Beyond the Book: Trading Activism for Isolation to Save My Own Life

Molecules of Emotion featimage

In addition to inflicting emotional, mental, and intellectual pain and suffering, traumatic experiences change and transform you, whether you want it or not. Consequently, you live and view life in ways that you didn't in the past and in ways others around you don't. Initially, you may not even be aware of it. Coming to terms with and reconciling this change takes deliberate steps and actions.

I made it through a period of years of emotional and intellectual turmoil following a traumatic experience because I recognized and understood a lot of it, and, more crucially, I knew the steps to take.

I share the details in this blog post with the hope that it might help someone else.

From Trauma to Growth: Why Nepali Culture MUST Prioritize the Emotional Lives of Children

i used to be an extremist featimage

Traditional Nepalis' belief that children should be spoken to, not listened to, is highly detrimental. It has promoted a culture--at home, school, and in society--that fails to cater to the emotional needs of children, raising emotionally stunted and immature adults, especially the males who, more likely than not, use verbal, emotional and physical violence to communicate.

Solution is to respect children, abandon, our punitive culture, impart critical thinking skills among others.

New Nepal: Break the Chain, Make Education Everything

brief history of Nepal featimage

Excluding the brief direct rule by former King Gyanendra following a 2005 coup, in its 250+-year history, Nepal has had four regimes, all led by the Khas-aryas, the Tagadhaaris (the Hill so-called high caste Hindus). The result: the country remains one of the poorest in the world.

One of the main reasons for this poverty is the deliberately suppressed and low level of education among the population.

The New Nepal must have a representative government and prioritize education above all else if it hopes to make progress.
