Le bilan des ยซ crimes du communisme ยป รฉtabli par lโhistorien franรงais Stรฉphane Courtois dans son ยซ Livre noir ยป sonne comme un rรฉquisitoire. Lโauteur dresse un scandaleux parallรจle entre communisme et nazisme et invoque lโidรฉe dโun tribunal de Nuremberg pour juger les responsables. Quโimporte que les chiffres citรฉs soient manipulรฉs, voire faux, que plusieurs coauteurs se soient dissociรฉs de Stรฉphane Courtois, nombre de journalistes, sans avoir pris la peine de lire le livre, en ont fait un รฉloge dythirambique.
Longtemps aprรจs, les chiffres restent approximatifs et ne fournissent guรจre quโun ordre de grandeur. Pour la rรฉpression de Sรฉtif (1945), les estimations vont de 6 000 ร 45 000 morts. A Madagascar (1947), il y aurait eu 80 000 victimes. En Indochine (1946-1954), les chiffres varient selon les sources de 800 000 ร 2 millions de morts, et en Algรฉrie (1954-1962) de 300 000 ร 1 million. Mรชme sans tenir compte de la Tunisie et du Maroc, et en sโabstenant dโรฉvoquer les responsabilitรฉs franรงaises dans des catastrophes plus rรฉcentes, comme le gรฉnocide rwandais, cette sinistre comptabilitรฉ atteste que, si lโon rapporte le nombre de ses victimes ร celui โ mรฉdiocre โ de sa population, la France se place dans le peloton de tรชte des pays massacreurs de la seconde partie du siรจcle.
Elle persรฉvรฉra avec tant dโobstination que lโobservateur pourrait en dรฉduire que le crime รฉtait ontologiquement liรฉ au rรฉgime politique en place. Car cโest bien de crime quโil faut parler. La rรฉpression menรฉe pendant deux dรฉcennies sur deux continents prรฉsente les caractรฉristiques du crime contre lโhumanitรฉ tel que dรฉfini par le nouveau code pรฉnal franรงais : ยซ Pratique massive et systรฉmatique dโexรฉcutions sommaires, dโenlรจvements de personnes suivis de leur disparition, de la torture ou dโactes inhumains (โฆ) ยป
La seule organisation politique dโimportance ร se dresser contre cet enchaรฎnement aussi cruel quโimbรฉcile fut le Parti communiste franรงais (PCF). La mรฉmoire de ses vรฉtรฉrans est peuplรฉe des souvenirs dโune lutte difficile menรฉe dans une solitude presque absolue. En face, ce passรฉ-lร passe trรจs aisรฉment, et M. Franรงois Bayrou, hรฉritier politique dโune dรฉmocratie-chrรฉtienne impliquรฉe plus quโaucune autre formation dans la rรฉpression colonialiste, ne sโencombrait pas de rรฉminiscences importunes lorsquโil brandissait, ร la Chambre, Le Livre noir du communisme vers le bord opposรฉ de lโhรฉmicycle. La mรฉmoire aussi peut รชtre ร gรฉomรฉtrie variable.
Tordre les faits
Un livre ? Des livres. Un assemblage hรฉtรฉroclite auquel lโintroduction et la conclusion de Stรฉphane Courtois, maรฎtre dโลuvre, sโemploient avec vigueur ร donner sens. Lโรฉditeur nous confie que le regrettรฉ Franรงois Furet avait acceptรฉ de rรฉdiger la prรฉface. Elle eรปt รฉtรฉ en tout cas intelligente. Stรฉphane Courtois relรจve dโune autre pratique : son texte consacre lโirruption de la technique publicitaire dans la dรฉmarche historienne. (Aussi, apprรฉciant ร sa juste valeur ยซ le choc des photos ยป, dรฉplore-t-il longuement la pauvretรฉ iconographique de lโouvrage.) Ses postulats atteignent sans effort ร lโefficacitรฉ du slogan. Le communisme porte en lui la terreur comme la nuรฉe lโorage. Cโest inscrit depuis toujours et ร jamais dans son code gรฉnรฉtico-politique.
