Feb. 10, 2010 The most powerful action we alcoholics have devised to show disapproval without so much as uttering a word is silent scorn. It starts with the look, our countenance that exudes our disdain. The energy our body reads from the muscles in our face clouds our thoughts so our mental sky is fully occluded. We don’t utter a word in silent scorn it carries with it a language all its own that those around us hear loud and clear as if we were using a sword to slice them to ribbons. Powerful it is this silent scorn and the spoken variety is but a butter knife in comparison. How do we escape its demonic control over us? It is not easy because this habit we have integrated into our psyche and only conscious awareness can deflect its power. We think we have a sense of entitlement to silent scorn because don’t they know who we are? It flies with the bird of intolerance that we so neatly pack each day in our holster ready to fire. So too does silent scorn bedevil us each time something is not done they way we would have others do it because we have given them secret instructions they should know by telepathy.
We are cowardly when we play silent scorn’s game because we are afraid to face our own virulent brand of self-loathing. We can get help simply by telling those that love us to please warn us when that look seems to be creasing our face.
I seem to see life through the lens of metaphors that show up whenever I am moved or connected with the deeper meaning of life in front of me. My style humorous in one layer can move you to tears or have you nodding "yes" as you sidle up to the emotions in you. My explorations delve into the human condition as it relates to fragmented relationships, blended family challenges and any form of the addictions that plague us. I won't try to tell you what to do or give you 10 easy steps or even point you in the direction I think you should be headed. Rather it is my wish that you take longer looks at the areas of your life you only gave fleeting glances to.
