Surprisingly, all we have to do is to stop making it worse!
People are not naturally the way we see them now. We have to work hard to get them that way!
What do we have to do anyway, to stop believing the most troubled and hurting people the world has to offer?
Left, to live our own identities, we are the most loving creatures on the planet. Everybody in therapy gets a little more like this every day.
And, here’s where it all went wrong!
We just don’t get to live our own identities!
That starts on our very first day!
The worse this gets, the more trauma we see throughout civilization!
It has indeed been getting steadily worse.
We are all born with the power of life. It comes from inside.
We don’t get to live it anymore!
So we can’t feel our power now!
Our identities include inner power, instincts, feelings, our real needs, and awesome sensory awareness.
Few of us, if any, can feel any of this now. Leaving this behind didn’t make us better!
It made us feel helpless and volatile. It made us defensive and hostile.
The human race is making everybody isolated, confused, angry, and feeling helpless.
More and more of us just drop out, one way or another.
And that’s why we don’t feel powerful. If we did, we wouldn’t have anything but love for those around us.
There has never been any real reason to feel defensive or angry. That’s only a consequence of not feeling powerful.
Children grow up to be adults. The way they felt in their early years is the same way they feel later. Early feelings always lead this parade!
They reform our civilization according to the way they feel. Therefore, we have created this civilization by the way we caused our children to feel in their early years.
It’s not going well, is it?
Allow them to live through their own identity, and the results will be radically different!
Allow your own kids the freedom to be completely themselves, and watch their resentment turn into trust and love!
As far as discipline goes, the trouble is coming from us, not them! We demand obedience. That’s not what life is.
What we really need is simple cooperation. Unfortunately, that is ruled out completely, the moment we insist on obedience!
All conflict seems to have the same root. Somebody decided to be the boss!
Defiance between people doesn’t even exist until we threaten someone, such as our children, with a loss of identity!
