Listening to the SilenceTeodoro, this is one of the wonderful advantages of theory. It permits you to distance yourself a little from the intensity of instrumental focus of daily interpersonal relations and to realize that there is a whole world out there as part of our structural context. We used to be able to ignore that because the global structural context didn't impinge on our agency too much. After September 11, that may never be true again.On Tuesday, October 30, 2001, Teodoro Avila wrote:
Subject: Re: The Healing Process
Dear Jeanne,On the last E-mail that I sent I described the way that I found myself to be negatively affected by the occurences of September the 11th. On this E-mail that I am referring to I mentioned how I was totally in shock when I realized that all of the mixed emotions that I was feeling were a result of the events that took place in New York and not a product of everyday life such as work, bills, family and so forth. What made this realization so interesting was the fact that I attributed what I was feeling to just about everything else going on in my daily life except the bombings in New York. To sum things up, I was not aware of how powerful an impact this attack could have on people at a psychological level.
