In their desperate condition, they sometimes frequent the town\u2019s main street looking for compassionate or na\u00efve souls who might fulfill their hunger for food or money or some substance to simulate an alternate high when their preferred choice of alcohol or drugs is not available. Fortunately, amongst several frustrated town customers and business owners, there are also many compassionate ones who do what they can to alleviate the suffering. I have tried to be amongst the compassionate ones on my infrequent visits from the country side. Such was the situation a few days ago on a cold, snow-packed mid-morning.<\/p>\n<p>As I returned to my car from errands up the street, I passed two men standing near a store front. I sensed they were going to ask for something as I passed, but they did not. But as I pondered my errand list, one hurried over to my driver-side door. I unrolled the window. He said his arm was broken and that he feared to walk up the steep, icy street to get to the homeless shelter on the reservation. His brother Jimmy, he said, needed to come too. Could I take them?<\/p>\n<p>Let me say here, that even though some of these people can be aggressive and violent, the majority have a gentle, humble, polite spirit, augmented by a sense of witty humour. \u201cTom\u201d seemed of the gentle, polite nature and his broken arm looked genuine, bundled under his heavy coat with the left sleeve hanging limp. I opened the back door for Tom and before he was even seated, Jimmy was already ensconced in the front passenger seat. As I backed out from angle parking, I saw Tom try to hand Jimmy a folded S20.00 bill and spoke something in their native tongue that I did not understand. Jimmy waived it back, but seconds later, when it was thrust forward again, Jimmy took it, and Tom said: \u201cOn the way, can we stop at Husky*? Jimmy is diabetic and needs a pop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That registered as unwise, but before I could speak, my mind said: \u201cWhat do you know? Maybe he\u2019s in low blood sugar and needs a sugar spike.\u201d We were then just passing a convenience store, and I said, \u201cOh, you could get it here,\u201d and Jimmy said, \u201cOh no, it must be Husky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Halfway up the hill, the \u201cneed\u201d morphed. Tom spoke: \u201cWe need to get some hand-sanitizer for our work.\u201d My mind heard \u201chand warmers.\u201d My excuse for hearing something not said, was that it was cold outside (and maybe a smidgen of lingering hostility toward hand-sanitizer from the 2020s).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I pulled into Husky and Jimmy held out the folded $20.00 bill? \u201cCould you go up to the counter and get us four hand-sanitizers for our work? I can\u2019t go in because we had an argument here and they won\u2019t let me in anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My mind again, inexplicably, translated: \u201cHand warmers,\u201d and since I wasn\u2019t at all keen about leaving two unknown men alone in my car, I said,: \u201cI think Tom should go in.\u201d So Tom got out, saying \u201cI guess I can try.\u201d Split seconds later he returned saying: \u201cI look too much like Jimmy. They think we are the same. Can you please help us?\u201d He handed me the folded $20.00 and climbed in the back seat.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m now a little concerned, but still compassionate. As I turn the car off and pull the keys, I say, \u201cNow you won\u2019t take any thing while I\u2019m gone, will you? In unison, they exclaim: \u201cOH NO, we\u2019re not that kind of people!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I go to the counter and say: \u201cWe need four hand-sanitizers.\u201d I hand her the $20.00 bill, all the while thinking I will get four hand-warmers. The clerk seems a little brisk as she pulls four mini bottles from a high shelf behind the counter and then drops the change: 4 coins (80 cents) in my hand. \u201cWow, are they <i>that <\/i>expensive?\u201d I say. \u201cFour-eighty each,\u201d she clips. I pick up the \u201chand-warmers,” now registering foggily as hand-sanitizers, and exit with their <i>work<\/i>-stash. As I drop the 80 cents into Jimmy\u2019s hand and say \u201cBoy, are they expensive!