It is possible to grow to adulthood with little care shown to you. Absence does not necessarily make the heart grow fonder. Trust issues develop from lack of positive social interaction. Hope is laid upon the table. Being alone becomes a natural state. Sadness in the eyes of those who do not realize they are seen.

Walls are constructed. A guard to keep the people out who do not care. We peek through the curtain to determine who is knocking at our door. What do they want from me…we say. The salesperson loves us until we purchase the big ticket item, once the buy is made, they do not know us.

Politicians kiss our feet in preparation for the election. The trample on our rights after the Big Day… Work for years, study, strive, increase education to facilitate becoming a better employee, you discover by email you do not fit with the flavor of the moment.

Excellent job performance means a lot…until it does not. We are numbers on a spreadsheet. Trust Issues…

A famine and drought of plain facts surround us. To be part of the In Crowd you must shut off your brain. The universal call of distress, the upside down flag is flown by Republicans and Democrats.

Build a bigger wall. We stay in our fortress. We have a moat. It has crocodiles. There are spikes in the driveway.

How do we reach out? Will kindness beget kindness? One day at a time. It is a process. Our trust issues go way back. The wall is dismantled one brick at a time…
