Virgina Satir was born 97 years ago on the 26th of June, 1916.
She was a brilliant psychotherapist, whose pioneering work in helping families heal, earned her the title "Mother of Family Therapy".
She wasn't a great poet, but her poem "I am me" is at least a little bit Whitmanesque to me. The first lines are:
"My declaration of self-esteem
I am me In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it ......."
How like Whitman is her capacity for vision that transcends the limits of the individual: “The family is a microcosm. By knowing how to heal the family, I know how to heal the world.” ?
Satir fully understood the reality that modern societies do not make life easy for their parents: “So much is asked of parents, and so little is given ......... Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don’t realize what messages they are sending.”
Can western societies survive when westerners so openly trash the family foundations of our lives?

I may be wrong, but I have come to the conclusion that the democrats attacked the black families with the “Great Society” to destroy their families in order to gain more control over black society, and society in general.
Now they are going after white families joining with the LGBT factions, and especially the trans-cult to further the government’s power.
Sounds like the "Bad Guy Affirmation" from "Wreck-It Ralph" ...
You are correct- they even said so!
LBJ (when signing ‘the great society’ legislation: “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for 200 years.
Before that they voted Republican because Lincoln was a founding member of the GOP.
Me me me. Me? Me. And I.
It’s cultural marxism at its finest. You attack the interwoven social fabric and pull it into its constituent parts... Reducing the unit to “tribes” then you pit them against one another.
Gotta love the joys of marxism. Every new leader does the same thing, oppress the people and steal like a “sonovabitch” until another tribal leader steps up to the plate (trough). They go in skinny touting the merits of marxism and come out fatter than capitalist businessmen.
look at Xi, look at Putin and the Clinton dynasty: Obama and biden
I think we went to different schools together - 97 Years ago was 1926.
He didn’t even get the date of death right. She died on September 10th, 1988.
Sorry Ozguy never mentioned date of death. Apologies.
