Seriously, perhaps we should all say and do nothing -- after all it's safer that way. The only problem with that approach is that the little indecencies, the little degradations to our integrity that we overlook soon get stored up in the system as "the way we do things here". Soon all the little pieces of corruption that we have allowed within the system -- overlooking them in order that the individuals who we are can get ahead -- become somebody's else's undoing, someone else's difference between making it and breaking it, someone else's tragedy as they become the victim of racism, sexism, classism, and so on.
So turning a blind eye to small societal abuses, just so we can climb our way up through the system (albeit on the heads of those who must come after us) is a no go.

A shamanistic journey, then.
I am starting to connect the dots as to how the one who is to become the 'wounded healer' is generally the one who has had to fix herself up after society has thrown its shit.
