Add the violence pervasive on television, in video games, and in the movies, and we have a lethal mixture. We are alone, striving to meet the fictitious images of what we should look like and own for a fulfilled life.
We do not experience the relationships we are embedded in, or the multiple dynamics that make our problems or can be employed to solve them. When we blame others for our problems, we relegate ourselves into a powerless victim position or we blame ourselves and feel inadequate to make change. Whether we blame ourselves or others, we have objectified and separated everything, thwarting our ability to see the full picture.
When we have problems we take the dualistic point of view and affix blame.
Many of us do not experience ourselves embedded in a larger community - instead, we feel we have to fend for ourselves. In the U.S., we are conditioned to believe we are separate and fully independent from one another.
