Wake-Up Call
As I got on my daily commute to work, I understandably noticed an air of defeat among my (assumed) fellow progressives. The future seems uncertain and bleak. However I argue, this is a good thing.Â
Social media has blinded us from what is true. As much of a proponent of activism as I am, if it solves nothing than it is wasted time and effort. What do you really expect to come out of a trending hashtag? He will be our president regardless.
Iâve been a pessimist and a cynic my entire life. However, I embrace hope and optimism for the future.
We now can no longer hide behind the facade that everyone thinks like us, the people of the Bay Area. The reality is we are more divided as a country than any data scientist or journalist could ever comprehend. The question now is what do we do moving forward? Because thatâs what itâs all about, progress.Â
We must first look within ourselves. Sit down, soul-search, and reevaluate everything we thought we knew. Adversity breeds greatness, we must work and be better than weâve ever been. Iâve learned compassion this year, and itâs the greatest emotion Iâve ever felt. Be empathetic and compassionate to people, weâre all just out here trying to live. Pettiness is the worst feeling we can exhibit. It solves nothing and creates hate. We need to be fueled by mutual understanding and compromise.
We have a lot of work to do, but I believe we can get there. For the sake of our livelihood and our childrenâs future we must.
What real love is like
Ask anyone about love and theyâll give you an opinion: Itâs written in the stars. Itâs succulent, a rose. Itâs delightful, de-lovely⌠unless itâs a battlefield. In any event, itâs one hell of a feeling, right? We might want to rethink that, says Harville Hendrix, PhD, a groundbreaking marital therapist. Not only isnât love a feelingâlove isnât even an it. âReal love,â says Hendrix, looking slightly professorial in a plum-colored sweater, âis a verb. Itâs a behavior in which the welfare of another person is the primary intention and goal.â While he speaks, his wife, Helen Hunt (not that Helen Huntâthis one helps run their seminars and has coauthored several books with him), listens intently (she and Hendrix were âthe living laboratoryâ for their theories, she interjects) and occasionally touches his arm. âLove as a feeling is ephemeral and goes away when circumstances change,â Hendrix says. âLove as a verb isnât dependent on how you feel or even what you think. Instead you make an unconditional commitment to the other person.â As for those who believe you have to merit love (they include no lesser minds than William Butler Yeats, as well as enrollees in the School of Tit for Tat: You know who you are), Hendrix begs to differ. "You canât earn real love,â he says. âItâs not subject to how good you are or whether youâre pleasing to your partner all the time. So thereâs a kind of detachmentâyou simply hold your partnerâs experience when theyâre going through changing emotions. You can ask, âIs the experience youâre having right now somehow triggered by me?â Sometimes itâs not. People can have stresses you donât know about. But if it is, then you can follow up with, âWhat relational transactions are stirring up your discomfort with me?â The point is, youâre committed to what is real. Namely, your partner. But most of us 'loveâ an image rather than the real person.â He pauses, then looks at his wife. âWhat would you add to that, Helen?â âWell, I would say real love is about going to a different destination,â she says, giving the conversation a quarter turn with a certain exuberant sweetness. âYou become conscious that there is a space between the two of you, and thatâs where the relationship resides.â âThat really needs to be amplified,â he says, âThe between-ness is the locale of love. Itâs outside us.â Thatâs why the proverbial urge to merge is, according to Hendrix, an itch best left unscratched. âIn 'romanticâ love, you think, My lover and I are one. Technically, we call this symbiotic fusion, which means: You live in my world; therefore, if I like chocolate, you like chocolate. In real love, your partner is clearly differentiated from you. Itâs an altered state of consciousness to know that you live with another personâthat other people exist who do not match your inner image of them.â With this deep level of acknowledgmentâthis ticket to what Hunt calls the new countryâcomes an end to judgment. Thatâs not to say you wake up delighted by all of your belovedâs previously irksome habits. But rather than blame, Hendrix says, you can state directly and kindly what you want (âI would like to meet you at 7â), protect yourself (by, say, deciding to hook up indoors rather than on a corner in subzero weather), and try to understand whatâs going on inside your partnerâs head. Even when thereâs a breach of trustâinfidelity, for instanceâHendrix and Hunt caution against a quick split. Instead, says Hunt, âyou have to get curious with your partner about why theyâre doing whatever theyâre doing. Askâthen stop talking and stop judging, and become a safe person to confide in. The sense of judgment and criticism is what can make our partners feel like such a failure that they seek another avenue to express their passion.â
In contrast to the erect figure of the giant are the tiny figures in the valley that are fleeing in all directions. The only exception is a donkey that is standing still, Juan J. Luna has suggested that this figure could represent an incomprehension of the horrors of war.
