"As we collectively come to understand just what verbal abuse is and how it impacts humanity, we will have a healthier world... For example, a dictator using verbally abusive and controlling behavior could not rise to power if most who witnessed verbal abuse recognized it for what it is!"

"There is something I don't know
that I'm supposed to know.
I don't know what it is I don't know,
and yet I'm supposed to know,
and I feel stupid
if I seem both to not know it
and not know what it is I don't know.
Therefore I pretend to know it.
This is nerve-racking
since I don't know what I must pretend to know.
Therefore I pretend to know everything."

? R. D. Laing

Trashcanman Hi Michael, I hope you‘ve been well. Lozano1830@gmail.com 4w
Bookwomble @Trashcanman George!!! 😃 It's good to hear from you 😊 I have been as well as a curmudgeonly old man can admit to! How've you been? It would be good to see you active on Litsy again 💖 4w
Trashcanman I don‘t think I will be active here again. Although I miss certain people. I don‘t feel like I contribute in any way to this community. I take away from its beauty. You were always nice to me. I always admired you, your intellect, your insight, and most of all your kindness. I don‘t know if you use email, but if you do I‘d love to have a correspondence with you. If not that‘s okay too. Life keeps being life and time keeps moving forward. 3w
Bookwomble @Trashcanman Speaking for myself, I find Litsy an inclusive space, and one where your posts were welcome, and I would find them so again 😊 I'll email you soon 💖 3w
Bookwomble @Trashcanman Just in case it arrives in your junk folder, a quick message to let you know I've sent you an email 😊 3w

Psychotherapist R. D. Laing's poems are distillations of the emotional and psychological knots into which people tie themselves as their relationships entangle. I think I may like these 🧶❤️‍🩹🪢

I have had the worst couple of weeks ar work. My boss, the top guy in our company aside from the owners, quit without notice. I've been crazy busy as a result. To keep my energy (and mood) going, I've been listening to my dopamine playlist on repeat. Part of the track listing is pictured. Music is my therapy. 🤣

We gave out copies of books our late friend loved at his memorial, and I picked this one. Introduced by Aldous Huxley and written by his wife, this unconventional 1963 self-help book contains a series of “recipes,” embodied psychological practices to aid in living life well. I trust, although the title recipe is a bit dated, these recipes can make a difference, but they‘re so involved and wacky that I would only use them in a crisis, to be honest!

This is from the 90s, so the language is dated, particularly the repeated use of the word psychopath. But the exploration of the reality of those with antisocial personality disorder is fascinating. While this is not explored, it actually got me thinking about the potential evolutionary benefit of APD.
