That must be so sad for you... So many of us get let down by those we have admired and respected. Power and even acceptance and respect can sadly corrupt, I'm afraid.
Keep the faith - there are still many who share your views and ideas and some of us you find in very odd places!

As far as I can see it happens eventually in all human groups, clubs, political parties etc. Hold the line of what you truly believe in.

Oh Vershakale , bless you with whatever you need to feel and nurse your sadness. This too shall pass

I wonder what it is trying to tell you ?

Changes have taken place. Change is inevitable . Your challenge is to roll with the punches.Bless you as you transform your sadness and this experiejce into positive opportunities and possibilities. You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are.

" We must be the change we wish to see in the world."-- Gandh

Maybe this will make you see even more clearly what needs to be done ??

Hey Varsha. Sorry to hear you're disillusioned with the various groups you once admired - but Phil is right, you stick to your beliefs and goals, as they are what truly matter. May be a corny way of looking at things but go with your heart...hope you're feeling happier soon. Lee x

It is not good to feel dissapointed with the behaviour of people who you hold in high esteem. I am sorry to hear that your experience of the Conference made you feel bad.

you are onde stronger woman,your power stay in your soul and your heart, in your good intentions. hope my litlle friend,its not possible kill de true. stand up and belivie

Well, I`m sorry for you too, but things like that happen all the time. This is why I don`t trust people, who I do not know.

oh im so sorry you are upset, it must feel awfle. Dont allow anyone to bring you down about anything, keep your head up Varshakale, and you'll go a long way. xx

And yet you have probably accomplished far more recently than they will ever hope to. Don't lose hope.

Sorry to hear that Varsha. I wait to hear more on the subject x

Hi Varshakale:

My English is not very good.
Often we admired the people, and we received some deception, the important thing is not to lose our ideals, not to change them.
To always follow in the fight, without losing the authenticity.

I admire and thanks to you to be here.

sounds awful Varsh, but just remember, we are all humans and therefore fallible. im not quite sure what happened but i hope there will be a way forward for you. Stay strong and focused

Varsha *hugs* I relate to how you feel. Hurt and Betrayal is an awful feeling.

The womens movement and academic Feminism has often suffered as a result of infighting and factionalism. It sets back our progress. We dont always speak with one voice.. Sometimes other women can be our biggest opponents and enemies. Sometimes they can do the job of upholding the patriarchial order better than men do!! It makes me sad that sisterhood is compromised in this way.

But dear Varsha, I know your ethos, your gut instinct, is your strongest motivating factor. Be not disuaded by the treachery of others. You are better than that. Your vision rises above the canopy. You allow light to stream in. Lighting a pathway to justice, equality, and freedom for the women you see, the women you passion and pity.

Keep going Varsha. I trust you.

Hello Varsha sorry to hear you are feeling let down and sad -(so am I) so please accept a virtual hug x

Sorry to hear about your sadness.

In a way, it might be an indication that you have out outgrown some of the steering bodies at the National Conference of 'autonomous' women groups.

And maybe it is time for them to review what they are about.

I hope you have cheered up a little since then

O

Yes, how is our floral garland of femme freedom, feeling today?

Thats the spirit!! Ahh I admire you so!!