Thomas More, auteur dโ Utopia, dรฉcapitรฉ en 1535 sous Henri VIII, nโa-t-il pas un monument ร sa gloire sous les murs du Kremlin ? Plutรดt que dโinscrire ร lโinventaire des crimes, sans commentaire, la dรฉportation des Allemands de la Volga, en 1941, nโeรปt-il pas รฉtรฉ รฉquitable dโindiquer que des considรฉrations dโordre stratรฉgiques รฉvidentes pouvaient lui donner au moins un dรฉbut de justification ร lโheure oรน le pays luttait pour sa survie ? Aprรจs tout, les Etats-Unis internรจrent sans autre forme de procรจs, pendant toute la durรฉe de la guerre, des milliers dโimmigrรฉs japonais souvent installรฉs de trรจs longue date et qui ne prรฉsentaient assurรฉment pas le mรชme danger potentiel.
Tant dโacharnement obsessionnel dรฉconcerte. Les raisons de sโhorrifier ne sont-elles pas suffisantes ? Lโinstrumentalisation propagandiste des victimes ne marque-t-elle pas du mรฉpris pour leurs souffrances ?
Cโest que Stรฉphane Courtois a fixรฉ ร sa campagne une cible ambitieuse. Sachant que les crimes nazis, et notamment la tentative dโextermination des Juifs dโEurope, sโinscrivent dans la mรฉmoire collective comme lโabomination absolue, il veut รฉtablir une analogie entre nazisme et communisme. Avec 25 millions de victimes pour lโun et une รฉvaluation de 100 millions pour lโautre, la preuve serait apportรฉe que le second est quatre fois plus criminel que le premier. Certes, les victimes ne se comparent pas. Juifs et Tsiganes furent assassinรฉs en tant que tels. Citant les discours des bolcheviks, que la rhรฉtorique rรฉvolutionnaire tenait ร lโรฉcart de la nuance, Stรฉphane Courtois doit bien admettre que, sโils vouaient ร la liquidation leurs ennemis bourgeois, koulaks, etc., cโรฉtait ยซ en tant que classe ยป. Il introduit donc le concept dโun ยซ gรฉnocide de classe ยป qui serait lโexact รฉquivalent du ยซ gรฉnocide de race ยป. Lโimposture intellectuelle sidรจre par son audace. Aux yeux des nazis, un Juif restait de sa conception ร sa mort dรฉfini par sa judรฉitรฉ.
Un bourgeois dรฉpouillรฉ de ses biens sort de la bourgeoisie. La Rรฉvolution franรงaise a voulu, et dans une certaine mesure accompli, la liquidation de lโaristocratie en tant que classe, ou caste. Mais les ยซ ci-devant ยป dรฉpossรฉdรฉs de leurs titres et privilรจges nโรฉtaient pas automatiquement promis ร lโรฉchafaud, oรน ils furent moins nombreux ร monter que les ouvriers ou les paysans. Stรฉphane Courtois รฉcrit : ยซ La mort de faim dโun enfant de koulak ukrainien dรฉlibรฉrรฉment acculรฉ ร la famine par le rรฉgime stalinien ยป vautยซ la mort de faim dโun enfant juif du ghetto de Varsovie acculรฉ ร la famine par le rรฉgime nazi. ยป La comparaison ne vaut rien car lโenfant ukrainien survivant ร une famine circonstancielle avait une vie devant lui, alors que lโenfant juif rescapรฉ de la faim nโavait pour avenir que la chambre ร gaz de Treblinka.
Dans son acharnement ร tordre les faits, Stรฉphane Courtois va jusquโร enrรดler le responsable SS Rudolf Hess, selon lequel sa hiรฉrarchie lui aurait fait parvenir une documentation pรฉdagogique sur les camps soviรฉtiques. Mais Rudolf Hess allait crรฉer un camp sans prรฉcรฉdent, ni รฉquivalent โ Auschwitz โ quโaucun รชtre sensรฉ se songerait ร comparer aux pires รฉtablissements du Goulag. Quoi quโils en aient, Stรฉphane Courtois et ses semblables buteront toujours sur lโirrรฉductible singularitรฉ de la Shoah.
