All life has it’s own power. It’s the drive to survive.
We call it self-esteem!
It comes from within!
If we protect and encourage that power in our children, we get community.
People with inner power still have their inborn sense of honor. They do the right thing because they want to.
They enjoy and respect themselves, like it that way, and intend to keep feeling good about who they are!
This is the root of community. Trust can, and should be everywhere.
To achieve this, we have to allow our infants to keep the power they were conceived with.
This presents a whole different way of caregiving. It’s more like a partnership than having control of everything.
To even consider these thoughts is frightening. Accepting this normal, and natural system of nurture is inevitable though.
We have learned enough to recognize that our instincts used to be correct in nurturing our kids into being powerful in their own right.
All of our sciences have now come to this point and then stopped, just short of this last giant step. The pressure is building.
When the dam bursts, it will suddenly become common knowledge. Those who don’t want to believe will have to go live with the flat earthers.
We accept that people are fine until damaged. We recognize that evil doesn’t happen, until after hurt has happened.
We accept that troubled children come from poor environments.
We accept that sharing our most terrible feelings makes us a little better each time we do it!
We understand therapy usually, if not always, takes us into childhood trauma.
I believe we all recognize that the more controlled a group is, the more conflict there will be surrounding it.
I also believe that we recognize on some level, where respect and acceptance are the normal condition, these people enjoy the best possible relationships.
The only thing missing from common belief now is that acceptance and respect need to begin early, at birth or even earlier.
That’s the finishing touch!
We have come a long way, and are now on the verge of getting to enjoy the benefits!
Allowing our young to keep their power changes everything. It removes childhood conflict, which in turn removes all conflict, as they grow.
This has happened here and there throughout history.
These are peaceful times, without much to put in the history books.
But we all recognize it’s possible.
We live in despair, but we want Utopia!
That’s easy!
Don’t take away peoples inner power. Don’t take away their self-esteem. They need it, to feel right.
Otherwise it will be insecurity, helplessness, and fighting, as we all know!
That’s all! Do that, and it’s done. That’s all that’s necessary!
Any family can do it. Then they discover how self-esteem can change life. It works! Conflict disappears. Trust happens.
The world’s beliefs have been soured by people who hurt.
These beliefs are wrong now, and are leading us into worse conflict with each generation. If it isn’t stopped soon, it might be too late.
We mustn’t take over. We need to leave our children’s self-esteem intact.
People with self-esteem agree easily. That’s because they aren’t forced to avoid truth!
People who hurt have a need to find beliefs that ease the pain and loneliness. They cannot accept reality where it interferes with their “comfort beliefs”. That’s how people get stuck like they do.
People with their original self-esteem don’t hurt. They can afford to accept truth!
With agreement, these huge world-wide disagreements never happen. Conflict doesn’t either. Neither does hate, defiance, or the need to always win.
Community and fun happen!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey,
Take care,
Norm
