Shameless Thoughts Based on Bias Thinking: Response to Riek Machar Letter to the UN
7 min readSHAMELESS THOUGHTS – BASED ON BIAS THINKINGS: “PROPHET OF DOOM (RIEK MACHAR) WRITES LETTER TO UN SECRETARY GENERAL BAN KI MOON”
BY MAJOOK DENG, AWEIL, SOUTH SUDAN
Overpowering negative emotions can derail efforts of achieving position of the blood of people and again seeking for compensations. Oh, my God! A few therapy-informed techniques of solution can help political settlement in south Sudan. Riek’s writes letter for compensations to UN secretary general Ban Ki-Moon; compensations for what?
June 20, 2015 (SSB) — Many of our feelings are simple reactions to specific events that we perceive as pleasant or unpleasant when we heard the compensations. I shocked when I hear the compensations written by him (Riek). After the event of massacres and genocide is over in Bor 1991-2002, the related feeling usually fades away with Mr. Doomsday. We can easily see that our emotions are fleeting and impermanent.
Shameless does not work this way. Weakness and defeat can make a crime committed by rebel sides of Machar with hopelessness propaganda. Without realizing it, we become continual victims of shame-based thinking of Riek Machar’s ambitious power and greed of the partiality, misleading the entries communities of Nuerism for his own position. Every single minute, he focuses on the destroying the nation of south Sudan and mess killings. Every day, we re-convince ourselves that we are victimizations of Riek’s failed coup attempted. Our thoughts become riddled with no judgment, regret, and images of impending failure. When we consciously articulate these shame-based thoughts on this man, we always shocked of his severity. In Letting Go of Shame, Riek Machar is practicality of the coup to this nation of south Sudan. The lists of the shameless thoughts are as following:
- Does he defective (damaged, broken, a mistake, flawed).
- Does him analysis his dirty thoughts before (soiled, ugly, unclean, impure, filthy, and disgusting).
- Who tell him that, he is incompetent leader amongst south Sudanese (not good enough, inept, ineffectual, and useless)?
- He is unwanted leader (unloved, unappreciated, and uncherished).
- He a weak, selfish leader (small, impotent, puny, feeble).
- He is a bad leader (awful, dreadful, evil, and despicable).
- He is a pitiful (contemptible, miserable, insignificant).
- He is nothing to anyone in this country (worthless, invisible, unnoticed, and empty).
Dr. Doomsday showed us his true color of darkness stomach and shameless develops as the slow, relentless, unwanted accumulation of such thoughts–one self-insult at a time, delivered to ourselves over weeks, months, and years. Notice that each of his previous statements of some years back starts with the bad words the transform of the SPLM leadership. This reinforces our definition of shame of Riek as self-claim being head of state by force would never work that goes far beyond anything we do or fail to do.
If we look closely, we can see that those shame-based thoughts exist on more than one level. The first level is an exhaustive list of his faults. The second level is an added message that those faults are permanent. In short, the first level is “not good at all.” The second level is “he will never be good enough leader.”
In addition, it doesn’t matter how well he was perform in school, that he have had being self-claim of PhD holder I doubting about it (fake PhD) on the job, or at home PhD holder should have shame for wrong doing; Shame-based thinking lingers. Even if he receives recognition or praise, shame-based thinking forces us to explain it away: he doesn’t deserve appreciation. If only he knew the wrong things. He doesn’t really mean what he was written in the letter to UN secretary General Bi-Koon. And also Ban-Ki Moon is controversial person, the guys we will never trust as south Sudanese as a whole. He is a man of commercial sitting leader.
I agree that shame-based thoughts tend to be permanent and pervasive by Machar. These thoughts go on to identify additional features or characteristics of shame-based thinking of Machar:-
- Negative explanations to the people of his behavior
- Idols predictions
- Selective focus on matter killings of events
- He never doubt of the killings
- Rigid rules about how to kills people
Thinking that’s marked by these characteristics leader like Riek to several paradoxical results and harmfully to the nation as we’re now. One is that we often believe we’re being responsible when the truth is that we’re just being controlling by devil Mr. Riek. These results from our rigid rules for how south Sudan wills survivors with of its people from Machar’s hands, he behave like evils and for how events should unfold to people of south Sudan to arrange and kills them. Trying to enforce those rules leads us to monitor other people’s behavior and criticize him whenever they violate one of our many expectations leaders.
Second, we become prey for perfectionism by Riek’s hands. Only an error-free performance political can ever satisfy the demands imposed by devil shame-based thinking. He is disasters of south Sudan with its people and cannot be openly admitted by this guy. The paradox is that we cling to perfection while remaining people constantly aware of his imperfections by dirty politics of him (Riek).
A third paradox is that being highly critical of selfishness will makes destruction for the highly critical of south Sudan of its people.
A final paradox for Riek is that we see our self-defeating thoughts as a form of self-protection and a way to escape from shame of a man we hatred most. In reality, however, we find ourselves in middle of idols even though we’re more victimizing by his shame. Government continually focuses on the worst that could possibly happen when Riek Machar comes back to Juba, South Sudan; again he will cause more disaster before. In our mind, we relive of victimizations over and over again on Riek Machar’s perceptions and his superiority in his community, while the mighty Nuerism are dying on streets because of one man, trying to explain and understand him is disease so called Ebola, hoping to prevent me from thinking about happening to us in 1991-2013. In the end, we just feel more sad and fearful; of his shameless is reinforced.
Challenge Shame-Based Thoughts
There’s a saying: “Don’t believe everything you think.” This is a core principle of Machar to cognitive-behavioral therapy. Instead of viewing his thoughts as absolute truths, never see him as a mental events to observe and evaluate and calculating the advantages and disadvantages of it. Be willing to challenge shame-based thoughts and replace them with more accurate thoughts is betterment in politics. As explained earlier, shame-based thinking has several characteristics. It is often based on dire predictions, doubt in your coping skills, selective focus on negative aspects of events, negative explanations of others’ behavior, and rigid rules about how people should behave.
Choose a specific thought that you’d like to work with, such leaders will never helping in the community and find a job or if this senseless war ends, he will never get over it. Then challenge this thought by asking anyone of the following questions:
- Is it his thought really true, to kills people all over the years?
- How do we know his true color?
- What is the evidence for his thought of politics?
- What is the evidence against this thought in him?
- Can we think of any times when his thought has not been true?
- Is it this thought of him helping south Sudan or hurting?
- Who would we be if we let him go of this thought?
- What could we do if we let him go of this thought?
- Is it good willing to release his thought positively?
