Being nice gets you liked - it also gets you nowhere. I am despised by people in authority simply for requesting basic human rights. I want my child to have regular meals, kind treatment, an education and occasional outings. They've
fought against giving him that for years, because it's expensive. What price a childhood?
When the authorities tried to stop me making waves on behalf of my autistic son, I formed local pressure groups and made waves on behalf of scores of disabled children. When they tried to stop me making waves on behalf of local children, I made a documentary for BBC 2 about their prejudice and injustice, and made waves on behalf of thousands of UK children. Once, they threatened to take me to court (what - for the new crime of being a good mother?), so I started a law degree to be able to fight them more effectively. They don't seem to understand that passion and conviction can keep
someone going long after they might have run out of energy and money. They will never win.
This quote is Elie Wiesel's (Holocaust Survivor) and it's unbeatable. "The opposite of good is not evil - it's apathy."
