The evil in our midst

In Denmark, lately, there has been a lot of controversy around the government, and also the social system, that is really corrupted.

This is the truth, corruption, ridicule and oppression of our weakest citizens has been an issue, and it is an issue.

One of the things I have worked with is the handicapped. Disabled people, with very little ressources. My main task has been to try and support Hanne, who has been fighting with the system for most of her life. The things that she has been through beats your imagination, it is truly evil.

On one hand it is an opportunity to understand what evil really is. You can see it in front of your eyes, and you can fight it, as journalists do; enlightenment, dialogue and so on.

But at the other hand, this is a point of shame. Denmark is supposed to be the epitome of civilisation, and here we are being evil to the weakest of our society.

That is not right.

So there are a couple of questions you have to ask yourself. First of all, what are the means, and how do they work in an ethical frame. I mean, being evil to evil people could sound nice, but your essentially just end up doing the same mistakes as the one you are fighting. So you need to be reflected upon your methods.

As a journalist, my weapon is enlightenment. Exposing the crimes. And that may seem heroic and wonderful. But the problem is, that the system that is systematically oppressing our very weakest, they are not that happy with me exposing them, so they apply pressure, in their normal corrupted way of harassment and censureship.

So you end up being physically and materially attacked by truly evil people. These are not just bureaucrats or imperialists or whatever negative view you have on evil, they are truly evil.

They will steal the children of families that can take care of their families, they will punish disabled people for speaking up.

Not only that, the system is rigged. The institutions that are supposed to do the checks and balances are controlled by the people, that is doing all the oppression.

This has come to the fore, after I started digging around, and that is not good.

However, and that IS good, several parties in the Folketing (our parliament) are talking about a reform.

To me, that should be a reform of transparency, we should be able to know what is going on. But there are others who believe, that the municipalities should be sanctioned.

Well, perhaps I am the idealist, and truly believe in the force of the light in the sense of enlightenment and truth, but there is probably some merit to the idea, that corrupted people should be punished. I admit that.

What it all comes down to, it the fact that a state is judged by the way it treats its weakest citizens. Not just on the surface, but truly. Do a society protect its weakest members, or does it prey on them and treat them viciously.

That is ANY human civilisation.

Yes we need to treat the environment better, protect wildlife, make more forests in Europe, but if we forget the weakest members in our society, then that is grave mistake.

We need to look evil right in its very gaze, and stare it down.

Only in this way, do we make a worthwhile civilisation.

G-d bless the will to look evil in its eyes, and stare it down.
