#inadequate

[heartofmuse]

There is nothing worse than feeling inadequate, yes, not even feeling hated. I can live with a person's hatred because it is outside of me, I have no control over it, but feeling inadequate is based in me, in the fact that I want so much to give, that I care, that I need to make this work. The fact I can't or people telling you, you don't cut it, your best is not enough, that you have been measured and found lacking. This really fucks me up. I know I have deeply rooted issues because the people I have loved most in life have always made me feel like this and told me in no uncertain terms what they thought. I give and I give, I try and I try but its never enough or good enough. I've felt inadequate all my life...not good enough a daughter, not a good enough a wife, which is why I am not married anymore, not a good enough sister, not a good enough mother. I don't really know if it is them or the really high bar I set for myself, the damn perfeccionist in me taking over. All I know is it hurts, it makes me cry, and it makes me want to run.

The forceful American Catholic liberal Father John A. Ryan, among others, warned that once the sacredness of the individual was weakened, all human rights were placed in jeopardy. Compulsory sterilization of the mentally deficient might well lead to compulsory sterilization of the "socially inadequate", then to "the killing of all sorts of incurables".

Even as I do the adult thing and set aside my pride,

I still dawdle about like a child, unsure of how to fix what's been broken for far too long.

The Rich Man In His Castle the Poor Man At His Gate

Today it was announced that food inflation in Britain is running at 19.1%. Everyone is affected by this massive rise in food prices, the poor more so than the rest of us, as they spend a greater proportion of their income on feeding themselves and their families

At the beginning of the year multi-millionaire Rishi Sunak said to the British people

“I guarantee that your priorities will be my priorities." (Sunak:04/01/23)

Given this promise you would expect his government to be devising strategies and policies to bring down the cost of food. Not so.

Multi-millionaire Jeremy Hunt, Sunak’s Chancellor, responded by telling us that food inflation was a “common problem” around the world and that German consumers had it worse than UK shoppers, as food inflation there was 20%.

I’m sorry Mr Hunt but that’s like saying to a struggling working family who are forced to use food banks because of inadequate wages that they should be grateful they don’t live in Afghanistan, because poverty there is twice as bad as in Britain.  It is a callous response to a very real problem, a response totally lacking in sympathy or understanding. Worse still, it does nothing to alleviate the problem.

The country deserves better.

The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.

[quotes-for-the-soul]

But, you see, I can't say yes to that question "Why?" when I feel like I'm not enough. You can't give away something you do not have. And most of the time I have these nagging thoughts: I'm not enough. I don't matter. I am too needy. These thoughts make me uncomfortable. I need love, but I don't trust it. If I drop my game, my Chandler, and show you who I really am, you might notice me, but worse, you might notice me and leave me. And I can't have that. I won't survive that. Not anymore. It will turn me into a speck of dust and annihilate me. So, I will leave you first. I will fabricate in my mind that something went wrong with you, and I'll believe it. And I'll leave. But something can't go wrong with all of them, Matso. What's the common denominator here?

In the postwar era, Anglo-American eugenic attention extended to the global population explosion – particularly in what was then called the underdeveloped world. No doubt for some reform eugenicists the rapidly multiplying populations of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America represented some sort of immense "social problem group". Yet it required no race prejudice to find a good deal that was dysgenic in the proliferation of people in environments that offered inadequate food, housing, education, and medical care.²⁴

24. Julian S. Huxley, "Eugenics in Evolutionary Perspective" [Galton lecture, 1962], in Julian S. Huxley, Essays of a Humanist (Harper & Row, 1964), pp. 266-67. Osborn argued that whether the social qualities of children from lower-income homes were in origin genetic, environmental, or some combination of the two, their "relative inadequacy" tended to be handed on to the next generation. Frederick Osborn, "Qualitative Aspects of Population Control: Eugenics and Euthenics", Law and Contemporary Problems, Summer 1960, p. 416, copy in American Eugenics Society Papers, box 15.
