People, who are not hurting, are lovely!
Light hearted and fun, people living through their identities and instincts, are all about feeling loved, playing, loving, and taking care of each other.
That’s what people are really like!
Why then, are so many people selfish and cruel instead, in these times?
Because they hurt!
Massive hurt has been introduced into the population.
It’s still here. It causes people to feel poorly, and to behave aggressively.
We are adding more and more hurt! We unintentionally cause it in our young! Each of us has our own inner hurt, to add to the world’s trauma.
Our existence in this environment now, can be compared to living in a prison camp!
We live in the prison of our own secrets.
How do we manage survival, under these conditions? Do we compete, ruthlessly grabbing our share?
Or, do we remain true to our identity, and therefore our instinctive values, which leaves us at a disadvantage, because these are not selfish?
Why doesn’t this hurt fade away over the years?
It is us, who keep it going.
Is it possible to remain emotionally healthy in a prison camp?
It would require the ability to ignore our surroundings, wouldn’t it!
We would have to have the ability to live our own life, treating ourselves and others with love and trust, while they betray us continuously, in every conceivable way.
That’s just how most people are now! People don’t live through their instincts and identity. Most live through their own hurt, mixed with societies rules. In this condition, we don’t feel our mistakes.
If we could feel our own inner world properly, we would then know how clumsy and insensitive we are, every minute of every day.
Behaving, and viewing others as we have been taught, we wreck havoc onto everybody around us.
People have needs!
We ignore that, we bully them, and we end up pouring more hurt into the world’s people, and causing even more hurt for ourselves.
Uncomfortable or not, if we could live a pure life, in these hostile conditions, it does seem like we could remain undamaged.
What we see around us in these times, has absolutely nothing to do with how people really are. What we are seeing, is how people behave, when we hurt everybody badly enough that they are ready to strike out blindly!
All this can be easily stopped.
But, not by anybody who believes that what we have, is all there is!
It requires people who can identify truth, right through their own pain! It requires people who can ignore their own hurt, and visualize how life really should be.
This assessment of the worlds condition is a lot to accept. It certainly seems like a lot to take on faith!
But nobody has to!
Our real nature is available any time we wish to test it. These “assumptions” can be verified, and with ridiculous ease.
If we allow one person, any newborn, to function through their own inner resources, meaning their own identity and instincts, rather than our demands, we get a real person, every time.
Which immediately proves this assessment of our social condition.
And which is only a small part of any solution.
Understanding doesn’t help.
A hurt person cannot change. The resources aren’t in them! Hurt locks us into defending ourselves, which makes change impossible!
In other words, people can’t fix it, because we can’t change back into being flexible people.
One solution does seem possible though!
Humans are getting better at repairing damage to other people!
Those, who have been hurt badly enough to partially disassociate from their feelings, are getting more help than they ever could before.
Disassociation is what happens when a human lives in a prison camp. It’s a hostile environment. There are no safe places. There are no comforts or fairness. Our humanness is out of place. Love and trust don’t belong.
To survive, we disconnect somewhat from our human feelings. That’s just what we do! Unfortunately, doing that also inadvertently disconnects our only connection to our identity.
In this condition we don’t have the flexibility to change, or fix anything.
We have to deal with people’s hurt first. We are simply not going to see anything clearly and accurately, without first reducing people’s loads of inner hurt!
Mankind is getting better at fixing peoples inner hurt!
That might present the only hope available to us.
What else can be done, to sway the opinion of the many, with so much excessive inner hurt, that they cannot avoid being unknowingly cruel, and believing destructive ideas, which all add to the world’s hurt.
These people are stuck in a place where they cannot release themselves, from their own hurt. Whatever they try, takes them into worse conditions.
That’s what happens when we try to avoid hurt. If it’s already inside us, avoiding it takes us into the trap of ever diminishing options. Our world just keeps getting smaller. That’s because the situations we have to avoid to not feel our hurt, keep growing!