Le temps et lโespace annulรฉs
Avec Nicolas Werth, qui consacre plus de deux cent cinquante pages โ un livre dans le livre โ aux ยซ violences, rรฉpressions, terreurs en Union soviรฉtique ยป, nous quittons une littรฉrature รฉvoquant la pire agit-prop des annรฉes 30 et rรฉintรฉgrons avec soulagement lโhistoire. Mais pourquoi faut-il que ce travail remarquable paraisse sous un si douteux pavillon ? Pourquoi surtout sโรชtre fourvoyรฉ dans un projet ร ce point rรฉducteur ? Le maรฎtre dโลuvre, Stรฉphane Courtois, qui affectionne le spectaculaire, nous livre son pronostic ร propos de Staline : ยซ Sans doute รฉmergera-t-il, aux yeux de lโHistoire, comme le plus grand homme politique du XXe siรจcle, rรฉussissant ร hisser la petite Union soviรฉtique de 1922 au rang de superpuissance mondiale. ยป
Le moins quโon puisse dire est que la contribution de Nicolas Werth ne livre pas la clรฉ dโune incontestable ascension. Que la sociรฉtรฉ soviรฉtique ait รฉtรฉ cette sociรฉtรฉ violentรฉe et martyrisรฉe quโil dรฉcrit avec minutie, personne nโen doute. Mais elle ne fut pas que cela, car ni le travail forcรฉ au Goulag, dโun rendement รฉconomique plus que mรฉdiocre, ni la coercition exercรฉe sur les esprits ne peuvent rendre compte dโune dynamique qui transforma effectivement le pays. Limiter lโhistoire de lโURSS ร celle de la terreur est aussi rรฉducteur, toutes proportions gardรฉes, quโune histoire de la IV e Rรฉpublique qui ne traiterait que de ses turpitudes coloniales en nรฉgligeant le fait que ce malheureux rรฉgime sut par ailleurs ragaillardir et lancer sur la voie de la prospรฉritรฉ une France รฉpuisรฉe par la guerre et lโoccupation.
Bien loin de donner ร comprendre le passรฉ, un tel choix lโopacifie et fait mรชme du prรฉsent une รฉnigme. La frivolitรฉ aveugle des Occidentaux, les intellectuels au premier rang, est sรฉvรจrement stigmatisรฉe dans le livre, Stรฉphane Courtois allant jusquโร sโรฉtonner รฉtrangement du fait que, de nos jours, ยซ des groupes ouvertement rรฉvolutionnaires sont actifs, et sโexpriment en toute lรฉgalitรฉ (soulignรฉ par nous), traitant par le mรฉpris la moindre rรฉflexion critique sur les crimes de leurs prรฉdรฉcesseurs (โฆ) ยป.
A lโEst, les populations concernรฉes ont ร coup sรปr plus de luciditรฉ et gardent mรฉmoire du passรฉ. Si le rรฉgime quโelles ont subi se rรฉduisait ร une lugubre succession de rรฉpressions sanglantes, comment comprendre que lโidรฉe communiste conserve parmi elles tant dโadeptes ? Comment expliquer que la Pologne, la ยซ nation-ennemi ยป dont Andrzej Paczkowski nous rappelle les trรจs rudes รฉpreuves, ait, une poignรฉe dโannรฉes aprรจs lโimplosion du bloc soviรฉtique, รฉlu le plus dรฉmocratiquement du monde un prรฉsident et une majoritรฉ parlementaire nรฉocommunistes ?
Que dire enfin dโun esprit de systรจme qui annule le temps et lโespace ? Pour le maรฎtre dโลuvre, lโidรฉologie communiste doit รชtre toujours et partout la responsable unique dโune terreur monotone. Rรฉtif aux amalgames sommaires, Jean-Louis Margolin indique lโimportance de la tradition confucรฉenne dans les pays communistes dโAsie, Cambodge exceptรฉ, et souligne son rรดle spรฉcifique dans leur histoire rรฉcente, y compris dans ses aspects les plus tragiques. Pascal Fontaine aurait pu, sโagissant de Cuba, rappeler la tradition rรฉgionale du caudillisme que Franรงois Maspero a parfaitement mise en lumiรจre ร propos de Fidel Castro. Par quelle aberration peut-on enfin englober dans la mรชme condamnation des sandinistes nicaraguayens qui remirent dรฉmocratiquement en jeu leur pouvoir et les fous furieux du Sentier lumineux ?
