🕊️ A small voice from a grandmother in Thai society.

🕊️ a small voice from a grandmother in Thai society.

I don't understand, son... 😔

Why is every state project so complicated? 💢

Even though the ID card already exists, 🪪

But they still have to "confirm their identity" over and over again. 😩

Today, public assistance programs are everywhere. 💸

But many people can't reach it because they don't have a civil state card.

No phone. No Internet. 📱

Some are far from the bank. 🏦

Had to ride for hours. 🚗

To go assert your own rights - just for a few hundred baht. 😔

Grandma doesn't have an expensive mobile phone. 📱

There's just an old machine, a keypad. ☎️

But I want my rights, too. 💔

I got up early today, walked in line with him. 🚶‍♀️

The rows are long, the sun is hot, but Grandma's waiting...

When I got to the queue, the officer handed me the phone back.

And say softly,

> "Grandma's phone can't do it..." 😞

That's it, son... Grandma's heart is quiet.

Not angry, but like the whole world says

> "Grandma won't do it anymore."

Grandma really wants to ask the state. ❓

The project helps the people. It should be "easy" for the people.

It doesn't make the old, the poor feel like they're "worthless in the system."

🕯️

This isn't just the voice of a single grandmother.

But it's the sound of "many more people."

It's still in this country, but it's like a forgetful system. 🇹🇭

... Read moreเรื่องราวจากยายในบทความนี้สะท้อนถึงปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้นกับประชาชนกลุ่มเปราะบางโดยเฉพาะผู้สูงอายุที่ต้องเผชิญกับระบบที่ซับซ้อนในการเข้าถึงสิทธิ์ช่วยเหลือของภาครัฐ หนึ่งในปัญหาหลักคือกระบวนการยืนยันตัวตนซ้ำซ้อน ทั้งที่ประชาชนมีบัตรประชาชนอยู่แล้วแต่ยังต้องมีการยืนยันตัวผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัลซึ่งยากสำหรับผู้สูงอายุและคนไร้โทรศัพท์สมาร์ทโฟน ทั้งนี้ หลายโครงการช่วยเหลือของรัฐ เช่น บัตรสวัสดิการแห่งรัฐ หรือโครงการแจกเงินช่วยเหลือ มีข้อจำกัดด้านการเข้าถึงข้อมูลและเทคโนโลยี ทำให้หลายคนโดยเฉพาะผู้ที่ไม่มีโทรศัพท์หรืออินเทอร์เน็ตต้องเดินทางไกลไปถึงธนาคารเพื่อยืนยันสิทธิ์ บางรายต้องใช้เวลาหลายชั่วโมง ซึ่งส่งผลให้เกิดภาระและความรู้สึกถูกละเลย ภาพเหตุการณ์ที่เจ้าหน้าที่ยื่นโทรศัพท์ผ่านมาพร้อมกับคำว่า "โทรศัพท์ยายทำไม่ได้ค่ะ" นั้นเป็นเครื่องเตือนใจถึงความไม่พร้อมและความเหลื่อมล้ำทางเทคโนโลยีในสังคมไทย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งคนสูงวัยที่ใช้โทรศัพท์แบบปุ่มกด และยังไม่มีความชำนาญในการใช้สมาร์ทโฟนหรืออินเทอร์เน็ต การออกแบบโครงการและระบบช่วยเหลือควรมุ่งเน้นทำให้กระบวนการ "ง่ายต่อประชาชน" โดยเฉพาะกลุ่มเปราะบาง ควรมีช่องทางการยืนยันสิทธิ์ที่หลากหลาย เช่น แบบออฟไลน์หรือผ่านเจ้าหน้าที่ชุมชนที่ใกล้บ้าน นอกจากนี้ รัฐควรเพิ่มการสนับสนุนให้ประชาชนเข้าถึงโทรศัพท์สมาร์ทโฟนหรือการเชื่อมต่ออินเทอร์เน็ตฟรีในพื้นที่ห่างไกล เพื่อยกระดับการใช้ชีวิตและสิทธิของทุกคนในสังคมอย่างเท่าเทียมกัน เรื่องนี้ไม่ใช่แค่เสียงเล็กๆ ของยายคนหนึ่ง แต่นั่นคือเสียงสะท้อนของผู้คนจำนวนมากที่อาจถูกลืมหรือไม่เห็นคุณค่าในระบบสวัสดิการของประเทศ การแก้ไขปัญหาเหล่านี้จะช่วยสร้างสังคมที่เป็นธรรมและมีมนุษยธรรมมากขึ้นสำหรับทุกคนในประเทศไทย

The Inner Critic: Whose Voice Is That?
The inner critic is rarely your voice. It’s the collection of echoes from parents, teachers, society, and wounds that told you who you “should” be. But you are not their voice. 🌹 Your job is to recognize it, question it, and replace it with compassion. Whose voice do you hear in your critic
