One of my best friends said, “you do it yourself.”
I remembered that, and ddoubted it a little; -nd then I saw the cover of (a [legal] copy of) a famous ‘70s taxi movie. (very… {IDK if “sexy” is the right word…})
I pointed it out to him, and said, I don’t do it myself.
Edit: This quotes’ been on my mind the last few weeks. “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

“How the US uses sexual humiliation as a political tool to control the masses” (2012 04 17)

I’m thinking, though, that the subtler Victorian mores are more destructive; at least in a shame-centered society.
[Definitely related to “forgive”]
Edit: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/parenting/2008/12/facebook_vs_breastfeeding_phot.html I love this garethharris quote “Of all the galaxies … ”

(Or something like that.)
Gotta find the rest of that; it’s bugging me.
Okay so maybe it’s not directly linked to iatrogenic victimization; or maybe it is. Will have to find the rest of it.
Edit: I’m pretty-sure it was a lady’s writing.

Was reading a book talking about a lady trying to get serious help about her husband’s relationship with their daughter. She went to the police only to be told to use a gun on him. {{no real help}} She went to her church, who sent her a letter not to come back until she had it resolved, (on her own)! {{no real help}} She even went to psychological professionals who told her that they didn’t really specialize in “that sort of thing.” {{no real help}} She may even have went to the child’s school for help. [edit: She did.]
It seems everyone just wants to be left alone; to be free to take the laziest course of action that leads to their most comfortable setting(s).
Really: what vulnerabilities & pains are people willing to share & endure with us? What vulnerabilities am I willing to see? What, of true quality, am I willing to share? What position of power or correctness, or ego {things that I quickly grab & highlight bc they make me look good}, am I willing to give up to be with another in their pain? How do I avoid jumping in (or even want to jump in) with my opinions – both guns blasting?
So I’m thinking about this, & Jaycee Dugard, (actually thinking about something someone said she said; {or something like that}.)
Stolen Indian lands and lives; a country with no identity other than “take what they say you can take [“Manifest Destiny”], then pay your dues on it to us.” No real law; just the law of the jungle.
Lots of heavy thoughts lost recently for equally heavy thoughts. Hard to keep track of what’s where. Back & forth, losing sources, remembering them, trying to be patient, “hold the bird but don’t kill it.”
Edit: Also was wondering if it was more important to have quick, smart replies, or to take one’s time to answer; like old Indians, (& other ethnic elders), do.

From what I gather, it’s not just what a doctor, (or therapist), can do wrong.
And I think something which can cause positive instances in a person’s life to be turned-around and viewed as negative has an especially heinous nature.
I believe L.L. Constantine wrote of it; though I can’t remember where.
