I once knew a man who's whole world seemed to have endless opportunity. He was bright smart articulate. passionate. He told me he was a budding physician. listening to him one could hear the passion in this voice ,
He told me in had come to America to further his education and build his own American dream
I think we here often forget what it is like have a goal and from a early age that be ur one dream ur one love.
He often told me stories how he would stay he his room for days to study for test. I could easily see he was a man who had traded his wilds of a young man for the passion for Higher education.
The first year was wonderful I watched him flourish get excited that his goal was in reaching distance.
One day he said to me We have a new Administrator and I don't think he likes me,,,,
This I dismissed I couldn't understand how anyone could not find the him a wonderful Doctor He would say I want to treat my patients like my family.
Then one day he called me. His voice was so different almost like choking back tears. He said " sit down I have been fired form the clinic"
Really I couldnt believe it.Since then 2 yrs later I have watched him die rot inside lose hope lose faith .Lose his faith in America in our system
He screams there is no justice..He screams racism
He said he has lost everything even his self. He fights like a drone a empty shell. He said hate rules his actions now where once love and compassion were the foundation of his life
I always say Things will get better,You will be ok Justice will prevail....But these word mean nothing to the person he is
