Do Homeless People Need Rescuing?

Why was there so much sadness and anger today?  She gave to her children what her mother had never given to her, reminded of the moments never shared.  There are so many people in this world who are not loved and today she was not responsible for those, they had chosen their own path of self destruction, or had they?  Had they not been forced into their grave by the experiences they were given.  As humans we’re not responsible for our experiences, they just happen to us and we come to feel powerless in a world dominated by power and power struggles.  We are however responsible for how we manage those experiences and what we choose to do with them. 

 

One can choose to be a victim of their experiences which to a certain degree is a great way of blaming for the situation you may find yourself in.  One does not have to face up to the feelings which are attached to those experiences because being a victim allows us to feel like we need to be rescued, our rescue becomes that of another and not our own responsibility.  Today she was not a victim, today she was going to rescue herself.
