Some part of every life has been spent binding up my wounds from these forces. In the memory, I would have to say, there are only moments ~at most, days~ of peace".

    One of my very favourite pieces of literature, beautifully written and painfully explained. A story of a little girl who not only was abused by society but by her own father and every other male she came across throughout her life.

    Those of you who have read it will know what i mean.
    I will for sure. Thanks for sharing.

    Well said about the Peace and Opperession. You know what it the search of peace that makes us restless to evolve new ideas and dig into it. Everyone is going after it and there is not end to this search. And the oppression itself makes us strong, stronger and ultimately the stronges to face it. I am quite aware there have been cases where a person no matter male or female, has been abused physically and emotionally beyond the limits of acceptance or expectations. But those who have sustained it and still stood back to face it, have become the real Angel in this world. In this world, "Loser is not that who gets beaten up, but the Winner is that who gets up and fights back"
