I just attended the funeral of an 18D friend of mine who dedicated his life to helping other people.
He was a high school science and biology teacher that the kids all knew they could go to if they had troubles or just needed someone to talk to.
He was the school's 911 for many things, including stitching kids up, establishing a coherent and sensible emergency response system with the SRO, and handling suicide attempts at the school.
If you knew him, he was just this big, jovial personality with a big, reassuring voice that rarely took himself seriously, but he loved his kids.
Well over 800 people showed up to the funeral. He died suddenly from heart failure at a relatively young age (50s).
He was forced to leave the profession he really loved because someone in the school district called his closeness with the kids into question, most likely out of jealousy.
Hundreds of kids that he helped were at the funeral, along with hundreds of 19th SF Group and members of the community.
I think that the heart is vulnerable to injuries in more ways than medical doctors can explain, and I know he was heart-broken about being treated this way after giving so much of himself in the service of others.
When I worked with him, it was in a voluntary capacity providing medical coverage for a Sniper event out of State. He had done several of these and was a great pillar of knowledge and help to have around, loved by those who knew him and interacted with him.
We had a neighbor that was a lot like this in my last neighborhood who just loved his students and loved to teach them art. He was also forced to retire because they kept on telling him how to change the way he did his job after decades of doing it exceptionally well. The hall monitors were constantly demanding that he be on some page of a certain new book, rather than use his knowledge and skills to instruct and guide the way he was exceptional at when working with kids. He died early as well a few years ago.
My mom shared similar stories with me dating back to the 1980s where the hall monitors were making their rounds to keep teachers on the same sheet.
What a retarded abortion that continues to curse our society with illiteracy and ignorance, especially a society filled with such vast access to libraries and online information while not having to worry about incoming artillery fire or heavy-handed governments censoring everything, cracking down with tanks on protestors, and the things we see abroad.
We can do so much better than this. We're Americans, not little robots that can only execute a few commands dictated from some other robot.
