Clarity of Innocence

They can’t help it! The defiance keeps them out of fear.

This always varies directly with nurturing!

It starts in the beginning! (Doesn’t everything!)

It’s always about either trust, or fear.

The way we all experience the world is set up in infancy.

The manipulators and fighters didn’t get any nurturing!

To nurture, is to support a new life, in it’s own efforts!

In it’s own efforts!

All life on the planet gets nurture, except people!

There has been a steadily growing tendency for us to insist on our young being obedient, rather than us supporting their self-driven development.

There has also been a steadily growing number of people who are without any consideration for anybody around them!

Stop for a moment and think this through. Isn’t requesting obedience from another life, who is trying to develop their own abilities, a lack of consideration on our part?

Have we inadvertently taught this?

It’s certainly not nurturing. Nurturing is nature’s way. It consistently produces lovely, compassionate people. Is this not proof enough?

If this keeps getting worse, we are all going to be narcissistic!

Sounds insane doesn’t it! How could it be so easy to change this? We can end the fighting and suffering by nurturing? How could we not know that?

We are the only life that has stopped nurturing!

Like it or not, it’s a simple truth!

The proof is in observation! Overcontrolled kids end up scheming, fighting and manipulating. They just don’t feel safe without that.

Respected and encouraged kids turn out trusting and cooperating. They just feel safe.

The proof is in the results. Use either method, and the results are consistently predictable.

This trend applies within the dynamics of families, and also on country wide scales.

The determining factor is how safe each infant feels in being their true self, right out loud!

If they don’t feel safe, they are going to take action to survive.

And so, here we are! Most, if not all of us have indeed, taken action! Our world is a war zone! The most troubled people are the ones who now rise to the top!

The best of us, the most compassionate, are only a voice in the dark!

The message is nurture. We can make our prisons redundant in one generation.

We can make life fun again. We can enjoy others as our friends again.

This has all been impossible lately, as more and more of us live defensively.

Can we bring the good life back? Please!
