Communication can heal wounds

This letter is for the people in Nunavut who live as if they can continuously think that pain is erasable. People who cannot love, or care for other people.

I wish that people would realize the pain and emotional distress that they inflict on others. I have been wounded many times in my life because of men.

The worst thing is when the men don’t even realize how awfully we are hurt – when they don’t, even for a second, it seems, try to be fair. I am so tired of men treating their girlfriends like garbage.

Do these kinds of people have a heart that is poisoned? I know that people won’t change overnight but maybe if people put more care in their partners, show them that they are special, not just a cleaning lady and not just a sex object, perhaps happiness is possible.
In my perception, men around here need to be more open and talkative. I hope some men realize that it is not right for them to put women down and that they become more attentive to their motives, their actions. It is not right to play with one’s mind.
