Danger Lurks When People Are

We Have No Idea How Many Women Were Raped In Wars - Because No One Ever Asked. So Sometimes When People Say Statistics Have Escalated, I Wonder If, That Is True Or Are We Just Hearing About Things Now That We Didn't Hear About Before.

We Get Off Track. Capitalism Takes Us Off Track. You Get Off The "real" And Get On The "wheel." The "wheel" Becomes The Winning And Losing, The Succeeding And Failing, The "i Will Achieve." All That Stuff Becomes So Preoccupying, Particularly If You're Born With Low Self-esteem, Or No Sense Of Yourself, Or Even If You're Just Born In The Consumer Culture. It's Very Powerful.

I Don't Get Tired, Because Every Time A Woman Doesn't Die Or Doesn't Get Beaten Or Doesn't Get Raped Or Doesn't Get Honor-killed Or Doesn't Get Acid-burned, It's A Huge Victory.

We're In A Crisis. We're In A Crisis Like I Don't Think America Has Ever Known In My Lifetime. But We Have To Keep Joy In Our Lives, Love In Our Lives, Poetry In Our Lives, Dancing In Our Lives.

I Have Been A Depressed Person Most Of M Life. I Was Always In The Throes Of Self-hatred.
