to medication. Now why is that not seen as a violation?!!
STOP! It is NOW! We need to treat the people and this earth with respect and evolve past the things that keep humanity in darkness!!
Buddha, God, and Kali bless
