You Are Beyond Oppression.

Oppressed people, whatever, their of formal education, have the ability to see the world for what it is and move to transform 

                                            - Ella Baker

Reminiscing on the above name "Ella Baker, an African-American activist human  right activist. I love truth not because it is truth but because  it is good.

Oppressed people

Those are people who has seen and had lived in the most unathorized,horrible, cruel and unjust manners. Their lives have so conformed into suffering that the only option they have is to stop and change that life no matter what.

whatever, their of formal education

To them oppression and all manner of abuse has been formal . It is is so because it has now become a part of their life.

It's  like a child who grew up in pain, to him pain is the new formal. Infact anything you have grown up to accept becomes the new real thing... right?

have the ability to see the world for what it is and move to transform 

For the oppressed they have had the opportunity of seeing the world for what it is already. To them, they found themselves in the world which has itself to bear the formal education of cruelty. They grew into  it, strived and survived. Now having known all this the only goal in their hearts is transformation.  

Mind you, to be oppressed is not to be only physically deprived... no. To be oppressed is when you are made to believe you are less of what you are, when you are made to accept lesser than you can take. It can be at any level, gradient or height. 

... It's time

You could be born rich and still be oppressed, on the other hand poor and still be oppressed. This means that what ever area you are not comfortable with yet you are about to be cooed to accept it then it's time you said, "it's time!!!"

It's about transformation now. It is about moving and marching forward. If you begin to lag behind trust me you are bound to remain behind.

What ever you are going through now is what you should use to transform the world into a better place. If around you there is havoc, it means you should try to instil peace. 

Transformation is about restoring, bringing back, given back and what have you. You should strive to be transformational. 

Finally; let us all, for all we've seen the world as move to transform it.

I remain @gloglo thank you for reading.

Nice one @gloglo. The feeling of oppression is something that takes more than just words of a day to get over. Oppression drives in an emotional broken depressed state that gets the person twisted mentally. This could lead to the person possessing some traits that are harmful to the society. Take for instance sociopath/psychopath; it starts from reacting to how they have been treated. My opinion, an oppressed person needs to see a shrink to get off the bonds of oppression.

We have to be first dissatisfied before we can push for transformation. Change can never occur if we don't see the need to.
