The Children of Victimizers ~ The Invisible Legacy of Multigenerational Trauma

ByJorge D. H. Prosperi February 11, 2023April 1, 2023

The trauma produced by inhuman victimization does not stop with the victims. The multigenerational trauma lingers on many levels and layers.

The threads remain connected between victims, the victimizers and their children.

Dr. Yael Danieli (clinical psychologist, traumatologist and victimologist) does not exclude the psychological trauma inherited by the children of victimizers.

That is, the needless trauma that Domestic Terrorists, White Supremacists, Insurrectionists and Hate Groups inflict on their children.

The trauma sowed unto others is reaped by the innocent.

Deconstructing the Golden Rule ~ Treat Others as They Wish to be Treated

ByJorge D. H. Prosperi February 10, 2023March 28, 2023

“Do unto others . . . ” you know the rest.
It was always preached – right?!
So easy to say – maybe too easy, and for a reason.
Is it all about “me, myself and I” with casually mentioning the “others”?
How about –
“Do unto others as they wish to have done unto them.”
Let’s see which one passes the test of recognition, authenticity and validation . . . in the 21st Century.

Citizenship ~ Essence, Meaning and Context

ByJorge D. H. Prosperi February 10, 2023March 12, 2023

When, how and why do we learn about our citizenship?
Is it an absolute construct?
Is it ever morphing, authenticating and amplifying its essence, meaning and context?
Is it all about privileges or does it come with life-long responsibilities?
Is it regional, national and/or global?
Does it seek veracity and credibility?
These are some tough critical questions that perhaps need review – more often than just every two or four years.

Game of Thrones and Throngs ~ When Fantasy Mirrors Reality

ByJorge D. H. Prosperi February 6, 2023March 18, 2023

“Littlefingers and White Walkers”
One a human misogynistic, narcissist, charlatan always lying creating chaos.
Then the White Walkers scaring Ice and Fire out of us!
Both were extremists, fear mongering, bent on leaving ashes behind.
They were a threat to man, woman and child.
But only a fantasy in George R. R. Martin’s mind.
Exhale – It’s 2023 and we live in the real world of the 21st Century – right?
No need to fear political charlatans and extreme Domestic White Walkers – right?