\u201d they reply in unison, \u201cYah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when the fog and stupor of compassion vanished. Good grief! hand-sanitizer must have joined behind-the-counter items, like hair spray, (a long-standing local practice) to try to limit the harm caused by drinking substitute toxins. My mind exploded: How could I have been so clueless?! Why did I not see the caution flags flying all the way up that icy hill? Why did I keep imagining \u201chand-warmers\u201d (even when I, myself, said: \u201chand-sanitizers\u201d), so the whole charade could unfold without awareness till it was too late?<\/p>\n<p>As Jimmy pocketed the four mini-bottles, I blurted out: \u201cAre you intending to drink this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>“OH No! It\u2019s for our work.\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>I felt sick. It was <i>their <\/i>money. It was <i>their <\/i>wasteful purchase of a toxin with my \u201ckind\u201d help. As I dropped them off at the shelter, I said: \u201cPlease use this for your hands. Please do not drink it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, yes, for our work,\u201d they said, and thanked me for the ride. As I drove to pick up my sister who had been engaged in more useful service, I lamented my stupidity. In my thoughtless, clueless, stupor, I had let myself be taken for a ride and thus, facilitated their self-harm.<\/p>\n<p>As I waited for my sister who was delayed, I had 20 minutes to lament and then process the truth of this story: that thoughtless, clueless, stupefied compassion can lead us down a path of irreversible harm to self or others; time also to ask myself: Is this what we are seeing and doing all over the world? thoughtless, clueless, stupefied, toxic compassion for people suffering disorders and dysphorias?<\/p>\n<p>Not so long ago, our society and mental health professionals sought to help heal dis-ease; now they clamour to normalize and affirm it, acting as if pretend substitutes will satisfy \u2014 will bring happiness. And worse yet, trans-advocates refuse to acknowledge unhappy de-transitioners and the toxic, irreversible consequences they must endure. \u201cCompassion\u201d has been weaponized to justify and ignore harm and injury in the name of <i>progress<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>So, to those parading and flaunting \u201ccompassion,\u201d please, step out of the stupor and hear the de-transitioners. To encourage confused young people into toxic solutions is thoughtless, clueless, stupefied, if not heinous. To threaten suicide or assign blame for it if one does not get one’s way is manipulative and tyrannical in the extreme. <b>When was that <i>ever <\/i>acceptable?<\/b> Yes, you can posture your compassion in a thousand ways, but to promote the mutilation of floundering youth is criminal, faux compassion.<\/p>\n<p>As for the profiteers who are not thoughtless, clueless, or stupefied, but are pied-pipers for those who are, know this: Justice will not be denied; it can only be satisfied by repentance, mercy, and grace (which must be activated). You may still have (unknown) time to repent and remediate as best you can. <b>Do not delay, whatever the cost.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">PS<\/span><\/b>: How timely that this CBC headline should show up yesterday:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/online-groups-pressuring-youth-self-harm-1.7107885?cmp=newsletter_Morning%20Headlines%20from%20CBC%20News_1613_1393148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Violent online groups are pressuring youth<\/a> into harming themselves, authorities warn | RCMP is investigating suspected cases and urging victims to come forward\u201d** <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>From a 360 truth view, <b>a companion headline <span style=\"font-size: large;\">should<\/span> read<\/b>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201c\u2018Compassionate\u2019 Support Groups are coddling youth into harming themselves, truthtellers warn | RCMP will be investigating suspected cases and urging victims to come forward\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But it seems in our DEI world (where the DEI is nether diverse, equitable, or inclusive) the faux-DEI mantra has morphed into: <b>Feelings don’t care about facts<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>—————————————————\/<br \/>*Husky: a gas \/ convenience store franchise.<br \/>** <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/online-groups-pressuring-youth-self-harm-1.7107885?cmp=newsletter_Morning%20Headlines%20from%20CBC%20News_1613_1393148\">https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/online-groups-pressuring-youth-self-harm-1.7107885?cmp=newsletter_Morning%20Headlines%20from%20CBC%20News_1613_1393148<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why!
