how to be human in all these crises? This time we came together from Kenya, Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Thailand, Switzerland, Finland, Russia, the Netherlands, Australia and the UK. As usual, the co-creative process started with an online Worldwork session (facilitated dialogue) for 30-40 minutes, before everybody captured their own experience in words, and deepened personal high- or downlights by writing and sharing some of the personal story it evoked. Here are the shared reflections of the ‘world work journalists’ after the facilitated dialogue on ‘Genozide-and the difficulty to name it’.
thank you for getting together and sharing so deeply between you and with us all reading you... it's really touching... something about the slow rhythm... the slowing down it takes to read slows you and opens you up... many of the things you've shared resonated. thank you
dear Lily, wow, this is so great to get to know more about your reading experience. I think that is part of the dreaming behind this initiative, to find a way to (co-) creatively express what was happening in our session, as normal linear descriptions are never picturing it. Thank you so much for your feedback!
Interesting format to bring the quotes out for the sub point-topics and describing as the editor's Eldership view. Indeed need time to let it sink in and emerge the topics. Deep complexity and intense.
(One) more things come's up is in Thai Language.. There is no word for 'Genocide' (only war or translated from English post wwII)...hmm or is there? what is species or how to distinct 'Tribes'? Does in Southeast Asia culture doesn't allow to have genocide? Killing (too many) human is forbidden due to Buddhist beliefs?. just wondering thoughts-questions...
Or South-east Asia has too many tribes/subgroups not enough to use the term Genocide?
How about China's situation?
High Cultural Rank patronising?
Will there ever be a world with equal rights or it's just a fantasy we cope for the overpowering dominant spiritual-less convergent-knowledge culture?
Hi dear Perry, thank you for bringing your reflection about the term and its translation. It made me look after its origin, Greek/Latin (genos and caedere) combination and yes, there is a German translation for it (Völkermord). I wonder how this is coping with Christianity's belief of charity? or maybe how to deal more generally with inhumanity from a spiritual point of you? and maybe this is somehow joining you in your last question?
