A quote from my professor addressing the lack of personhood assigned to "heroes" or "martyrs" (for example) as a result of seeing them as "more than" or "greater than" others.
We've been discussing complex personhood, "the idea that people are shaped by multiple histories, identities, and contradictions."

Desensitization, conditioning, and teaching denial defense mechanisms are necessary for the soldier who kills the enemy. Who else in society are men desensitized towards the human experience of, conditioned to enact violence upon, and provided with myriad denial and defense mechanisms to escape understanding the harm they inflict?

the static homepage of renowned child psychologist alice miller who was quoted as a source of insight within the work of bell hooks ''all about love"
''For this process to succeed, the adult who has grown up without helping witnesses in his childhood needs the support of enlightened witnesses, people who have understood and recognized the consequences of child abuse. In an informed society, adolescents can learn to verbalize their truth and to discover themselves in their own story. They will not need to avenge themselves violently for their wounds, or to poison their systems with drugs, if they have the luck to talk to others about their early experiences, and succeed in grasping the naked truth of their own tragedy. To do this, they need assistance from persons aware of the dynamics of child abuse, who can help them address their feelings seriously, understand them and integrate them, as part of their own story, instead of avenging themselves on the innocent.''

The scent of cardboard drapes over me like a warm blanket. The sun shines through grand windows, highlighting golden each caramel board of smooth waxed wood-- is it oak?
A cacophony of keyboard clicks and packing tape scratches fills the air. "Where are you shipping to?" "Priority first-class?" "Please fill out this brief survey... Next!"
The room is simple but the essence is untouchable.
There is one of these in almost every town, a smiling face behind each counter. If you are here then you are connected to the rest of the world.
