Adulthood

Adulthood arrives.

You don't know about damage done in the first three years lasting a lifetime. You probably don't remember the damage anyway.

Or maybe it is an ever present damage that you think is normal.

If you could call a number and get it stopped there and then...

So easy to say. What if it's a family thing? What if it's just cruel words year in year out? how does anyone stop that? What if you know you deserve whatever is dished out and you deserve it for however long it takes? What if it is someone who you love deeply who is hurting you the most? How do you turn in someone who hurts you because of hurt done to them, that you understand?

The permutations of abuse are endless.

The time it could take to calm the world regarding it's treatment of females seems inordinately long. Ask around.

Making seven billion plus people adopt a new set of working rules that says no more abuse, especially and immediately, no more abuse of females.

.....

Hundreds of years has been a standard answer. Never comes along a lot too.
How many generations is that?

How many police persons will miss-label the call or doubt the caller in that time?

How many people will get away with murder because a voice wasn't heard and acted upon?

Do you need some help?

Any help at all?

If you are a right minded human you can't turn your back on a child in pain.

A child hurts.
A child cries.
We rush and help.
The crying stops.
The tears dry and the smile comes back.

We dance. We sing. All is well.

If you are a right minded human you can't turn your back on a child in pain. 

Their backs are turned and they are watching TV...

CRY OUT LOUD
Empower @VDay - use @IBMWatson and @HPAutonomy - Start now for next Feb 14th

Out of one billion people joining in with V-Day there must be a larger, and I do mean LARGE, number of people who would 'happily' let out their emotions to a system that was 'breathing in' every essence of that call and working out how best to present that data to a data hungry world in such a way that that world gets the point... STOP NOW.

Not tomorrow or the next day

NOW
