All life has a common thread. Just like a seed, everything that any life is ever going to need is already in place at conception.
People are the same! Their identity is already complete at conception, with instincts, feelings, and awareness of needs all ready to work together.
Throughout nature, all new life is fully supported as much as possible in its all-out self-driven blast into survival.
For people, when their own drive, energy, and attempts to master life are encouraged and supported, that human feels powerful, enjoys life, is trusting and loving, is cooperative, is non-destructive, and is playful!
This is the real nature of people!
When an infant’s identity is ignored though, and they are made to follow directions, being forced to be other than who they are trying to be through their own efforts, that’s when the trouble begins.
When an infant is not able to live their own identity, they hurt.
Is it too much to ask, for any of us to be allowed to live our own identity?
We all hurt now! We have low self-esteem! Can you guess why?
Of course, the identity of infants appears to change! Change happens because of hurt!
Every life starts with the inner power to thrive.
In these times, people suffer the loss of their inner power as they accommodate the demands made on them to be all the things that are asked of them.
They get asked to be everything but their own identity!
They suffer a loss of self-esteem! Our inner power was our self-esteem!
If we respect and encourage the identities and self-efforts of our infants instead of banning them, we get trust, love, and fun.
All life is self-driven! Our job is to allow that and protect them from death if possible while they learn life on their own terms.
Only they can feel their own needs, and no lives have the same needs!
Our children get a break when we don’t have time to monitor and direct them. We start to see stronger more compassionate young!
When we make them into something other than who they are we get traumatized children!
They grow up of course, and then create a traumatized world!
We’re living in one right now!
Traumatized people can’t feel their own needs, instincts, identities, or general awareness of life! Therefore, they cannot recognize and appreciate the needs of their own infants.
We are getting really close to understanding this imperative to be self-driven as we learn to recognize the needs and rights of the helpless!
We’ve designed a list of rights! That’s a start!
Now let’s allow all life to enjoy those rights, including infants!
Against most people’s expectations, the world will right itself!
Once we do, and begin supporting and encouraging each identity, we will gradually move into Utopia as we rightfully should!
If we had always treated our young in the natural way, by allowing them to tackle life through their own needs and efforts, we would never have left Utopia!
It’s amazing to consider that the way we treat our kids causes the feelings they will live with, and any trauma they will suffer, which in turn determines the nature of the world they will eventually generate!
That’s exactly what happens though!
The nature of our world is determined by the way we treat our children!
Our world is not as it could, or should be!
