Gaslight

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Você já passou por situações de abusos como: ” Você é louca!” Ou ouviu expressões do tipo: ” você está exagerando, você é dramática demais!” Coisas que em outro momento fizeram você se perguntar se estava agindo corretamente? Saiba que essa prática, é muito comum em relacionamentos abusivos. Sim, o gaslight ou ” distorcer” no português, é uma espécie de violência psicológica bastante comum em relacionamentos doentios, onde o manipulador tenta fazer com que a vítima questione a própria sanidade mental.

O gaslight ou gaslighting é uma forma sutil de abuso que faz com a mulher pareça a louca da história. O gaslighting é um termo que surgiu a partir do filme americano Gaslight, de 1944. No filme o abusador emocional fazia com a vítima duvidasse da própria realidade, ou seja, ela criava provocações para a vítima duvidar da sanidade mental e pensar que estava” imaginando coisas”. Frases como ”…

A vida fermenta

Vivaldi translation: Life ferments
Life fermentes, intrigues the eyes and denounces its causes. Anyway, life only makes sense, as it is observed about its own reality, because otherwise, it loses its sense of itself.

Marii Freire Pereira. Life ferments

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A vida fermenta, intriga aos olhos e denúncia às suas causas. De qualquer forma, a vida só faz sentido, a medida que observada sobre a sua própria realidade, pois do contrário, ela perde o sentido de si mesma.

COP-26: Les droits fonciers autochtones doivent être respectés maintenant afin d’aider à atténuer le changement climatique ! 

Barbara Crane Navarro

Txai Suruí

«Les peuples autochtones sont en première ligne de l’urgence climatique et nous devons être au centre des décisions qui se prennent ici. Nous avons des idées pour reporter la fin du monde. »

  • Txai Suruí, activiste indigène brésilien de 24 ans

Txai Suruí a ajouté que les calendriers annoncés à la table de négociation de la COP-26 par les responsables gouvernementaux pour réduire les émissions de carbone et diminuer l’utilisation des combustibles fossiles étaient totalement inadéquats.

«Nous allons freiner les émissions de promesses mensongères et irresponsables, nous allons mettre fin à la pollution des promesses creuses et nous allons nous battre pour un avenir et un présent vivables.

Ce n’est pas en 2030 ou 2050», a-t-elle souligné, «C’est maintenant. »

La forêt amazonienne est la plus grande forêt tropicale de la Terre et est essentielle à la régulation du climat du globe.

Toldot, and Who Gets What

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

     This week’s Torah portion is Parashat Toldot.  It means, literally, generations, but is really all about Jacob, later known as Israel, and Esav.   This week’s parashah tells the famous story of the “sale” of the birthright for a bowl of lentils, and the later confirmation of that outcome, by  guile.  

   What never seems to be questioned in this parashah is the idea of a birthright, and hierarchy, in the first place.  Why must one be over the other?  How can such rigid hierarchy allow each of us to live up to our full human potential, when it enforces such limitations, rather than cooperation?  Those same limitations also place Jacob in danger, even while not yet considered a full adult.  

   What would you do, and how would you solve this thorny problem of protecting all children, not to mention vulnerable adults, Thoughtful Readers?

Tempo

Vivaldi translation: Time
“Life is what happens between your first act of inspiring, and a finished gesture, which is your last breath”, as our dear Mário Sergio Cortella said: “Life is what happens between the first time you open your mouth, and the last time you close it.” In that time, there is time to do a lot.

Between the first time your lung fills with air and the last moment you stop taking that air inside you, life happens. Now, in it we live beautiful experiences, I would say that many woven with joy, peace, compassion, lightness in the soul, pleasure, and most importantly perhaps, that I would not be able to describe very well here, which is the end, that is, death. I think the end, it comes down to the act of this thing of putting out the sum of accumulated experiences. You know? “Turn life inside out. Sometimes, when looking at the insignificances that are placed in front of what is important, it is that one stops and analyzes the real meaning of what life is. Now, consider the following position: how many times do you walk through the door of your house and do not know if you will come back alive? You don’t know, for example, if it was the last time you looked at the people you loved inside her.

Today, with the death of singer Marília Mendonça, a beautiful girl, with an odd voice, brought this thing of questioning life, some values, the weight of an unknown person that nobody knows the real meaning of death. Today, I’m fine, tomorrow “I leave without knowing that time has gone by …” whether I lived long enough or not, “time is up”. We take a deep breath, without imagining the next minute, only analyzing how to describe the loss and the feeling of helplessness that it leaves us.

There is so much urgency to live, to fight for the close dream, for what can be imagined in the hours that follow our blink of an eye. You understand how life fades? As all of our plans end between one sleep and another? Some you wake up and go to do them, or you don’t have time … because you don’t do business with your hands.

Time is unfaithful to us! Strong competitor, born cheater of small perks.

“(…) an instant, and life becomes colored fragments, which joining the darkness of what we do not know … makes what we call life shine in the human imagination.

”Breathe, inspire … breathe! Inhale again, swallow life, whileanto there is life ”… because time does not wait.

“Vida é aquilo que acontece entre o seu primeiro ato de inspirar, e gesto findo, que é o seu último suspiro”, como disse o nosso querido Mário Sergio Cortella: ” A vida é o que acontece entre a primeira vez que você abre a boca, e a última vez que a fecha”. Nesse intervalo de tempo, há tempo de fazer muita coisa.

Entre a primeira vez que o seu pulmão se enche de ar e o último momento que você deixa de levar esse ar para dentro de si, a vida acontece. Ora, nela vivemos experiências belíssimas , diria que muitas tecidas de alegria, paz, compaixão, leveza na alma, prazer, e o mais importante talvez, que eu não saberia descrever muito bem aqui, que é o fim, ou seja, a morte. Acho que o fim, resume-se no ato dessa coisa de você colocar pra fora a somatório de experiências…
