INSTEAD OF US AND THEM: "WE"!

-


Instead of Us and Them, Perhaps “WE”

I live in an assisted living.
There are many people who live here and receive services.
There are also staff who do various jobs that realistically should assist us in our daily lives.
Being a person who receives medical care, services and treatment here, where I live and, also, the hospital I go to, I have realized the division between people who give help and people who receive help.
This is strikingly visible in my community, the hospital I go to, in the world I live in and in Life.
It seems to be “Us” and “Them”, when ideally it should be “WE”!
I despise the division that has forced itself upon my community, my home and my life!
With this division is an uneven balance of respect, dignity and credibility in favor of those who give services.
I find that I continually fight for these traits of respect, dignity and credibility while those who give these services attain it automatically with their job, not by their character.
This seems totally unfair as feelings of frustration and anger weigh on me.
My aspiration is that the people who help me in various ways, would see me, and others who are similar situations, as a person instead of a resident, patient, client and all the other various labels different professionals dream up.
They seem to think that these labels are me, my friends and the people in the community I live in.
My dream is that all people would love each other, whether they be similar or different.
Respecting each other, though they be different from you, would be an accomplishment very possible to attain.
Seeing me as a person 1st may be advantageous to all concerned!
Seeing others as people instead of someone who’s better, worse, different, sick, and other labels, could be perhaps the first step in obtaining a world peace
My dream is that people would remove their blinders and see others like they would like to be seen in their situation(s).
If people saw “ME” instead of “Us” and "Them", well, that would be so emphatically awesome!

The Medical Profession: Problems 5-6-2024

Serious Problems That Circulate Among The Medical Profession There have been countless advances in the medical field. These fascinating evolutions have saved my life and the lives of countless others! These medical miracles have improved the lives of multitudes and have also created paths of wellness in the lives an infinite number of others! Though this is fascinating news and it all benefits humankind, there are serious problems in the presentation of medical treatment. How medical professionals communicate with their patient(s)  can steal the worth and good out of these medical miracles. Through these medical marvels are wondrous, it feels to me that needed changes need to brought forth in how well these medical professionals  communicate with their patient(s). People with serious and chronic health conditions, especially those who require more medical care and treatments, like myself,  know well that  the Healthcare System needs improvements that would benefit th...

The Passing of One of My Dearest Friend, Reverend Ernest Batten With sadness, sorrow and immeasurable grief, one of my dearest friends, Reverend Ernest Batten, passed away on April 17, 2024. Reverend Ernest Batten left these Earthly Dwellings and has risen into the Heavenly Realms.
