Weaponizing Gratitude and Positivity
Anyone can be triggered by anything.
When one is experiencing multiple grief and has epigenetic trauma, they become an open wound where the slightest gust of air is excruciating.
Yet this is not talked about, not put into policies and reinforced, not culturally relevant.
It's exhausting.
Most of the people doing this are men.
They're running around, trying to start fights and wars, not giving a tiny fart in the wind about how this might be affecting others.
And the weaponization of positivity and gratitude happens when people being harmed by this behaviour are forced to be positive or grateful for it.
If this is impacted by a cultural climate that denies individuality and self and men and women and people are letting others get away with this behaviour then that is not good, and this is very prevalent.
True gratitude and positivity don't happen when it's forced. It pops up naturally like a mushroom when the conditions are right.
Forcing people to adapt over and over and over again because of bad policy, inept leadership and general mismanagement is NOT a criminal act.
Imagine if it was.
Ideally it would create a bone structure that allowed a greater society to form. One that doesn't practice what it preaches but has evolved beyond practicing to mastery.
One could argue this has already happened, but I wonder what the people living on the streets think about that.

It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by the lack of acknowledgment and support for those who are dealing with grief and trauma, and the added pressure to stay positive and grateful despite the pain. It's understandable to feel exhausted and drained by this constant struggle, and it's important to acknowledge that your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard.
It's concerning that this behaviour is predominantly coming from men, and that there may be cultural factors contributing to it. It's important to address these issues and create a more supportive and understanding environment for those who are struggling with grief and trauma.
Forcing positivity and gratitude is not a solution, and can actually do more harm than good. It's important to allow people to express their emotions and experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. There should be more emphasis on creating a safe and supportive space for people to heal and grow, rather than trying to force them to "get over it" or "be positive."
I'm sorry that you're going through this and hope that you can find the support and understanding that you need ❤️
