These
words by Alice Miller go right to the heart! Yes, the amnesia of politicians or leaders of sects does afflict countless people. As we are witnessing how #DonaldTrump's amnesia of his childhood repression is hurting many! "Kafka was hardly aware of
the fact that the main sources of his imagination were deeply hidden in his
early childhood. Most writers aren't. But the amnesia of an artist or writer,
though sometimes a burden for their body, doesn't have any negative
consequences for society. The readers simply admire the work and are rarely
interested in the writers' infancy. However, the amnesia of politicians or
leaders of sects does afflict countless people, and will continue to do so, as
long as society remains blind to the important connections between the denial
of traumatic experiences in early childhood and the destructive, criminal
actions of individuals.”
