"Children across the globe are exposed to these different types of adversities and others. For many children, their experiences turn into trauma, bleeding them of purpose, meaning, and desire. For some children, like LeBron, they meet these experiences with resilience, propped up by their biology and community" Hauser, Marc D 2024 Vulnerable Minds. Penguin Publishing Group.

"How have we arrived at what may be the most irresponsible, antisocial, and undemocratic understandings and practices of freedom in modern Western history? Practices that make child’s play of the anarchy Plato warned against as democracy’s fallen state. Of classic liberal anxieties about the unwashed masses wasting liberty for indulgence rather than self-improvement. Of neo-aristocratic worries about the masses having too much say and sway in republics. Today, freedom is the contrivance by which already broken political and social orders are further dismembered and degraded, by which social justice is attacked as totalitarian while authoritarian political power is legitimated, by which racial, gendered, and sexual hierarchies are resecured through conservative Christian annexations of heretofore secular provinces of public and economic life. It is the auspice for flouting public health ordinances, for refusing science and fact on disease and climate change, for waving Confederate flags, for assembling and speaking out as ethnonationalists and even ethnic cleansers, and for carrying guns into restaurants, bars, workplaces, and statehouses. At the same time, it is under these auspices that women are denied control of their reproductive lives, queers are barred from marriage, and Muslims are punished for modest dress. It is the rubric for reintroducing Christian prayer in schools and eliminating textbooks on evolutionary science. Above all, freedom has become a sharp instrument for attacking democracy itself. How did freedom get here?" Wendy Brown 2023

The Govt is out of its depth re propriety for decades; it pretends not to grasp market dynamics for so many things, and by hollowing out public reasoning for decades, our Govt has been able to cover its tracks and present itself as the good guys. 'Low heels in high places' 'cosy chats' that have inhibited multi-axial awareness of the stakes of dispossession, in multiple ways. Our responses to things have long form as too scattered for a small country. 2many have made vocations out of aspect politics, and, often ignoring, often deliberately, how their own intentional acts come about by a certain acquisitive-a bundle of habits-buzz words that de-foreground the nutrients of their own coming to comprehended possession; their own core valuations of their own collective inheritance in spoken words or not.

My pride and my ego are the spoilers to succession? Yesterday, 8th September in a religious calendar, was the Feast of the Nativity of the Nativity of Mary. For restoring sanity, we grew up praying to be line with the succession of saints, and vowing to see failures as tools of learning and grateful for little mercies, where Islands in the Stream are portals of God's Splendour, in the power of the people who digest tragedy and triumph by sacrifice; in recognition of our intrinsic littleness, we have the tools to produce meaning, when in touch with the divine spark and wonder of generosity, creativity and kindness. The assimilative nature of teachings for the general audiences, openness of spirit, beyond ego, to go in peace, to love and serve in the spiritus of expecting nothing, only hope to persist as testament that faith without works is dead. In history, to enter into the divination, the smile of our lady was in our first communion rights, in sync with the Baptism of Entree, we again promise to dial down victimhood (failures) in light of Jesus sacrifice for us, who gives us the Eucharist as central pulse for our lives. The pulse of Jesus is the candle in the window was/is bracing ourselves for the worst of failures-to embrace failure is effortless via God's infinite sacrifice, who died for us on the cross that even his mother accepted in the spirit of the motherland "Democracy. . . .
