Slipping into holes intended for someone else

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,when you're
sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go,
everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)if you feel like letting go, (hold on)when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.Everybody hurts.
Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.If you feel like you're
alone, no, no, no, you are not alone.

If you're on your own in this life, the days
and nights are long,when you think you've had too much of this life to hang
on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts
sometimes.And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)(Everybody hurts. You are
not alone. (R.E.M. Lyrics)

In this blog series, I always directly or indirectly opined about the influence of the original causes that effect what is going on in today's world. I refer to results as systemic because an intentional foundation has been laid, at one point in time, to help give the results that are desired--normally by those who are either powerful or in a powerful position. Normally act can be classified as malicious and normally renders harm in the end if t s not identified and dealt with.

Also, there seems to be a real mystery why people who don't seem effected don't seem to get it. The truth is that everyone is effected where there's malicious intent. Everyone is hurt.

When one considers how the systemic mechanistic ravages deployed to disrupt the journey of both young and old black men and the many indistinct tools utilized use, one wonders if the effects will spillover.

There's no reasoning why people intentionally try to destroy others except for evil. The penal system is suppose to make society safe, but it instead has become a multi-headed monster that chews up black men. The systemic effect follows and impede their upward mobility as they try to overcome and rehabilitate from this episode.

The universal law declares (and my grandmother said) that eventually the hole that you dig for others is a hole that you may one day fall into yourself.

Today, as all people are having a tough time at finding a job (some more than others) are now challenged by more barriers. The one in focus is the credit check. The credit check is another barrier for poor (black) people.

But, alas, many barriers being designed trip up certain people are also tripping up the unintended. The silver lining may not be that this act will be outlawed. The silver lining is that people will stop and think that the intentional and systemic workings that hurt others can also visit upon them and their children and their children children and their children children children.

You see, we all (can) hurt.
