  The Women's March on Versailles...

  In the years leading up to the French Revolution, tensions across France were steadily rising. The burdens of the common people, particularly those of the Third Estate, had reached unbearable levels. While the nobility and clergy enjoyed privileges and wealth, the vast majority of the population struggled under the weight of excessive taxation and economic instability. The inequalities in French society were stark, fueling resentment that would ultimately ignite revolutionary fervor. 
  One of the most pressing concerns for the people of France was the relentless increase in bread prices. As the primary staple of the French diet, bread was essential for survival, yet by 1789, its cost had soared beyond what many could afford. A series of poor harvests, combined with inflation and a flawed taxation system, meant that working-class families were spending nearly all their income just to feed themselves. Women, who were responsible for feeding their households, were particularly affected. Their desperation grew as they saw their children go hungry, pushing them toward direct action against those they held responsible for their suffering. 
  At the same time, the ideas of the Enlightenment had begun to take hold among the people. Thinkers like Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu had challenged the foundations of monarchy, divine rule, and social inequality. The belief that sovereignty should rest with the people rather than the king inspired many to question the legitimacy of their rulers. These ideas were not confined to intellectual circles; they spread through pamphlets, newspapers, and public gatherings, reaching even the market women and working-class citizens of Paris. For many, the Enlightenment provided not just a critique of the monarchy, but a vision for a new society built on justice and equality.

  Healing Childhood trauma 2-1...

  If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
  You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
  Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
  Common behaviors among victims include: 
  Trust issues 
  Taking care of others at their own expense 
  Persistent anger or panic 
  Overreacting to remarks 
  Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
  Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
  Difficulty identifying priorities 
  Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
  Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
  If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.

  ATOMIC HABITS 10-Minute Summary...

  This book by James Clear offers an approach rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and sociology to help people build positive habits and eliminate negative ones. Its core premise is that habits are the foundation of success, and that small, incremental changes can lead to significant improvements in one’s life. 
  Beyond their personal impact on identity and success, Atomic Habits also raises broader questions about the role habits play in shaping societies and cultures. While Clear focuses on individual development, his principles can be applied collectively. For example, what would happen if governments, businesses, or communities intentionally designed environments that encourage good habits at scale? Behavioral architecture is already in use in some areas—like walkable city design or waste reduction through nudging strategies—but its full potential remains largely untapped. 
  Another underexplored aspect is how digital technology affects habit formation. In a world where algorithms influence what we see, read, and buy, our habits are no longer purely personal choices—they’re shaped by systems designed to maximize our engagement. This raises a critical question: how can we regain control over our behavior in such a hyperconnected environment? 
  Habits are valuable when they fit the context, but what happens when that context changes? A habit that’s beneficial today might become irrelevant—or even harmful—tomorrow. Real mastery isn’t just about building habits; it’s also about knowing when to adapt or let them go. 
  Ultimately, the book reminds us that the power to change lies in our hands—not in sweeping decisions, but in the small, consistent actions we take each day. Over time, those actions shape who we become and what we achieve.
