If we never caused hurt in the first place, we wouldn’t ever have to endure bad behavior!
Nature provides support for survival, just the way it should be done, with assistance instead of hurt!
People though, provide despair instead. We read the situation wrong, and we unintentionally cause hurt.
There is no need to cause hurt! If we can find a way to stop doing that, the entire world benefits!
The hurt we cause is all about nurture.
Nurture is the natural way of all life, throughout this, our world.
It’s is the act of assisting and encouraging the power and resources of new life to survive, all on it’s own. It’s the gift of power!
If we still did that, there would be no hurt.
There would be no war, and probably no conflict.
Self-esteem
All life eagerly attacks their environment in an all out effort to survive and flourish.
All life does this through their own power.
That’s what all life is! It’s a self-driven entity.
So are our children!
They have no choice! All life is self driven!
If we still allowed and encouraged our children to live from the power of their own inner drive, there would be no hurt!
But we don’t do that!
We don’t support them in their own strength!
We don’t even recognize any need for their own strength.
Not any more! We take over everything!
Meanwhile, they are still creatures of this planet.
Their job is to master life and survive through their own resources, just like all other life does.
That’s what they are trying to do, and we unfortunately put a stop to it.
They get a gigantic boost of pure energy, meant to power their way, and off they go learning to walk and talk in short order.
Then, that powerful drive of theirs meets an absolute dead end. That’s us!
This is where the hurt comes from, that is causing our world-wide pain!
It’s puzzling that we ever thought we could take over other lives like we do.
What were people thinking. Every life on the planet powers it’s own way.
Children need to use the power that they were gifted with to survive, to power their own life, in the normal way.
This need does not just go away, ever!
People need to feel strong! If they feel weak, there is going to be no end of trouble!
Our children fight to power their own life. They fight to exhaustion and their eventual defeat!
And that’s the hurt. Without it, this would be a peaceful world!
With every child allowed to live through their own power, this “cause and effect” relationship gets proven, over and over again. The result is always the same. Strength and compassion.
No conflict.
Our interference is causing discordance in the harmony of life. The minute we stop our interference, peace appears.
Now that we have strayed so far from normal life, we get unlikely situations that shouldn’t even exist.
For example, those that do bad things always secretly feel like their actions are proper, justified, and fair!
Their behavior matches their feelings. To them, it feels like appropriate behavior.
They understand that others might consider their behavior wrong, but within themselves, it just doesn’t feel wrong!
Our justice is backwards! We think the threat of punishment causes good behavior. We think punishment stops bad behavior. We see that it doesn’t, but what else are we going to do?
The reality?
Excessive hurt is what causes bad behavior.
Bad behavior doesn’t happen until hurt happens.
It’s us that needs to stop our hurting of others. Then the bad behavior never happens!
Early hurt is abnormal, and without it we would not have bad behavior in the first place.
Doing it right, without the hurt!
Many groups have recognized how troubled our culture is, and tried to start over. Understanding the basic need of life to power it’s own way, and to be proud of it, would have made these efforts successful.
That’s still true!
Want a loving and peaceful group? Allow each member to own their own power, and live through their own resources.
That works.
Strong people are peaceful. It’s the damaged ones causing all the conflict.
Allow strength, and peace breaks out!
It’s amazing that this powerful and basic need hasn’t been recognized and appreciated.
All other life on the planet should have been a clue!
It’s easy to test. Allow the young to cope through their own resources. Watch the change. I would call that proof!
No other life hands out early hurt! It hands out strength. Any hurt that happens comes from the environment.
But people hand out hurt! We refuse to allow our young to follow their own path of discovery and learning!
Why would this hurt be enough to cause this much trouble?
Because every life has a vital need to be strong!
All life powers it’s own way. That energy we are born with is our motor.
We, at this time, do not allow the energy of our young to drive anything. We decide it all for them!
We prevent their motor from being able to power their life!
Every effort of their own runs smack into out refusal to allow it!
They cannot comply with our many requests without first deactivating their own drive.
That disconnects their identity, feelings, and needs from their consciousness.
Do you think that might hurt?
It’s everything most important in their lives!!!
That’s enough hurt to cause bad behavior, and then some.
When we support the efforts of our children, encouraging them to cope with life through their own resources and efforts, they remain strong, healthy, fun loving, and kind.
Understanding this, puts the responsibility squarely on us to not cause hurt!
All life is designed to power it’s own way!
Whether we like it or not, that is how life really does work!
All we have to do is to go along with natural needs, and nature’s ways.
That’s really not an unreasonable request!
Supporting the power of our young is instinctive. If we can listen to our own identities, that’s what we do. We help them to get powerful!
When we can do this once again, this chapter of hate, violence, and conflict ends.
There is hope. People are not evil! They just hurt!
Hurting others has consequences.
Those consequences are everything that’s wrong in this world!
Try allowing strength on any scale. Then we get to see what people are really like when they don’t hurt!
Thanks for listening.
