The Same Cowardice – From the Same Low Self-Esteem

 

The Same Cowardice

From the Same Low Self-Esteem

Patriarchy:

Father → Mother → Child

The mother doesn’t just give birth to the child from a violent father.

She also allows cruelty toward the child to take place

– by not protecting the child

– and by ensuring it happens without consequence.

Elite exploitation:

Elite → Enabler → Child

The enabler doesn’t just give access to the child.

They also allow cruelty toward the child to take place

– by not protecting the child

– and by ensuring it happens without consequence.

Why do mothers and enablers stay?

They believe they must remain in relationship

– with the father (family)

– with the elite (status).

Because loyalty hides low self-esteem.

The belief that alone,

– one is nothing.

That without a man, a woman cannot survive.

Without status, one is insignificant.

What is “worth”?

What is “value”?

Of a car?

Of a life?

Like merchandise on a shelf,

– isn’t worth the measure of how badly someone wants you

– how tightly someone wants to keep you?

And why would they? For you? For them?

Doesn’t low self-esteem reveal

– a belief in external criteria for esteem?

When low self-esteem goes unquestioned,

– cowardice becomes normal.

We protect power

– because we accept its normalization of worth.

And the child becomes the cost

– of that acceptance.
