Me thinx we need to move toward reconciliation, as South Africa is doing with its history. Long ago, at the beginning of her campaign Sen Elizabeth Warren said that we need reconciliation, and she did not know the path. But she knew we need to begin the conversation.
Our capitalist and individualist society breaks the souls of us all, to the point we do not see ourselves in the other. All too many people are hurting in this society and across the globe.
We need to address the inherent poverty built into capitalism, here, across Africa and throughout the globe. We must address the inhumane nature of capitalism - that people are allowed to die on our streets, from a bullet, from poverty, from addictions, from suicides.
Capitalism and our rabid individualism is killing us.
I believe our Progressive Caucus in the US House ought to lead, with Pres. Biden, on this nationwide conversation around reconciliation, individualism and capitalism.
The Maine Jung Center present the film and discussion “Finding Joe. ” The summary states:
A multidimensional film featuring commentaries from Deepak Chopra, Mick Fleetwood, Rashida Jones and others on how Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey finds expression in our lives, and on how his work continues to influence our culture. Take a journey through the human psyche and discover the pattern hidden in every story.
Thanks for the link. It seems I got it just in time, before the program starts. When I was introduced to Campbell some 30+ years ago, I thought, "Now here is a teacher who's able to see the Big Picture and explain it." And I've enjoyed seeing, reading, and listening to his works since then.
It seems to me that reconciliation requires all parties to share at least one common denominator. My suggestion for that starting point would be that all SANE human beings want the same thing: Justice. Working from that base, people could evaluate all of the propaganda pushed on us and then work through the details of what should be saved and what should be tossed out.
Are you familiar with the process in South Africa? I am not. I sense the need for the most aggrieved, particularly indigenous Americans, and African Americans, be welcomed to share their stories. This would lead to a grieving process for our society.
We must grieve for all of the losses suffered in the name of capitalism and capital acquirement by the white patriarchy. We simply DO NOT grieve, but push into our should the pain of our ancestors and oneself.
Americans have great traumatic shame, for our history one’s personal history, as well as our current carnage from guns, poverty, addiction, abuse. We are sick in so many
