This is a powerful lesson…

A high school class is learning about the Salem Witch Trials. Their teacher told them they were going to play a game.

"I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."

The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought gave off even a hint of guilt.

"Okay," the teacher said. "You've got your groups. Time to find out which ones fail. All witches, please raise your hands."

No one raised a hand.

The kids were confused and told the teacher he'd messed up the game. "Did I?” He asked.

“Was anyone in Salem an actual witch? Or did everyone just believe what they'd been told?"

And that is how you show kids how easy it is to divide a Community.

Shunning, scapegoating, placing blame and dividing will each destroy far more than they will protect.

Don’t allow fear to cloud your decisions. Use your own discernment. Trust your heart…and your gut.

The best teachers will show you where to look, but they won’t tell you what to see.

Today marks exactly 1 year since I started this Instagram journey. I’ve spent the last week sharing the videos that were most impactful for me and the growth I’ve had through this platform. This video was the first of my video that made me believe I could do this long term. You may have seen this or heard this audio before. If I were to film it again, there are definitely some corrections to make regarding dopamine (dopamine, although pleasurable is largely related to MOVEMENT and MOTIVATION, not strictly pleasure as said in this video). Despite that, the original intention and message behind this video remains the same. I hope you enjoy the original!

Give,
but don't allow yourself to be used.

Love,
but don't allow your heart to be abused.

Trust,
but don't be naive.

Listen,
but don't lose your own voice.

Although many fantastic parents and beautiful stories about families exist, not every child has the ideal upbringing.
Parents who gaslight past abuse are destructive toward adult children's well-being.
