I was privileged in the way that my mother taught me to think about where other people are coming from, and to try not to assume the worst in them because we often don’t know their side of things. It was a powerful lesson in empathy. I felt drawn to the title of this podcast because I think it’s a powerful catalyst of the grassroots evolution that needs to occur. Interestingly there have finally been cultural stories coming out providing this exact thing - Maleficent, Cruella, Wicked, etc. i think there’s been a slow awakening to the idea that everyone deserves to tell their story and be understood- and that peace won’t come until we do the work that follows -as Jeff was saying - tolerating everyone at the table giving input.
Also noticed at one point Tasha saying “people who are opposed to us” - (or some similar statement) and I appreciated the choice of words in place of the word enemy. Also want to think more on the terms ignorant and privileged in this context.
And when Tasha mentioned the bugs in the ecosystem I couldn’t help but think of the kids book I adore called “Carl and the meaning of life” by Deborah Freedman. It’s about a worm questioning his importance and the message is simple yet really poignant and special.
I’m not sure yet how to describe the space where I shift from present to thought, but I did briefly take as my object of focus -observing myself from the outside from the corner of the room (which I’ve done before) and then it morphed into spending time with/observing my brain, which was a personable yet silently pulsing fatty blob, which was new and super weird and funny feeling 😂