Un grand absent : lโadversaire. Chaque expรฉrience communiste est dรฉcrite comme si elle se dรฉroulait en vase clos, coupรฉe du monde extรฉrieur. Pourquoi Nicolas Werth sโabstient-il dโรฉvoquer lโinterventionnisme รฉtranger acharnรฉ ร juguler la jeune rรฉvolution bolchevique ? Sโil est un รฉvรฉnement central dans lโhistoire de Cuba, cโest bien la tentative de dรฉbarquement en 1961 dโune force dโinvasion inspirรฉe et armรฉe par la plus puissante nation du monde. Elle rend compte, par exemple, du quadrillage de lโรฎle par les comitรฉs de dรฉfense de la rรฉvolution (CDR). Mais lโรฉpisode majeur de la baie des Cochons nโest mentionnรฉ que pour nous apprendre que Castro sโen servit comme ยซ prรฉtexte ยป pour interdireโฆ la revue La Quincena !
La volontรฉ amรฉricaine dโen finir ร tout prix avec lโexpรฉrience sandiniste, y compris en bloquant les ports par des champs de mines, nโest pas une seule fois รฉvoquรฉe. On sait pourtant combien le complexe dโencerclement, lโintervention รฉtrangรจre et le blocus offrent un terreau fertile ร la paranoรฏa rรฉpressive. Leur รฉvacuation permet sans doute aux auteurs de dรฉcrire des forces du mal rรฉvรฉlant leur essence intrinsรจquement perverse face ร un monde sโastreignant strictement au rรดle du spectateur horrifiรฉ ou passif. Mais lโescamotage annule une dialectique qui forme la trame mรชme de lโhistoire et sans laquelle elle devient cette ยซ histoire contรฉe par un idiot, pleine de bruit et de fureur, et qui ne signifie rien ยป.
Autre absent : le facteur humain. Faut-il redire aprรจs tant dโautres que les militants communistes adhรฉraient ร un projet qui se voulait universel et libรฉrateur ? Que cet idรฉal ait รฉtรฉ dรฉvoyรฉ ne retire rien ร leurs motivations. Elles suffiraient ร elles seules ร les diffรฉrencier de leurs adversaires nazis dont le programme affichรฉ consistait ร soumettre ร une ยซ race ยป dรฉclarรฉe supรฉrieure des peuples tenus pour infรฉrieurs et condamnรฉs ร lโasservissement quand ils nโรฉtaient pas vouรฉs ร lโextermination. Un nazisme acceptable pour lโhumanitรฉ nโest pas concevable : il y a contradiction dans les termes.
Mรชme le bilan terrifiant des victimes accumulรฉes par la perversion de lโidรฉal communiste ne parvient pas ร abolir lโespoir dont il fut porteur ร travers le monde. Sans doute lโhistoire de lโInternationale communiste possรจde-t-elle ses chapitres noirs, mais la rรฉduire au schรฉma expรฉditif quโen donnent Stรฉphane Courtois et Jean-Louis Pannรฉ ressortit ร la caricature. Il y a plus de vรฉritรฉ sur les ยซ commis-voyageurs de la rรฉvolution ยป chez Malraux, Koestler ou mรชme Jan Valtin que dans ces pages qui voudraient les enfermer dans le rรดle de machines ร tuer, mais ne les empรชcheront pas de voyager encore longtemps dans lโimaginaire des hommes.
La sanction historique et dรฉfinitive du nazisme, cโest sa dรฉfaite : les prรฉtendus surhommes ont รฉtรฉ dรฉsarmรฉs et renvoyรฉs dans leurs foyers. Lโhonneur et lโavenir du communisme, ce sont des militants ร lโimage dโun Artur London qui, aprรจs avoir vouรฉ sa vie ร une cause gรฉnรฉreuse, souffert torture et dรฉportation du fait de lโennemi, connut la tragรฉdie dโรชtre martyrisรฉ par ceux quโil croyait les siens, rompu par une mรฉcanique impitoyable, et en ressortit pourtant fidรจle ร lโidรฉal de sa jeunesse.
Le poids du prรฉsent
Quant au Livre noir du capitalisme, il sโรฉcrit tous les jours sous nos yeux et dans nos vies. Populations courbรฉes sous la dictature des marchรฉs financiers ; chรดmage ravageur ; guerres tribales dรฉclenchรฉes avec cynisme pour prendre le contrรดle, par-delร les fantoches locaux, des richesses du sous-sol ; diktats รฉconomiques imposรฉs par les institutions internationales et qui, en rรฉduisant drastiquement les dรฉpenses publiques consacrรฉes ร la santรฉ, font chuter lโespรฉrance de vie ; innombrables migrants condamnรฉs ร lโexil pour รฉchapper ร une condition dรฉsespรฉrรฉeโฆ Et si chaque systรจme doit se juger au nombre de ses victimes innocentes, de quel poids pรจseront les 40 000 enfants qui, selon lโUnicef, meurent chaque jour de malnutrition dans le tiers-monde ?
