Bluey had given up. This stream called life, just seems to keep him in the undertow. Forever fighting, forever battling. Never amounting to anything, always behind and always owing. He felt helpless and desperate for the light at the end of it all. For this life is not for this man. Sure he could hunt, sure he could provide for himself, but what use is this in today's system. Eventually he falls through the cracks. Finding peace away from the uneasy comments from general society. He found himself an abandoned farm shed where he could stay, away from the expectations of what he should of been able to achieve. As the years pass Bluey gets older and frailer. He begins to deteriorate as he can not even provide for himself anymore. Bluey eventually passes, alone with no one ever caring. Why did they not understand? Why did they make him feel like nothing? Why did they make it so hard for him?
Every man is born with love, respect and kindness. It is society that removes it, because society never understands. To regain compassion we must first understand.
September is dedicated to remind people to ask their family, friends and colleagues the question, "R U OK?" Even strangers, because a stranger is a freind you haven't met. So remember to ask?
ARE YOU OK?
