It would be easy to reduce these tears to simple expressions of either happiness or sadness. But if we recognize the deeper well they are drawn from, the implications for what happens next are much more troubling. You can't just wipe away that feeling of rupture, or the decades of fear that preceded it. People become comfortable with the reality they know; they will mourn even an abusive father, and might require a lifetime to overcome the abuse. Even those who unreservedly despised him, but had no other leader, might not know what to look for in an alternative, or whether to trust a good steward if one comes along.
Why people shed tears for tyrants: Both loyalists and dissidents cried over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. This common reaction to a dictator’s demise is a symptom of the damage they do. archive.ph/VWZ7M By

#Powerlessness is universal principle in manifested realm. It's called divided consciousness. The #Divine #miraculously scatters Itself within Itself and takes on innumerable falsely identified minds. It is a #Wonder. When you #believe #movie, it hurts more. #Guruji still feels pain. Doesn't bother.
You can't stay alive as long as you want #Musk. #Powerlessness exists for humans. Not just drug addicts. Drug addicts that have been in #recovery for a few decades #know way more than most humans. Why? Because they've been living by #principles to save their life. They were forced. I was. It worked.

I know me. I got that don't give a fuck. What is body but toilet paper in the wind? I lose it sometime. That is #powerlessness. Once upon a time I never wanted to #die. I don't want to die, I just want to #experience the #truth. Don't want it to be so damn uncomfortable while I sort it. That part.
Half the country is destroying America.
The other half is watching them do it.

The stories of ICE's kidnappings in Downey are horrific: people simply disappear.
3/10 Despite thousands using their voices—writing politicians, donating to charities, taking to streets—there's an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. This week brought news that 14,000 babies suffer from severe acute malnutrition due to deliberate starvation.

You’ve been told to admit you’re powerless. I’m telling you to admit the truth: you’re undisciplined, not helpless. There’s a difference—and it matters. You can take your life back. Start by reading this. The lie ends where ownership begins.

" #Cuteness is a way of aestheticizing #powerlessness."
–– Sianne Ngai
In *Our #Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting* (2012), Sianne Ngai boldly treats three everyday categories as serious subjects of #philosophy.
It’s sad to watch someone suffer, know how to help, and them just be completely unwilling to do the obvious things needed to move past suffering. #thoughtsFromAClinician #powerlessness
Read my latest piece, “Impermanence, Uncertainty, Powerlessness,” in the latest issue of The Wayfarer Magazine.

“These three things— #uncertainty, #impermanence, and #powerlessness— lie at the heart of this collective, global teachable moment.”
