Heartbroken

Most people know me as the girl who loves spending money in fashion stores, drive fancy cars, and has probably earned the most of frequent flyer miles than anyone else in your network.

What most people don't see is that my heart cries because I am also the one who doesn't close her eyes for all poverty and inhumane life some people must live in, trying hard to survive. Vagrants, Transgenders, Homeless people, refugees and so many more people who have a daily struggle because there is no place for them in our society make me aware of how deep our society already has sunk.

I cannot watch and do nothing. How can I look at myself in the mirror if I don't want to fight for their human rights? So I fight for human rights at the European Court of Human Rights for them and time after time, I hear so many lawyers, attorneys, social workers, judges, and care professionals saying. "It's their own fault, they have chosen that life themself" or "That I see it wrong" or "racism and discrimination don't exist. It's a wrong perception of them.", to thereafter go home after a hearing at court, being popular and being a pharisee in the church because that's the only thing they care about.

I'm right and they are wrong

I can't talk about the cases I represent at court, but some times outside the court, things happen that prove I'm right and they are wrong.

At this moment, at 4 am, I'm crying in my bed. No one cares. No arm around me, and if I didn't post this post on social media, no one would ever know, as usual.

A few things happened today that hit me hard. And I will not be silenced anymore! Some coworkers tried to play down the situation of discrimination, intimidation, minority suppression, and racism. Just like the executive board of the soccer club of den Bosch. (it is not a coincidence that the most conservative court of the Netherlands is located in den Bosch also)

The hateful shoutings and racism from their own supporters weren't that wrong according to the executive board of FC den Bosch. They even stand as one behind the trainer who said that the dark-skinned soccer player must not be such a sissy and who didn't convict the hate speech and racism of their supporters.

white conservative straight normative supremacy can act like that unpunished.

I really don't get it that the white conservative straight normative supremacy can act like that unpunished.

I like to travel by public transport, to see the world. Not from the garage to garage and being blinded about the downfall of our society.

This morning I traveled to the brain port city of the Netherlands and on my walk to my appointment, I saw a homeless man, sleeping unsheltered. Two boys made fun of that homeless man and played soccer with that homeless man his last possessions. Many who passed by did see this man and the boys, but they did look away. It broke my heart once again. I went to the boys and told them that they were so disrespectful and that they must help the homeless man instead of making his situation even worse.

Well, you probably can imagine that the aggression and the hate of the boys turned to me. And even walking on my high heels Prada's and Louis Vuitton coat, I can stand up against that bigotry and aggression.

I helped the man gather his last belongings and talked to him. The story of his life, was heartbreaking. And where are the social workers, caretakers, and government now???

Yess it cost me 15 minutes of my time this morning. And probably I was late for my appointment. But once again I saw how cold-hearted society is we live in. The image society wants us to believe is how good society is for each other. But the truth is that we live in the most hateful, disrespectful society ever, filled with discrimination, suppression, racism, and exclusion.

Sometimes I feel myself like the titan Atlas

Sometimes I feel myself like the titan Atlas, But what did I do wrong that it is on my shoulders? Or did I accidentally took the red pill? So that I see what others don't see?

I fight for a better world for my children. A world where everyone can participate and has equal rights. No matter your race, income, gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, faith, skin color, cultural status, origin, physical or mental limits or on any ground you may consider. In which everyone has the right of a decent and humane life.

it is a lonely unfair battle

But it is a lonely unfair battle like David against Goliath. But one day I will find that stone that can kill the Goliath!
