"And because no one came to his birthday party, one week later we’re in a war."
- a friend of Rebecca Solnit's
- No love received as a child
- Splits psyche to cover up feelings
of unworthiness and shame
(to avoid mental illness or suicide)
- Confuses attention with love
- Realizes attention most effectively
gained through acts of destruction
- Attention satisfies only briefly
- Doesn't realize that love and attention
are very different energies (love being
our sustenance, our life-source)
- Seeks more and more attention
primarily through acts of destruction
in an attempt to receive love
So perhaps we love them as souls while demonstrating that we've had enough
of their actions of lack, limitation and separation.
Perhaps we do our own shadow work and heart-centeredness practices so when we
stand for the interconnectedness of all beings we're an inevitable force to reckon with.