Le malheur des hommes mรฉrite mieux quโun livre tapageur. Lโespรฉrance dโy remรฉdier exige davantage quโune opรฉration de propagande.

Still haven't seen this "news" anywhere except on random accounts with pseudonyms for names. My background, coupled with what we've seen the last few years, tells me this is fake news. There are a handful of Proud Boys suing the US government, but that's not Pelosi.
"Israel has agreed to the "necessary conditions" to finalise a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, US President Donald Trump has said.
Trump said that during the proposed ceasefire the US would "work with all parties to end the War".
"The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope... that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better โ IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE," Trump wrote."
Hamas shouldn't take the deal. Hamas shouldn't appear at the table. The proposal offered is fundamentally duplicitous, and predominantly a face saving exercise for Israel by making them appear magnanimous. Why now would Israel and the U.S. negotiate with terrorists? Why, after the total eradication of infrastructure, including schools, universities and health services would an offer be made? What is fundamentally going to change? Will Israel lift the blockade on building materials to allow the Palestinian people to rebuild the homes, towns, and cities? Of course not, and if they do, it will be U.S. companies providing building services and building the best beachfront property ever, the most beautiful beachfront property. Wasn't that the deal all along?
Trump threatens it will get worse. Commit your genocide for property, and let's see if you hang from a tree.

Non-surgical approaches to managing back pain have gained attention for their ability to address discomfort without invasive procedures. Among these, spinal decompression therapy stands out as a method that gently stretches the spine to alleviate pressure on nerves and discs. For individuals dealing with chronic back pain, exploring such therapies can open doors to improved mobility and quality of life. This article delves into how treatment for spinal decompression and related methods, like chiropractic care, offer practical paths to relief.
Spinal decompression therapy involves the use of specialized equipment, such as a traction table, to create space between spinal vertebrae. This process reduces pressure on compressed discs and nerves, which often cause pain and restricted movement. The therapy is non-invasive, making it an option for those hesitant about surgical interventions. For many, treatment for spinal decompression provides noticeable improvements in pain levels over a series of sessions.
The process begins with a consultation to assess whether the therapy suits the individualโs condition. Conditions like herniated discs or sciatica often respond well to this approach, as it promotes nutrient flow to the affected areas. Patients typically lie on a table while the device applies controlled traction, creating a gentle stretching effect. This can help retract bulging discs, reducing irritation on surrounding nerves.
Complementary therapies, such as sports massage Singapore, can enhance the effects of spinal decompression. By addressing muscle tension, sports massage supports the bodyโs recovery process, making it easier to maintain the benefits of spinal adjustments. This combination often appeals to those seeking a comprehensive approach to managing musculoskeletal discomfort.
Chiropractic treatment for back pain focuses on aligning the spine through manual adjustments and other techniques. These adjustments aim to restore proper function to the musculoskeletal system, reducing discomfort and improving mobility. For individuals with chronic pain, regular chiropractic sessions can become a cornerstone of their pain management strategy, offering a non-drug alternative.
Similarly, chiropractic treatment for neck pain targets tension and misalignment in the cervical spine. Poor posture, stress, or injuries can lead to neck stiffness, which chiropractors address through precise manipulations and exercises. In many cases, patients also benefit from sports massage Singapore, which helps release muscle tension and improve circulation in the neck and shoulder areas. These methods help restore range of motion and reduce discomfort, allowing individuals to perform daily tasks with less pain.
When considering chiropractic care, many inquire, โAre chiropractors doctors?โ Chiropractors hold a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, earned through extensive training in musculoskeletal health. While they differ from medical doctors, their expertise in spinal care makes them qualified to treat conditions like back and neck pain, often integrating therapies like spinal decompression for better outcomes.
The cost of chiropractic care is a practical concern for many seeking treatment. Chiropractor Singapore price varies depending on factors like clinic location, session frequency, and the practitionerโs experience. Many clinics offer package deals or payment plans, making it easier for patients to access care without straining their budgets.
