As I’ve written before, my husband is a Jew, and he feels the same way about the Holocaust. He said he gets tired of hearing about. Now of course, it seems like all that memorializing did very little for anyone. I also remember reading something about how it’s not healthy for a population to hang onto past grievances, and that makes sense. It’s not that we want to bury it, but let’s move forward. (I am, however, very disturbed by the amount of antisemitism we are currently seeing.)
This is also reminds me of when I saw a therapist. In fact, I’ve seen several as an adult. My husband actually talked me into trying one, and I do think it helped. But, I can also tell you that I reached a point where I no longer needed to dwell on all the negative things that happened in my past. I will be reminded of something every so often, and it only makes me more grateful for where I am and what I’ve accomplished. Life is good.
Life aLao isn’t easy, and it’s not intended to be. How do we really know our “worth” if we aren’t allowed to make mistakes, and do a little suffering? How do we learn to move on, do better, grow and feel a certain strength when we are always avoiding confrontation, hurt, shame, fear, whatever?
A horrible disservice is being done to young people these days because parents (the government?) want to keep them “safe” from every possible problem. Who is going to lead us in the future? I guess that won’t be my problem, but I hope it’s someone who has learned how to live.
Black trauma porn is defined as experiences that produce psychological injury or pain usually via some sort of media outlet, museum or park. The injury or pain continually broadcasted, shared or displayed caters to an unhealthy voyeuristic, irresistible desire for, or interest in, a particular subject. A lynch museum and slave park fall into the category of black trauma porn. I'll pass on that family trip to the lynch museum.
