In another post I posed the question as to how the suburban housewife is suddenly launched into street life.
What exactly is assaulting the innocence of the stay at home mom or working suburban tiger mom?
What monster is responsible?
I've realized the answer was right in front of me the whole time.
This monster doesn't exist.
The suburbanite has never been innocent in drug culture...EVER! Nor have they been innocent in any other vice of epidemic proportions.
These benzo driven members of society have always been high and have always looked the other way.
I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Abducted in Plain Sight." It follows a family whose young daughter is taken advantage of by a family friend. Turns out he not only had sex with their underage daughter but he also had sexual encounters with the mother AND the father.
Suburbia is a trash can of vice.
They look down on the poor and call them losers. All the while they rape, murder, sell children as sex slaves and profit off of unwanted children.
I've seen this with my own eyes. I see these demons walking around everyday as if they did nothing. Their pupils drawn in with mechanical smiles on their faces. They want you to believe that they are so happy.
Trust me. They're not.
Any fool can see that someone who is truly happy could not be persuaded to live out on the street for drugs. Someone who is truly happy would have found a way to avoid the addiction.
They were numbing something. They have been numbing the haunting ghosts of negligence, indifference and disregard for human suffering.
To sometimes ease the pain, they hand out crumbs of acceptance. Sometimes they try to embrace their victims as if their hands are clean.
And when that person refuses to smile and make them feel comfortable then they have an "attitude."
That monster that doesn't exist is the lack of action when it mattered most.
A friend of mine once abruptly yelled through the phone at me: "Not everyone is that brave! Not everyone can stand up for what is right!!"
She's correct. Not everyone can do that. But every single person walking this earth can and will be subjected to the consequences of both action and inaction.
One of the nastiest of those consequences is the Opioid Epidemic.
Maybe next time suburbia will find the courage to speak up against evil.
But I wouldn't count on it.
