“A society built upon the ruins of the working caste cannot be maintained, if for no other reason, eventually no one will work for you, choosing your eventual ruin as silently as you stood in the remnants of their parent's lives.”

— Thaddeus Howze as the Cognitive Dissident
Image text: “No one is ‘vilifying’ rich people. This is a do-it-yourself project. If you run a billion dollar company but only pay your friends while ignoring the people whose labor makes you rich, you ARE a villain. You couldn't be further from your humanity, if you tried.” — The Cognitive Dissident, Thaddeus Howze Image of a corporate headquarters building with a caption: “As a psychopathic creature, the corporation can neither recognize nor act upon moral reasons to refrain from harming others.” — Joel Bakan Image created by: Human Reform Politics: A force for positive change

Capitalists should never be allowed near a healthcare system. They hold sick children hostage as they force parents to bankrupt themselves in the desperate scramble to pay for medical care. The sick do not have a choice. Medical care is not a consumable good. We can choose to buy a used or new car, shop at a boutique or a thrift store, but there is no choice between illness and health. ~ Chris Hedges JOIN US AT HUMAN REFORM POLITICS

Empathy is at the core of enduringly successful caregiving in which quality of life for the both care partners thrives.

#quote #Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth
Empathy “When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh
