Exploring the being of knowing

Avoidance and denial, lesson #1

Anger and attacking the person that is making accusation is often the first response of a person in denial against the truth of himself.

Notice how the republican senators acted yesterday at the hearing. They, and people like them are who needs to go. They divert the attention away from the boys club and the behavior that is permitted as an institutional maximum by referring to the very rules that support that kind of bad behavior, as if that institution justifies their behavior without their even having to talk about it.

They and Kavanaugh are indignant because their facade of righteousness is being challenged. And they feel their character is beyond reproach; but it is in question because they see themselves as insulated from such line of view, that they should not have to answer about their actions because their institutionalism is supposed to shield them from such scrutiny.

The basic truth is that they are immoral in areas that we no longer allow to be excused, and they are using the institution to avoid.

This is the issue we are up against: the Institutional sexism and racism of the American government.

I don’t know about you, but going forward, I’m going to vote only for women and people of color candidates. White men: if Kavanaugh is brought in, then you have lost my vote across the board.

I dont even care any more. 😛

About this blog

Essays in mental health philosophy—less “tips,” more why things work (or don’t). I look at the first principles under therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and everyday life, and occasionally share notes from papers and books-in-progress.

This space stands alongside—not inside—my counseling practice. If you’re seeking therapy in Colorado, there’s a link in the footer.
