Non-poisonous Gifts

Since this exchange started, I have increasingly felt put in a place of debt towards you, due to the amount of thoughtful, brilliant, joyful thinking each and everyone of you provided with care. Those are true, non poisonous gifts, given out of engagement and desire for justice as the kind of truth we strive for and around which we all unite, us, refusers. Never in my intellectual life have I encountered such generosity without any expectations of return on investment. It started within my group “Nothing Happening Here”. This generosity inscribes in our relationship an obligation to each other that cannot be neutralized, unlike in psychoanalysis, where the monthly, weekly, daily cash payment of what we owe to the therapist creates a moment of great alleviation: symbolic debts can be paid.
