Helpless

Have you ever felt helpless?
This is an interesting word. It's meaning is quite clear, but yet the word hold much more on it's formation than what value has been given to it.
As the dictionary goes, helpless is defined as being as the inability to do something about a situation, or someone who is without protection or support.
That is mostly clear, and how we see it, but the word means in itself "without help".
Now you can be without help and still take action. Anyone trying to make a difference, and generally any good in this world will, more often than not, be acting without help. A lone voice shouting through the noise.
You can be unprotected or without support and still not be helpless. Single mothers that rise to raise a child alone, to work and provided are often unsupported and yet they prevail.
So what bears so much weight when someone is truly helpless. What does it actually mean to be helpless.
Being helpless, is a reflection of an inner state, a state which is immutable. In this state, something strong stands alone, something that represents part of an identity. Something that grew inside the images projected by society. This single core stands at the center of everything and yet, in the blind spot of all the mirrors of civilization.
People around you can't see it, because it is behind the reflections they see of the boundaries created by society. People can even realise that help is needed, and the nice people will try to help. The people who care about you, will support your core concept, even without really understanding.
The problem is change, or better yet, the lack of it.
When that help, that support, your actions and choices, do nothing.Because you see, there is a blind spot, a place where no one withing those constraints can see. Not even oneself. Maybe they can see it exists, but what you see is akin to a black hole, a central vortex of entropy a space that reflect nothing from the world you live in. All identity you throw at it gets swallowed and ignored.
It presence is fierce and strong, keeping your own self boundaries in place. Accessing it would require a lot of realigning to fix all the projections to avoid this blind spot, but it is hard to break such force.
And it is after a lot of effort, and external help, when you realise that other people are helpless to help, that it sinks in the true meaning of helpless.
