Resistance …

Remember, the part of us that we imagine needs healing 
is not the part we create from; that part is far deeper and 
stronger. The part we create from can't be touched by 
anything our parents did, or society did. That part is 
unsullied, uncorrupted; soundproof, waterproof, and 
bulletproof. In fact, the more troubles we've got, the 
better and richer that part becomes....

Resistance knows that the more psychic 
energy we expend dredging and re-dredging the tired, 
boring injustices of our personal lives, the less juice 
we have to do our work.
