This writing is beyond helpful to me. Since the earliest realization that I was expected to "make my way in the world," survival was the foremost consideration. I have been miserable in most of the 'jobs' I have ever had because I felt, physically, my enslavement to a system that serves only itself. My solution - which I will not state here, but which is extremely risky, though in all ways legal/moral/ethical - is now endangered more than ever. But for the first time, I am glad I made the choices I did, reading this perspective. THANK YOU!
Could I do that? Share another's wound? That Polish man had confidence that he was important enough to save; that gave him courage. What if you don't have confidence that you're important enough to save? You could ask anyway, I guess, and have to live with the "No" that he would have gotten, had he not been of value to the Nazis.
I love Suleika and read her Isolation Journals; I think "American Symphony" deserved the Oscar; I find her, and her brilliant husband Jon Batiste an inspiration. Thanks for this selection!
OMG. When I think of all the times in my long life when I've given myself grief for "not knowing my life path" or "having no goals,"...little did I realize that coddywimpling IS my life path! What a relief! Thank you!
