“I Will Decide What You Should Think, And I Will Decide What You should Do”!
Yes, that’s the issue. It’s the beginning, the middle, and the end of every conflict.
Without it, there is no conflict. There’s nothing to fight about.
With respect and tolerance, people usually, if not always, share willingly.
It didn’t start out about greed. It’s about respect. It always has been. It’s about granting all other living things the right to be themselves.
Greed only appears when they don’t get that respect.
Our children need respect and acceptance to be themselves. Right here, is the source of just about all of our world-wide conflict!
The right to be who we are!
The damage caused by our present attitude cannot be measured. The overwhelming pain generated world wide, that has been caused by our demands was, and is, all for nothing. A destructive waste of life.
The arrogance that caused us to even think this way, comes from fear, not our wisdom or instincts.
This one bad habit could, and increasingly likely will, bring an end to mankind.
Cause and effect is absolutely clear. This issue is not going to go away, ever. The results are frighteningly consistent.
Deciding anything for others, against their will, is the opposite of everything natural.
Mother Nature provides the power of survival, fully supporting every single life in their efforts to blast their way through all obstacles, powering their way using their own unique drive for life.
The very moment that thoughts of controlling others enters our heads, a chain reaction is set in motion that will destroy the love and trust in ourselves, and then, after that, everyone we come in contact with!
Self-esteem really is that sensitive to the wrong pressures.
There is one big reason why this always happens.
Life has a weakness.
I think we all understand it is self driven. All life is launched into existence, like the bullet from a gun. It will survive if it is at all possible. It will use every ounce of energy it has, anything to make life work!
It has to come from inside. Coming from others doesn’t make any life stronger. It cripples life. It conflicts with self driven survival, and self esteem.
Nature supports every effort of all life. Other life may compete, and nature will support that effort, as well.
The weakness? What happens when any life is not allowed to survive through it’s own abilities? What if it’s own abilities are ignored, and disallowed?
It will never stop trying, as life is designed to be powered from within. It will suffer massive hurt, as defying that powerful internal drive in an effort to be obedient, is a discouraging self defeating act! It is to challenge our own power of life. If we win, we have damaged ourselves.
This is serious hurt. It’s life or death serious. It’s enough disruption that that life will probably come apart internally. Our original identity will never stop trying to drive the bus, and our feelings will hurt bad enough, that we must avoid them. We disconnect internally, in various degrees.
This is probably true for all creatures, but there is only one creature in our world where this is actually a serous problem.
Have you jumped ahead? Yes, that creature is indeed, mankind.
Mankind, in it’s natural condition is nothing like the people we see around us.
Naturally healthy people, supported in their own drive to face the world, are far different. They are wonderful. They are cooperative and playful. They have no need to compete for importance. They still feel naturally powerful.
We can still have this life, but not if we are determined to keep control. Our control causes damage, first to us, then to the others that we control. They have to defeat their own survival energy to become obedient, which means crippling hurt, and a need to escape from it. As for us, as long as we live with a control mindset such as this, we will never feel strong. The two are incompatible. Control doesn’t fit in nature.
Every one of us, in this world at this time, has issues. Each one of us carries massive hurt. We keep secrets. We don’t live out loud. Why? We don’t have the confidence. We started out feeling powerful, just like all other life, but we all became forced to disconnect from our own feelings to some degree. They hurt too much. Our power is gone. Our wonderful sense of our own importance is gone. That’s why we can’t live out loud.
Mankind doesn’t get to power their own way at all, not after the first few years.
At this time, the adults stand together, insisting on the necessity of directing the lives of our young. To accommodate our need for obedience, the young have to separate from their feelings, and carry hurt with them for a lifetime. This is our current system.
This is probably the biggest karma to ever happen. People, insisting on control, might have doomed the entire race.
Mankind might disappear from existence, because of the shear stubbornness of those most hurting. Are they capable of allowing others to own their own life? Those most hurting seem to gravitate to control, as that must feel good when we hurt.
Hopefully, should the worst happen, whoever takes over next is wiser.
This theory is all too easily proven. It’s works so consistently that it really isn’t a theory at all. It’s simple cause and effect.
Can the world work without using force? Of course. Infinitely better, in every way.
Only the arrogant will be disappointed. They may have to say please, instead of giving orders.
If they always get far more cooperation that way, as they will, does it really matter that they have to ask instead of demand?
Not to most of us. It matters to the arrogant though. They have developed a need to be in command.
The cooperation of a respected person is unlimited.
We don’t have much experience with that.
The cooperation of a forced person ends when a chance of rebellion appears. Trust is never there. This is pretty much the condition of our entire world now.
