Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I came across this from a fellow-ACTor's Facebook page (thanks to you-know-who-you-are!) - it is an amazing piece, well worth taking the time to read. http://dumbofeather.com/delve/article/brene-brown-is-a-grounded-academic/ Some excerpts: Everyone is completely feeling isolated and alone and ‘less-than’ and those feelings are the one thing that we all share in common. Going back into the data, there were clearly people who stand right next to us in this culture of scarcity, of ‘not good enough’, but they wake up in the morning and they say, ‘Phew, it’s scary out there, I’ve no idea what’s going on, I’m really imperfect, I’m feeling incredibly vulnerable but I’m enough.’ Emotions won’t kill you but not feeling them will. Our fear of emotion can absolutely kill us. Pain won’t kill us but numbing pain kills people every single day. We’re the most obese, in debt, medicated, workaholic, addicted adults in human history. Pain won’t kill you, numbing pain kills people every minute of every day. Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
