Masquerade: Life is a zero sum game
Manage episode 352163690 series 3435725
Today’s topic is change. This past week the group moderator spoke about us taking all the negative in our lives and converting it into positive.

Life is about relationships with ourselves and the outside world. But the relationship with ourself is the most crucial to our quality of life.
To cope with rape and abuse I used drugs and lived a reckless lifestyle, but perhaps I would’ve done these things even with no causation (the teacher). Maybe I would’ve been impulsive and caused damage anyway.
To be a victim or a survivor.
To be a phony or substitute self may be the only way to survive the rape and abuse I suffered as a child.
