But when will they also teach us about the ways we are conditioned to gratefully accept crumbs from governments, institutions, employers? [1]

What good is knowing that I am worthy of boundaries and safety in my relationships with other people if I believe myself to be unworthy of those same boundaries in the face of my government, my workplace, my community? [2]
If we’re taught to believe that the limit to our boundaries is institutional power - we won’t fight injustices that put us outside our comfort zone. [3]
We won’t learn how to strategically question and challenge governance designed to prioritize our profitability over our humanity and the precious nature of our human life. [4]
Boundary Work is not just individual. It’s not just interpersonal. It’s institutional too. It’s structural.
We can’t do the deep work around boundaries without understanding our relationship to power - without questioning our relationship to the institution.
