Public sphere
Constrained
By its collective fear
How many times do we let this happen to ourselves during the day? I'm guilty of this every time a supervisor "walks by." I could be doing the most amazing things in that moment and as soon as s/he "walks by", I feel that I need to "perform"...provide a narrative of what is happening in that moment and why. What makes me slide into this performance? Fear! Fear of what though? These are questions that won't be answered tonight however...I feel that it's important to throw them out there.
How do we break this collective fear? One word...Solidarity...sticking together...supporting each other. It's something the people I work with are very good at...yet the fear still constrains...why?
