The Guards: Series following the Guards in the dark and complex world of organised crime, as Ireland’s criminal networks reach unprecedented levels of escalation…. this was 2019 but all we know is that the crisis is worse, not alone addiction, mental illness, crime, now we face a right wing movement augmenting the role of An Gardai to definite crisis level for their sanity to work as The Guardians of the People. Time to educate ourselves to the drug crisis that has taken over. Having just read the Myth of being Normal by Gabor Mate, and also having listened/watched endlessly to his talks about trauma, I would ask people to show more compassion to An Gardai, to start by watching “The Guards” and empathise, show more compassion, and humility with the role they have. I would then ask people to listen to Dr Gabor Mate’s 2010 TEDx Talk on “Addiction”(link below). Now we can call out addiction to drugs, to shopping, to porn which is destroying the lives of very young people. Please care and share. Talk was 2012 – The Guards 2019; it is now July 2024.

===========================

Powerful synopsis of addiction, source of trauma to illnesses that cause early death. Think of the drug addict or the person with mental illness and just look at the so often rotten teeth that divides them into categories of “us and them”
