WINNER TAKES IT ALL
Having two court cases this week, which had been hanging over me for a considerable time, I now feel free and happy after receiving a positive result.
What I've learned about this whole episode, is that being constantly pent up in my daily fight against the system, my mood has been affected over a long period of time, which in turn, has affected those around me, hampering my self development in the process.
It's tough being kind, compassionate and humble. You can get taken advantage of. So we can all try to be as good as we can but there is still a need for being tough, stubborn and forceful if we are to be successful in life. It would be nice if we could all be more trustworthy, considerate and decent, but it's just not possible when there's so many people out their to potentially ruin our chances of success.
It's not all been bad. I have now learned to be clearer with the laws, got better at understanding them and how/when to fight them. Magistrates are just people at the end of the day but they still have to follow the laws that are in place. Knowing the laws and our rights, gives us a clear advantage, but ultimately, it's how well we come across on the day that matters. Standing up to say your piece is better than having a legal representative do it in my opinion - provided we can communicate without showing any emotion or anger towards the magistrates or court staff.
Another learning from this period, is that the post office are not to be relied upon. There's ways to safeguard against losing letters is to record how the mail is sent. Taking a photo of a letter as it's being handed to a clerk in the post office and getting a send receipt, are all free. This doesn't guarantee the letter will arrive at the other end - but will be a suitable defence against any governing bodies that may question if post has been sent to them. There'll be GPS for location, date stamp and clerk for evidence.
Ultimately, I've learned to follow my own path, make my own judgements by using my head to determine if something is worth fighting for. So-called experts are just people who have information and experience from something that has already passed. Circumstances and events differ in all manner of ways. Therefore, no two situations can be identical. So, being told that acquiring further evidence on this particular occasion would just have been a waste of time, because a foregone decision had already been reached on one piece of 'proof' - this only helped spur me on to find out more. And on this occasion, against all the odds, I've become a winner against the system, learned some new skills and moved forward in my personal development.
My next post will be on how to beat the system so others may benefit too.
