Humans are absolutely unreachable unless living from our own power and instincts. All life is trying to live from its own power, including us. When we can do that, we’re lovely. When we can’t, we’re cruel. That’s all that’s wrong with the world.
Now for some sarcasm.
People are hostile and argumentative. They won’t follow the common good. They’ll do everything their own way, and spit in your eye while doing it. The really young ones are fiercely independent and defiant, the little bastards.
Surprisingly, they do have some good qualities.
Sadly though, these all come from inside. If we don’t let them have their own way in life, we will never see any of these good qualities. We will see only anger and hostility! These are usually well hidden, but the never-ending conflict gives it away.
Life is so annoying when it always has to live its own way! Why can’t it just do as it’s told?
Apparently, people, as with all other life, have instincts, providing them with enormous wisdom. What a lot of hooey! Show them the strap and they fall into line right quickly!
On the planet Earth, children are made to behave, and that’s that! Little buggers! Always destructive in some way!
It has to come to light that some of them might have something called feelings. Well, they can just quit their bawling and behave. The crap we already have to put up with is already way beyond anything we should ever have to endure.
It’s been said they have needs! Well, don’t we? We need them to do as they’re told!
Apparently, when allowed to live from the kindness of their own hearts, values, and instincts, they’re kind and loving. Fat chance of that happening though. Until they do as they’re told, they will be hearing from us, loud and clear. We provide for them, and they’ll do as we say as long as they’re under our roof! That’s only right!
It’s not like we’re here to be their mother, now is it?