Researching local options can help individuals find affordable chiropractic services. Some clinics combine chiropractic adjustments with therapies like sports massage to address both spinal and muscular issues. This integrated approach can maximize the value of each session, as it targets multiple aspects of pain and dysfunction.
For those managing multiple pain points, such as knee or tailbone discomfort, combining professional care with home strategies can be effective. For instance, tailbone pain exercises, like gentle stretches, can complement chiropractic sessions. Exploring these options allows individuals to create a balanced plan that fits their financial and health needs.
Knee pain is a common issue, particularly as people age, and many seek knee pain treatment at home to manage symptoms. Simple knee pain home remedies, such as applying ice or heat, can reduce inflammation and ease discomfort. Resting the knee and avoiding high-impact activities also support recovery, especially for mild cases.
Natural remedies for knee pain in old age, such as maintaining a healthy weight or using supplements like glucosamine, can support joint health over time. Low-impact exercises, like swimming or walking, help strengthen muscles around the knee without causing strain. These knee pain remedies are accessible and can be done consistently at home to improve joint function.
For those wondering about the best medicine for knee pain in old age, non-drug options are often recommended first. A knee pain home remedy, like elevating the leg or using a compression wrap, can provide relief without side effects. Consulting a healthcare professional ensures these home strategies align with any underlying conditions.
Beyond spinal and knee issues, some individuals experience tailbone discomfort, which can disrupt daily activities. Tailbone pain exercises, such as pelvic tilts or seated stretches, help relieve pressure on the coccyx and improve flexibility. These exercises are often recommended by chiropractors or physical therapists as part of a broader pain management plan.
Incorporating home remedies for knee pain into a routine can also support overall mobility. For example, gentle yoga or stretching can strengthen supporting muscles, reducing strain on joints. These knee pain remedies are practical for those who prefer managing symptoms at home while still benefiting from professional care when needed.
A holistic approach that combines professional treatments like chiropractic care or spinal decompression with home-based strategies offers a balanced path to pain relief. By addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term health, individuals can improve their quality of life and regain confidence in their daily activities.
Due to inadequate stretches or excessive overload, our deep muscles may at times become stiff and unable to function optimally. Such muscular strains may even cause severe pain, numbness, stiffness or reduced range of motion in joints.Singapore Pain Solutions

But what if you show up at the hotel at 9pm and the hotelier can ask a credit bureau how much you can afford to pay for the room? What if they can find out that you're in chemotherapy, so you don't have the stamina to shop around for a cheaper room? What if they can tell that you have a 5AM flight and need to get to bed right now? What if they charge you more because they can see that your kids are exhausted and cranky and the hotel infers that you'll pay more to get the kids tucked into bed? What if they charge you more because there's a wildfire and there are plenty of other people who want the room?

Another good article by @Farid:
"Framing the Glastonbury chant as incitement, while tolerating far more explicit hate speech by Israeli officials and citizens, exposes a double standard. Since at least 2021, during Jerusalem Day marches, crowds including government figures such as Itamar Ben Gvir have chanted โDeath to Arabs,โ a slogan accompanied by physical assaults on Palestinians. These expressions of ethnic hatred are largely normalized in Israeli public discourse.
In contrast, the Glastonbury chant targets a military institution, not an ethnic or religious group, and calls for its dismantlement due to its involvement in mass atrocities. To conflate this with incitement to violence is to misrepresent its content and intent while ignoring more overt and dangerous rhetoric tolerated elsewhere."

Sneed's Feed & Seed Formerly Chuck's is a joke from the The Simpsons The questionable validity of the punchline and confusing nature of the joke's structure has turned it into a tool for trolling and memes referencing the original quip, which uses the scene from the show as an exploitable in photoshops and other edits. After spreading to 4chan, "Sneedposting" became a widespread shitposting format to reference Sneed's Feed & Seed.

@Max_Imum Yeah I have a tendency to run myself ragged and take on more than is mine.
Iโm my own petty tyrant, bossing myself about and generally being kinda rough on myself.
I felt like it was killing me.
Then I did a bunch of blood tests and stuff through Function healthโฆ and it turns out it was.
Staring at the evidence of a thing that I was feeling has forced me to take a very similar perspective shift.
The trick is to find meaning outside of producing or earning.
If your value can be expressed in dollars you arenโt a whole person.
