To appreciate Saskia the Unyielding I believe you have to have either gone through something traumatic in your lifetime (and I believe most of us have) or understand somewhere in your psyche what true compassion is (which usually comes from having gone through something traumatic. unfortunately). an example of dangerous compassion would be to, say, make a [deck] about the fragility of the human psyche, and make it so wrong, so brutal, so balletic that by the time you leave the [table] you not only don't want to hurt anything but you desperately want an answer and a solution to the violence and mental health issues that have spun out of control around us. This [deck] makes you hurt and only in pain do we ever want to change. It's all in the irony of trauma --- a fine line between the resentment of wanting to hurt society back for raping you of a decent life, for not protecting you, and accepting what feels like alien feelings with softening to those others who seem freakish in our era of judgement, and digital damnation. Like kids in Middle School: man, they can just be mean. For no reason. And, sometimes, those awful little clicky kids an evil and someone that rages much later, when everyone pretends we are all back to normal, when we all thought it had just manned up and gone away. We have a habit of hating and ostracizing and dividing and sweeping our problems under the rug. Saskia the Unyielding, is simply lifting the rug and looking underneath it. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's there.
