"Injustice is unpalatable to all age groups. It confuses the
child, angers the adolescent, appals the adult and outrages those
who have seen its consequences too often. This is because they know
the many human systems in which injustice may locate itself and
'justify' its lodging."

Dear Superintendent
Walshe,
As you may already know, I happened by
chance to meet Garda Thomas Kenny at my brother's business premises
last Saturday afternoon (i.e. November 29th 2008), and I pointed out
to him that (from my viewpoint) there are still a number of
extremely serious medical, legal, and financial issues which remain
completely unresolved in connection with the general subject of your
letter to Mr Gerard Madden (Senior Social Worker) dated July 2nd
2008. (A scanned copy of the letter in question can be viewed
at: http://www.humanrightsireland.com/SuperintendentEndaWalshe/2July2008/Letter.htm
)
After listening carefully to what I had to
relate to him last Saturday, Garda Kenny suggested that I might
usefully consider making an appointment to see you; and, in
addition, he also very kindly offered to help me make such an
arrangement.
However, and welcome though Garda
Kenny's suggestion of last Saturday was, I felt I had to point out
to him that I am suffering from C-PTSD (Complex-Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder); and, that as consequence, I have developed an
unwanted tendency to get extremely angry whenever I attempt to
discuss the issues in question with anybody: including -- very
unfortunately -- those who I believe are doing their best to try and
help me, but who, for one reason or another, cannot (in practice)
actually provide me with the help I need.
As you
may not be aware of it, please note that "explosive anger" is a well
known symptom (among medical doctors, psychologists, and social
workers that is) of C-PTSD -- as can easily be verified via
links such as: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=C-PTSD%2C+explosive+anger&btnG=Google+Search&aq=o&oq=
for example.
The upshot of all this is that
although I would like to meet you for the purpose of discussing my
difficulties, I am concerned that any such meeting with you, at this
particular stage, might prove disastrous for me: for reasons
relating to the "explosive anger"
business.
Although I have tried very hard, over a
period of years, to get the medical treatment I need for the C-PTSD
problem I suffer from, so far my efforts have not been successful.
Please note that (for example) I have not received any reply from my
letter to Dr Anne Jeffers dated November 20th 2008 (a copy of the
text can be viewed at http://www.humanrightsireland.com/DrAnneJeffers/20November2008/Email.htm
).
All things considered, and provided of course
that you are willing, I feel it would be best if you could first
consider the difficulties inherent in my particular case, and then
afterwards let me know if you believe you can help me in any
significant way.
If, upon receipt of written
notification from you that, having reviewed my case (using this
e-mail), you were to inform me that you believe you can further help
me in some significant way, I believe it would then be much safer
for me to meet with you: because I am very strongly of the view that
the risk of unwanted "outbursts of explosive anger" from me would be
greatly reduced in such circumstances.
I would
like to take this opportunity to thank you for your earlier
efforts relating to my case: the results of which have
been hugely beneficial for me in certain
respects.
Changing the subject, I would also like
to take this opportunity to report that a fairly large and heavy
safe (belonging to me) has been stolen from one of the upstairs
bedrooms of the home of my brother (Mr Gerald Finnerty). Though the
safe in question was concealed to a very considerable extent, my
half-sister (Ms Marjorie Dolan) seems convinced that it was in
my brother's home up to sometime around the middle of August of this
year. Although I realised in mid-September this year that the safe
had been stolen, I decided not to mention it to the Garda (up
to now), and this was because I was concerned that doing so
would almost certainly have resulted in another recurrence of
the "explosive anger" problem referred to
above.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon
as you reasonably can please regarding the above request for a
review of my case by you.
For future reference
purposes, I will place a copy of this e-mail at the following
address later today:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/SuperintendentEndaWalshe/1December2008/Letter.htm
Yours
sincerely,
William
Finnerty.

A triangle of thoughts
by Pythagoras
Mon Dec 01, 2008 08:09
To what extent do
"feelings of injustice" influence "culture" in human society, and
why is it that human beings (and indeed some of the higher animals
such as chimpanzees for example) have a very well developed and
potent "sense of justice" genetically programmed into them while in
the womb (and consequently not directly influenced by "local
environment" conditions external to the womb)?
1)
"Justice preoccupies child and philosopher alike. The importance of
fairness is evident in the meticulous manner in which children
demand that it be demonstrated in every
detail."
2) "Injustice is unpalatable to all age
groups. It confuses the child, angers the adolescent, appals the
adult and outrages those who have seen its consequences too often.
This is because they know the many human systems in which injustice
may locate itself and 'justify' its lodging."
3)
"Being the recipient of such an injustice is more than an emotion.
It is excruciatingly visceral. It invades the human psyche with the
most lancing cut. Depending on the severity of the injustice, life
may ever after be divided mentally between the time before and after
the unjust event."
