Why Is It?

Why is it that people try to save addicts who don't want to be saved? Over and over again they put them in rehabs and treatment centers and either the addict walks out or waits until they are discharged and then they go back to their addiction, and then the cycle starts over again. How often does the addict do this before people finally realize no one can help the addict until the addict wants help.

Why is it that some people, and I use the word people very loosely, actually enjoy hurting people, both physically and emotionally? I mean, to actually get some sort of high when they know they are hurting someone? I have seen an elderly grandmother stir up crap between two people to watch them go at it, I have watched people pretend to be other people in emails and blogs to intentionally hurt people emotionally. Why?

Why is it that our government does not require a church to file any forms to become a charitable organization yet if we want to be recognized as one to help multiples and abuse survivors we have to file a zillion pages of forms, answer ridiculous questions and jump through hoop after hoop?

Why is it that roses are $9.99 a dozen until a week before Valentine's Day and then they are $35 and the same price gouging on any other holiday? Likewise how can a grocery store sell t-bone steaks for $9.99 a pound and then for $4.99 a pound, that's a $5 diff on the price or Pepsi is #3.50 a twelve pack or the same as $7 a case of 24 and then, voila, it's on sale for 5 12 packs for $10 or $4 a case? Which then brings us back to gas stations, the price jumps at 10 or 20 cent increments but drops in penny increments, why is that?

Why is it that there is more news coverage and more outrage over the pet food contamination than over the plight of children who are abused day in and day out in every imaginable way? or for that matter over spousal abuse?

Why is it the news has less news than ever before, a good portion of it being self promotion and show promotion and sadly terrible news after terrible news?

Why is cable and dish touted as so wonderful? Remember when people were so fed up with commercials on "regular" tv so they welcomed cable and dish, and yet they too have a ton of commercials on their stations many seemingly more than "regular" or "commercial" stations!
Why are the same movies on over and over and over and over?

Why is it that Anna Nicole has been dead for months and she is still being talked about on "news" shows?

Why is it that someone who is considered an excellent baseball player, one of the best to come along in many a year can decline so much in one year? Say for his first 5 seasons he averages 38 HRs and 125 rbis and this year, out of the blue, he is on a pace for 22 HRs and 75 rbis?

Why is it that I write these Why is it blogs? Do these things just bother me and a few others or more than that?

til next time

hmm we can add our own,
why is it always the people who seek to do good always are the ones attacked first.

why is it when you get kicked and start to get up you get kicked right back down again.

Why is it the liars always get away with seemigly talking the truth.

Why is it people dont laugh like they used to.

Answer a world searching for thmeselvbes adn them alone dont see others, basically this is what we have warned about and this is whats coming and fast.

mankind is not nice, kind or compassionate to it's own self. there is the heart and soul of it all. look around you, on the news, everywhere, humans destroying humans with ease. it is indeed disgusting. children treated like animals and even less by some. the world is not a nice place, plain and simple, so we fight and we try to make it a better place.

easy? no way. necessary? you bet!

thanks for commenting and being a part of the solution

why is it someone says they are your friend but can never be bothered to talk to you?

why is it you can find people more willing to try to be your friend and to make an effort on the internet then in real life?

Why is it that you have to be so poor as to live on the streets before the govt will help instead of making it so you don't have to go that far?

hope ya doin't mind me addin a few...

Hey, I'm Ani. I wanted to let you know that I've added a link to your site onto the side bar of my own. As a survivor I'm trying to connect with as many other survivors as I can, such as yourself. My main blog is at http://withdissonance.net if you want to check it out. If its okay with you, could I add a link to your blog there also? If you'd like you can add a link to either of my blogs here. Thanks so much.

To quote the title of an old (60's?) movie: It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

My biggest gripe (aside from how our society treats children, the elderly, and the poor--to name just a few groups) is how rude society has become.

Why is it store clerks can't be bothered to smile anymore? How come it's become easier, and more socially acceptable, to be rude and selfish than to share a smile with a stranger?

When did everyone become so rude? Shoot, I'm getting heated up just thinking about this! See what you've done? I may just have to blog about it!
