How Some Modern Languages Support Narcissism

I love you, je t’aime, te a garan…

Some modern languages betray your best intentions When you put yourself expressing your love for someone.

Imagine those minority languages in a modern nation When grandparents cannot communicate to their grandchildren Because they don’t understand each other’s language. When parents with the new language cannot express their emotions.

When you feel humiliated when your identity is hurt and your expression Killed like your ancestors, your community, your country in a global shame. Then you have a high rate of suicides, violence, alcoholism and mental illness.

Jean Carfantan is the founder of the Queen’s Children about the Sacred Feminine.
