swings and roundabouts

Tony and Rae saw justice prevail swiftly and triumphantly at the Tenancy Tribunal today. (Actually so did Daniel and I – but only from the back row!) Fifteen minutes it took to have the issues resolved, we hope, for good. We left with the sense that the world was as it should be.
For others today, circumstances were completely different. Five months into a new contract my friend was unceremoniously sacked. No warning. No opportunity to state his case. Nothing. It was incredibly inhumane and humiliating for him. Again and again it seems certain people are subjected to grief and lost opportunities as a result of prejudice and discrimination.
My heart is certainly heavy tonight.
