"I am appalled that even as a healer I have to get my cup poured into in this incident, but in this incident I will continue to pour into other people's cup as a way to pour into my own cup."
Said Charles Murrell, "an artist and peace advocate in the Boston area."According to a police report, Murrell was walking down the street when he was in the middle of a group of men with masks who shoved and pushed him. He fought back, and then more men went after him, knocking him to the ground. He received stitches to his hand and had cuts to his head.
This is a strange incident. Is there video of the attack on Murrell? The description begins in medias res: "he was in the middle of a group of men." Did he insert himself into the middle of the group as an act of art/activism? Or was he an ordinary pedestrian who found himself surrounded by men on the march?
And who were these men? Why were they masked if they were just marching down the street with flags and drumming? It doesn't seem as though they were chanting anything or giving interviews. But they had a "Patriot Front" flag. I've blogged about Patriot Front people twice: 1. December 2021/a march at the Lincoln Memorial, and 2. June 2022/31 people found in a U-Haul and accused of conspiracy to riot.
But I was most interested in Murrell's quote with the cup imagery: "I am appalled that even as a healer I have to get my cup poured into in this incident, but in this incident I will continue to pour into other people's cup as a way to pour into my own cup." There seems to be some accepted notion of a person's life or soul as a cup, and interactions with other people as a pouring of whatever is in your cup into theirs.
My google search turns up articles like this — "Pouring From An Empty Cup" — that make me think this is somewhat standard metaphor in therapy:
Pouring from an empty cup is where a person gives from a place of deficiency.... Many people who pour from an empty cup mistake selfishness with self-care.... There is nothing selfish about putting one’s needs before others in order to function properly.... What you want is to feel good about yourself and to feel loved and accepted. Unfortunately, we cannot feel loved and accepted if we do not love and accept ourselves.... When we give from a full cup, we feel like much better people. Our inward motives are matching our outward actions. We are being our true selves....
