Life presents its challenges to each one of us; but within the construct of a nation that is so unequal between the haves and the have nots, there is a diametrical difference between the needs of those that are the forsaken as compared to those that lack little or nothing from a monetary and security point of view. In order to sustain ourselves satisfactorily and to have thus a life that is worth living, it is important that we develop vital relationships and have in place a sound infrastructure, that is constructive and beneficial for our good development, which thereby helps to assure us of our sustainability within society. Yet, for a large subset of Americans, that are personally challenged on so many levels, when it comes to their security, health, education, hope, and opportunity, we do find that their lives are often so fundamentally precarious that simply surviving, seems to be the first order of the day for them.
The point of good governance is to provide the necessary structure that will help those that are the most vulnerable in society; so that, by doing so, these people will develop into good and vibrant citizens for the commonwealth. The best way to do that, is to make sure that in the most neglected areas of society, that the government, so provides to these people, some sort of sanctuary within their community, that the denizens of, can thus rally around. Examples of this, would be good education facilities, that would provide not only the tools so needed to develop a sound mind, but also would provide nutritional meals for the development of a good body, as well as educational guidance for those so needing that helping hand, in addition to a good study area and extended daycare. Additionally, so needed and desired within that community, would be public spheres so represented as in a park, in which, people could safely meet up and congregate, throughout the day; in conjunction, also, with the necessary infrastructure that people could avail themselves of, such as in healthcare, employment, shopping, a community center, and grocery stores.
Instead, what we so find in America, is pockets of absolute and abysmal poverty, in which the people so living within these zones, are treated by outside forces, such as the policing arm of the state, as an area deserving of the constant intimidation of what amounts to an occupying force. The people then that live in those areas in which their educational facilities are absolutely substandard, and of which, there aren’t any safe havens within such, is thereby obviously detrimental to that community being able to ever successfully come together as a people, united in a cause, for they lack the necessary structure and tools that would encourage cohesiveness between them.
There are a lot of bad things that are permitted by this uncaring governance to happen in our most neglected zones of poverty, which should be properly seen as being a crime against humanity. That is to say, when the richest nation that the world has ever known, sees fit to ignore and to disregard those that are the most impoverished amongst them, then for a certainty that country does not truly represent liberty and justice for all; but rather it actually represents a nation that believes that to neglect the people’s needs is somehow acceptable, when it surely is not.
