Institutions bad. Close down. Move to "community based" support in lieu. Under support "community based". So many mysteries around regressions. Re-institute. Fail.

this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.

“The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

Velvet Martin: #Canada

An entire systemic architecture built on:
• Process over justice
• Delay over resolution
• Public reassurance over accountability

[Samantha’s Law @SamanthasLaw]

“The entire System is a shameful charade of meaningless processes that keep victims running in circles and the public appeased with hope that justice is attainable. (And, I will keep exposing the truth.)”
