Revolution, Awakening, And Leaving Abusive Relationships All Happen In Unexpected Ways by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2022-01-26T13:27:27Z People don't generally leave abusive relationships in egoically satisfying, Hollywood-friendly ways. I point this out because those of us who are watching the people's abusive relationship with predatory power structures and hoping for revolutionary change often tend to envision the status quo ending in an epic way that will make for a good story and let us feel good about ourselves and how right we were. And that just isn't how these things tend to go. Reading by Tim Foley. Genre News & Politics Comment by Artemisia yes - thing happen because spring is here - the sun is a little warmer - there's more light or at a new angle. Thank you. This is actually why I don't believe in visualisation exercises that supposedly allows us to create or attract the new reality - then we'd be disappointed because it never will be the way you imagined it. There's a gap between the imagined future and reality. Remembering Walter Benjamin's thesis on history. 2022-01-26T14:42:25Z
