"We Make Violence Enjoyable In Our Culture."

"By 4:30 Today, You Will Never Hear Another Insult." Returning To A Great Teacher, Who Said Our Very Language Cuts Us Off From Life, And Offered A Solution

Nov 6
 

My friend Anna Powell sent me this video clip 10 years ago, and promised me I would love it.

I did indeed love it.

Many of you will know it, and many of you, maybe not.

Our habitual language, which Rosenberg called "jackal" is wounded, accusatory, obsessed with being right, and deaf to the needs of others. The redemptive language is called "giraffe," and it never gets insulted.

Imagine that.

Rosenberg rejected compliments/rewards as well as accusations/punishments:

"Same game."

I like the word "Rabbi," which just means teacher.

Marshall Rosenberg, Jewish, grew up in a working class family, and suffers abuse as a child. That started him on his crusade against violence, and he found his answers, in every day human language.

(His grandmother taught worker's children to dance.)

If you have not yet discovered, or listened to, this 3 hour seminar, rich with revelation and laughter, you are in for something.

Rest in peace Marshall Rosenberg.
