I ’m sitting in my den working on a number of things, I am about to start classes to obtain my therapy license, I am working on the weekly additions to my blog, and I have also been nursing a sore throat that I am sure this Golden Milk recipe I procured is going to cure. So I have been writing and taking some time to reflect. I watched some of the movie “The Revenant” which occurred in the late 1800’s.
It got me to thinking, and when I do that I research, because I need to know everything, because I soak up information like a sponge, I learned to research during some time I spent in recovery. I took to it and never looked back, like a replacement for the fixx I was used to, a healthy alternative I will say.
Upon my research I learned of a revolutionary. I looked up - important people of the 1800’s, during the war -
The fur trapper that the movie was about was not one of them, although he did do some pretty amazing and revolutionary shit, he was not what captivated my attention. It was Rosa Luxemburg. She was an anti-war revolutionary, she fought tirelessly and rejected neo-Kantian arguments in favour of social Darwinism , she believed that “Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently. Not because of any fanatical concept of "justice" but because all that is instructive, wholesome and purifying in political freedom depends on this essential characteristic, and its effectiveness vanishes when "freedom" becomes a special privilege.”
I read from a few books I have, and looked up some articles online. The further I dove, the more blessed I felt . Here I am aggressively fighting for my freedom from sugar, when this woman, this revolutionary was killed for her fight for freedom for everyone in every stance.
The battles we fight are real people, traumatized as we may be by our lives, circumstances and situations. The way we handle the trauma is to our discretion. How we learn and help others is just one of the benefits of trauma. All trauma is trauma, no matter the depth, we are educated by what is experienced, which is why I write and continue to fight all of my battles. There is always someone appreciative of your plight loves, never forget.
