Food for thought- https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16RbuN5FHk/
This is an image of the the root of war.
You want to know where war begins?
It’s not on the battlefield.
It starts here -
In the birth room.
In what we allow to happen to babies.
In what we call “care.”
How f'ing dare he do this to newborn babies, right in front of their mother and father, and monetize it. How dare the world not see the violence, the war making.
When a baby is pulled from the womb,
handled like a prop or a prize,
separated from their mother,
paraded down the hall with a clamp still on their cord -
and call it medicine.
Call it normal.
Film it and smile.
I’m telling you the truth: it is violence.
LOOK at the BABY!! Look at the doctor's GLEE. This is sick. It is evil. The incongruence is shocking. But not as shocking as how acceptable it is.
That baby doesn’t feel awe.
They feel disorientation.
They feel betrayal.
This baby will NEED to dissociate to get through this. THAT will become a primary imprint.
We babies learn - before we even have words -
that our body is not our own,
our mother is not present,
our father is not capable.
That human connection is conditional,
that survival means compliance.
And that imprint becomes the consciousness of the culture.
It is the baseline.
That baby becomes a boy who learns not to cry.
A girl who learns to disappear.
Because we are still gendered.
A man who tightens his jaw and signs deployment papers.
A woman who can’t say no when her body says no.
You want to know why the world is the way it is?
Why people follow tyrants?
Why they watch birth videos like the one this came from, and feel nothing? DO NOTHING.
Because their awe was stolen from them at the beginning.
Because nobody protected their first breath.
Because nobody protected the sacred.
So yes, I’m angry. SO Angry.
Yes, I am undone by this.
While psychopaths and serial killers freely run the countries that run the world, yeah, the US, who somehow after generations still think killing other humans, even children, is the answer ....
And no, I will not stay silent while we pretend this is okay.
This is not birth.
This is not care.
This is the root of war.
And I am here to stop it as long as I am breathing.
To name it.
To make room for grief.
And to help us all remember what it’s supposed to feel like
when a baby is received with reverence.
Even if no one is listening or cares or stops what they do to the humans coming in.
Because if we can reclaim that -
we just might remember how to make peace.
