I can’t help thinking the same is true for a society, not just an individual. How can our society move toward a more humane, socially just, creative, and productive future without confronting our collective historical trauma? Both trauma experienced and trauma inflicted. If we truly want to understand ourselves, we need to understand our history—our true history. Because the emotional residue of our past follows us.
I agree, but we are so from this right now that it won’t happen anytime soon.
