Hello, no idea where this can go, but what is a dignified life for you? do you have a decent life in your countries? I am interested in knowing what they think
Where do you live if I might ask?I've always had a decent life. I live in a peaceful country, I have more than enough to eat, a nice and quiet flat, easy and unlimited access to health care, freedom of thought and even some extra money to play with. My idea of a decent life.
What do you mean by being your own person, what happens that you cannot show yourself as you are?A dignified life to me is a life with freedom and basic needs to survive. I do have the basic needs however freedom, not so much. I've been struggling with oppression and abuse and the basic right to be my own person. Therefore, no.. I don't have a decent life in my country and I wish I could escape.
oh, be careful if it's a very extreme religion better stay awayHijab, forced religious practices that I don't believe in etc
I do not understand your answer too much, maybe it is because it is not my native language, but from what I understand your vision of a dignified life is much more in the person's abilities and his more conscious relationship with the environment around himfriends who don't think it's okay to warehouse children in places called schools, nor to organize society around market-growth or the profit-motive, nor to force drugs or other modifications on people on the basis of ableism/saneism.
the chance to learn the patterns of the plants and animals living around me - clean watersheds - ordinary people having a say in how we treat the ecosystems around us, that not being controlled by a monopoly of rich 'land-owners''.
time to learn different skills just for the sake of curiosity, not because i want to make a "profession" of them.
if not to find romantic relationships with people i'm actually compatible with, then at least the understanding of friends that what i'm looking for in such relationships is reasonable and important to me. not to have my boundaries and preferences treated like they must be trauma-reactions that i should try to 'get over'. the possibility that i could be like this naturally, or intentionally, or (god forbid) even proudly.
