Let ‘em talk – says way more of them than you

Big Reveal / Revelations

In the drama and dysfunction communication is often indirect. There’s lots of “don’t ask don’t tell” going on.

Recent drama events will often be surrounded by deep denial.

Attempts to address these events…to try to resolve things? can be met with more dysfunctional behaviors as the parties involved cannot sit with their own discomfort.

Thus – they’ll likely not be responsive but rather become defensive, argumentative and in general turning the tables to make something wrong with you for trying to go there.

I’m other words?

More drama will ensue.

Instead of trying to convince them?

Let them have their drama.

Let them tell their stories about you.

Let them hold onto their idea that they were victimized by you, rather than abusive to you.

Once we stop trying to work things out with those who are unable to work things out?

Things sort of just start working out for us.

Childress – Trauma is absence of empathy

David Lucas There is a mind-virus among us. It was born in trauma. It seeks to itself.

Trauma is the absence of empathy. The absence of empathy is the capacity for human cruelty. It is a cruel heart – there is an insensitivity, an absence of empathy, a cruelty – sometimes a sadistic delight in creating suffering in others.

It seeks to itself to justify the cruelty – they “deserve” it – now simply designate the “they” to unleash the cruelty on.

Compassion is a better guide for the child than cruelty. Compassion is a better guide or humanity that cruelty. The pathogen was born in cruelty. The pathogen does not comprehend compassion.

That’s an easy tell – no compassion – the capacity for cruelty – does it take delight in the pain it causes – is causing pain “sport” for it? There is a mind-pathogen among us – born in trauma – born in cruelty.
