When America Went Fascist

[QueenVee]

...I, on the other hand, put myself into the other man's position, remembered how blind and ignorant I once was, and how dearly I clung to my illusions about the U.S., and how painful it was to let go of those illusions, and felt a great deal of hope that if this journalist is beginning to "get" a few things, then, at some point, he can take the next step....

Beautifully said, Laura.

It seems that a big part of our reality is the huge emotional damage that is done to us all, that makes it almost impossible to even discuss the nature of reality, without coming up against emotional barriers. It is amazing how attachment to an idea, to a subjective reality, or an emotional loop of some kind, can make one absolutely blind to something, or to go off on an emotionally-fuelled tangent.

Beautifully stated, and interesting when considering psychopathology. Passion is at the core of our humanity, but just as Ying is to Yang it seems passion can also cloud our judgment as you mention above...
