All we did wrong was to stop our nurturing, and take over infant development! ๐ฅ
The consequences have been catastrophic! ๐จ
Proper nurture, as nature intended, brings peace and community! ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ
Troubled people, trauma, psychosomatic sickness, hate, defensiveness, conflict, and war are all results of not providing nurture! ๐คฌ
We no longer nurture our young! ๐ฎ
What’s nurture? It’s supporting new life in its own efforts to master life! ๐ฑ
That means we are supposed to support our children’s own efforts to learn and survive! ๐ธ๐ป
It doesn’t mean we should replace their own “drive-to-survive” with our own ideas, and it certainly doesn’t mean we should use violence to do it.๐จ
That’s what we do! We can “sugarcoat” it all we want. ๐จ
Nurture is nature’s way! It supports the efforts of new life, right across our world! ๐ด
But, we parents don’t nurture anymore! ๐ฑ
The bottom line is, we want obedience, and we are ready to use force if necessary to make that happen! ๐ฅถ
Well, we shouldn’t be doing that! The consequences are troubled people, misery, and worldwide conflict! ๐ฐ
It really is just that simple! ๐ฏ
Without support for our own efforts in coping with life, we all become troubled people. Troubled people are angry and aggressive! We did that! We caused all of that! ๐
Now we are all troubled people! We all hurt! ๐คข
We flounder! We withdraw, and we fight! We have poor esteem, and we keep secrets because we no longer have the confidence to “live-out-loud”! ๐ฌ
We have been making a bad mistake! โ
There is no middle ground! We can’t cheat, and get away with it. ๐คซ
We either nurture or we don’t. We get either happy adults with good self-esteem, kindness, and compassion, or we get traumatized adults, with hate and anger issues. ๐
Life is a fixed entity! We cannot do whatever we want, then walk away expecting no consequences!
Of course there are degrees of nurture, and therefore degrees of trauma! โ
The aftermath though, holds true in every instance. โ
Nurture leads to utopia. It invites comfort, trust, and cooperation. ๐
Demanding obedience leads to trauma and war! ๐
Ironically, even our own lives are infinitely more fun and easier when we back off, and allow our young their own identities, instincts, feelings, and drive! ๐
They become our friends and can’t do enough for us! I know how this sounds! Try it though! Prepare to be amazed. ๐
We can have world peace in one or two generations. ๐
For verification, try this on a smaller scale. The younger, the more dramatic and instant the results appear. ๐ผ๐ป
Thanks for listening!๐๐ป
Take care. ๐๐ป
Good luck on your own journey! โ
