Violation is violation no matter what premise or context it has. Still in our present day lawyers and judges, with the applause of government 'rulers' pretending to represent 'the people' continue to treat those that are violated by perpetuating their victimization, as though the violated in some manner causes the violator to violate. The cries from Ramah will never cease unless we dare to hear them. Infants, children, girls and boys, as well as women and men, and also the aged or others unable to take upon themselves freely to defend themselves against the violation of their potential choices, knowingly and unknowingly are raped of theirs daily. Their cries are often silent for fear of being heard. Sometimes we need to incline our ears to them, and listen for the faint whisper, 'Help.'
Hearing the cries of the hurting is worthless unless we cry out in their behalf to those that merely matriculate their way through the myriad doors of career paths. Love is never abstract. Protests from a place of safety doesn't change anything, and it risks nothing for the person doing it. It is never okay for another's will to be violated, or even to be manipulated towards the same.
In the USA the US are still treated by both men and wo-men from the judicial and legislative benches as potential criminals in the court system process. Those that minimalize the violation of another's person are either willfully ignorant violators or share the blindness of cruelty of those that deny the horrors of the Holocaust or the Spanish Inquisition, and or every other such fires of judgment used against others for ones own ends. They also share complicity if they knowingly turn their backs on another's violation.
I like one observation of a friend of mine, 'A prostitute never asks to be raped; she merely wants to be paid.' As a time earned mature person, well of age at least, I still can hear the voices of violation in the home of my youth, into my teens. I am free to be not controlled by its fear, but never free of its stealing of my innocence. I was not given a vote as a boy or a young man, but one day I did vote, and the violation in my home by one that should never do what was done stopped. This was only, yes after much appeal because what I claimed just couldn't be the case, the violated are rarely believed by those for years are complicit with their 'hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil' mentality. Parenthetically, I do appreciate that such violators are the byproduct of the same or at least the ethos of violation being their rearing context. For this, they, the violated, since often they too are the violated, need help. But what they do not need is to be ever given the opportunity to make the same horrid mistake of violation again. Such violators need protected from themselves, and all potential violated need protected from their pathological lies to themselves.
It matters not whether it is a person to person, or an institutional violation, it is still the same, the violation of another's will, their potential choice. If I say no, or if I am not able for whatever reason to say no or yes, the other person and or institution is by virtue of their lack of respect of me a pathological rapist of beauty. All violation of innocence is a violation of innate and intuitive beauty. The beauty does, even itself, I believe, cry out in its behalf. What makes the difference is when we too join in the chorus, only here are overtones heard.
Just a note of applause wherever the weeping in Ramah is heard, and responded to......,
