Tunnel of Oppression - ERC Week 11

The Tunnel of Oppression was a great activity to do as a group. At the time I didn't feel very impacted by the tunnel, but I have been fortunate enough to have a broad perspective on life, and the people co-inhabiting the earth. I wish that the tunnel had more people go to it, because I believe that it really does teach a great message, but to the people who mostly need it the least.
Nevertheless, one scene in particular that I had not previously thought of was the elevator scene. After we got off and saw the peoples various reasons I was really struck by a few of them. Namely the fibromyalgia sign. Its something I had never thought of, being a disease that includes crippling pain, yet shows no physical signs.
It was really great after the tunnel/therapy was over when we spoke to each other about it. The thought process of each person in the group is so unique, and its just a terrific discussion environment, much of the experience was greatly complemented by the discussion that we had immediately following the tunnel itself.
I'm proud to work on a team that's so globally aware and full of thoughtful individuals.
