Dear Prof. Lindner,
Thank you so much for your insightful article, “Mature Differentiation as Response to Terrorism and Humiliation.” Through my own work I have born witness to the incapacitating effects of externally and self-perceived humiliation. I work for a small non-profit org. servicing the Latino immigrant community, Asociacion Tepeyac de New York. From the human rights department, I coordinate our Education Rights Program and also assist with our Labor Rights Program.
With the case of rights education and promotion among the undocumented immigrant community we see humiliation at work on many overlapping levels. The (at times subconscious) humiliation and subsequent fear surrounding ones legal status, the humiliation of existing as a non-citizen and therefore invisible contributor to the local and national economy/society and culture and the humiliation, anger and sense of incompetence that comes when the available recourses from where to appeal the denial of your rights are themselves ineffectual.
It is a long and arduous struggle and I often feel incapable of affecting any macro-changes. I seek refuge in the small victories and the hope of the vibrant community I work with. They remind me of the importance of humility. The humiliation, and the need to confront its harmful manifestations, that you describe so concisely, is truly at the root of this and any struggle for lasting social and human justice. May we all learn to treat one another with the decency we need and deserve.
Thanks again for all your important contributions.
Sincerely,
Sarah Proescher

I liked it very much. I started seeing resentment as the source of many human conflicts 60 years ago when I discovered Nietzsche (whom Freud called the greatest of all psychologists! - I agree with him).

Hi Jan
Many thanks for this - latest in some really top stuff you've been putting out lately. We're working on a TV proposal at the moment, for which Evelin and her work would be very useful, if, as we hope, it gets off the ground.
