Appreciated, loved, respected, and encouraged!
That’s how it should have been. Right from the start, and all the way through!
Something went horribly wrong, for every person on the planet.
It happened in infancy. Instead of getting the support that all life gets, we became disciplined and forced to be what others wanted. It was wrong!
We were lovely. We would have cheerfully done anything!
Unfortunately, what others wanted, was for to be somebody else. It still hurts, for all of us.
It’s about nurture. We don’t do that anymore.
Our society doesn’t assist newborns to proudly develop as themselves. They take over instead.
The consequence is this hurt and violence.
We all hurt, and we all seek relief.
Regardless of how sick our world has become, we can still move ourselves into the natural way of living.
We cannot get what we need from others. They don’t have it to give us.
But we can give it!
People only misbehave because they hurt. Let it go. Appreciate them and give them respect. Avoid those who take advantage.
Begin to trust. Most will take advantage. Some won’t though. That’s a start already.
We can avoid the worst offenders.
As we leave the attitudes and aggressiveness of our society behind, and enter a world of comfort, safety, respect, and appreciation, our mood changes.
All by ourselves, we begin to feel much better.
Another truly wonderful development happens as well.
The kindest, most wonderful people that we never knew existed, begin to notice us, and seek us out.
This really happens.
They just turn up and hang around in the background!
This is not a material world. There are no ferraris.
There is only the most wonderful comfort that we have ever missed.
With joy. With security, and feeling so very, very good. And peace. Glorious peace. Lifesaving inner comfort.
That immense, limitless comfort we were supposed to live our lives in.
The rest of the world can go on beating each other up.
We really can leave it all behind.
Good luck on your own journey.
Thanks for listening,
Dedicated to my brother, Rickey, gone from us now, and to my mom, who would have loved this one.
