Our world is in trauma.
Hostility, defiance, and isolation have never been real qualities of people.
Love and cooperation are.
HOW THEN, DID WE GET THE WAY WE ARE NOW?
By listening to bad advice.
We cannot guide others without first understanding their needs.
We are trying to do it, though, without that understanding.
The results are all around us.
HOW CAN WE RECOGNIZE THE NEEDS OF OTHERS?
It comes from inside us. Our instincts tell us.
Any of us, removed from the peer pressure of this environment, do understand.
It’s instinctive.
It comes from within.
We support and encourage. This has a name. It’s called nurture.
Life comes from within. The driving force comes from inside.
When that’s allowed, life remains at its peak of health.
Humanity then settles into its natural condition of love and cooperation.
CAN THIS ACTUALLY WORK?
Looking around at others, two things stand out.
Wherever discipline is strongest, conflict is as well.
Wherever others are encouraged and supported, peace and cooperation happen.
Consider therapy. What happens there? Therapy is, of course, encouragement and support.
If we choose encouragement and support from day one, is therapy ever necessary?
I leave it to you to discover that answer.
IS PEACE POSSIBLE?
All life is driven from within.
Instincts, needs, and feelings provide power and direction.
This works throughout all life.
People have ignored the needs of life.
It has not turned out well.
Perhaps it’s best to leave this discussion right here for now.
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
Take care,
