Peace 4 Prosper

Whether in families or orgs (not Orks this time, I mean: organizations) or in the wider sense:

We should have learnt by now that prospering needs peace. 


If we have not learnt that, then we need to ask ourselves 'why not', actually?
Didn't we have some decades time by now?

I think I have told all along always little bits of my personal history and one tremendously important aspect is that I realized what my father tried to install among us children. It is the false assumption that humans perform better when the are in competition. Thus, create constant competition and you will 'bring out the best in people'? This kind of thinking though is installed in many people's heads. Yet, many simply can't fulfill what is expected and end up always pretending this or that.

It's such a waste of energies to always act 'as if'.


What it leads to is not better performance of the whole thing but it is a kind of environment where everyone is the other one's hyena. Sorry to the animal, as usual, who is just born such way as its survival scheme.

Humans though CAN decide to be the animal or change through mind. 


The true result is:

  1. Constant competition - instead of collaboration according to the best features everyone brings in - causes constant distress.
  2. It is proven in neurobiology that constant distress exorbitantly reduces creativity.
  3. I add to this: Constant distress is even 'eating up' the neurons' functionality, physically.
  4. Competition is nice in sports though - and also here only if rules are played fair.

With this in mind you might understand me continuously pleading for bringing up children in sane ways. We need the energies and skills for solution finding, not for one bringing down the next possible other.


What happens if this is not the case you can see in Central Middle East right now. No excuse but for sure a contributing factor is that any human, having known nothing but war for all their lives, severe need, violence, desperation in a constantly unstable and unsafe environment goes very wrong ways.

Psychological violence though is not better at all, another point I am trying to hint at regularly. 

Still, many parents believe they give their children an advantage in the rat race if they eradicate the child's true self and implement the 'Beast App' in their kids.


Psyche and body are through the ways we 'are made' so much connected that
  • either psychological violence is detaching the mind from the physical existence so that you produce persons who look visibly functioning but inside everything is dysfunctional, 
  • or/and the physical body shows same symptoms as if the 'only' psychological treatment was real physical violence.

Violated children learn the patterns from environment and may most likely become violators again or passive-aggressive supporters of violence.

The more the mind is forced out of the body, the more the instinct survival schemes rise.

These come with symptoms like greed where there is no reason for greediness, envy where there is no reason for if you look closer, hatred which is projected at others but is mere self-hatred, big Egos and drive to control and stomp others into the ground and  most of all, a simple thinking pattern which differentiates only black and white since childhood, and sorts the world that way.

Only in peaceful environments people can use all their creativity, enjoy to lift the other because they know those would do same in return, invent new ways instead of following old and worn-out, proven dysfunctional schemes. In peace people can teach one another what they know, bringing out the real best in everyone, not the 'best' in the sense of competition where one has to loose so that the other may feel as the winner and which encourages underhandedness, lying and manipulating information, false flag and sabotaging the work of others.

Peace also needs clear rules where people

a) understand the consequences of what they do to others and environment and 

b) same laws are applied to everyone.


The a) is of course much more difficult to achieve, therefore societies have installed laws.
The problem is that also b) is not working and this obviously throughout all times of mankind.

This, as none of this is the case, we are not in peace, and it really all starts in the minds of every single human person.


I think we had a small window of time over the last decades to have installed fundamentals and structures in societies which would have been needed for what is ahead.


Yes, it makes me sad to see that only so very few people have understood and worked on this.

Today's solstice, the shortest day and longest night for the Northern globe. The sun is shining straight into my face and warming while I am writing this. I wish a lot of sun light for each and every one.

Let's see what happens in the mystical three days it is 'buried' to re-new.

We are children of Earth. As in the children's rhyme, she had four children, and each one she loved same.

Only people separate by inducing competition. What we need is to understand that only respect and collaboration will end that game.

Cheers,
Lyn

... Mocking Democracy

And just as if to prove the last post, recent US trial sentence reaction of the mother of a shot and very obvious burglar (while this was then not part of discussion):


'Gulcin said her two older daughters are devastated because they always counted on Diren to protect them.'


As much as I would feel with a mother, and I feel with many mothers, I get a problem here.

First, the boy definitely broke into someone else's property. Maybe he did several times. There is no statement that anyone excuses for causing the home-owner and wife massive anxiety. Long-time fear can result in unwishful reactions. To have phantasies of self-defense by attacking the attacker is psychologically 'normal'. Not normal would be to feel and state (at the hair dresser, for instance) that you cherish a constant violation of your home and prefer to live in a state of constant insecurity where you never know when you might be slain in your bed.

And secondly because the statement as above does not implicate what these words really mean:

It means what many children living in Germany experience growing up the recent one and a half decades: Being bullied by family clans in any personal conflict, being threatened with 'I will bring my brothers' or 'cousins' and so forth in any children's dispute. Underlying, every child clearly receives the message 'we/they have other rights because we/they are stronger as we/they stick in group' (which is in other words bullying; consider whether you belong to the 'we' group or the 'they') and this is imprinted from early childhood time onwards. Thanks to some 'cultural misunderstandings', nurtured by people who obviously have no clue what they do, behind the veil of fighting discrimination, discrimination is pushed forward.

The mocking of democracy to me consists in the almost natural way to demand justice from another country's court, while oneself practicing the 'law of the physical stronger' in the street and here clearly admitting it, even raising it to a privilege. Patriarchy though is most often carried on and nurtured by women who grew up in such simple system and who feed it to their sons and daughters.

Brainwash.

And counter-caricature of all European education and all those hard fought for small wins for same rights for everyone since the French Revolution.

Why would someone who relies on physical power 'to protect' through a male offspring and defend this as a 'cultural privilege', at the same time and when it is convenient rely on justice in the other Western country they live in?

Why point out the son and 'brother' (after having given birth to two girls, should girls not have the same value in a civilized society? Or what is going on in that woman's head?) if people at the same time mobilize the Government of their guest country to support?

It is the same attitude which would declare their 'culture' as reasoning and excuse for violation of other people's rights.


As a native Pan-European (not limited to the current EU at all) Mix Female I have NEVER received support by my own government, state attorney or police in a conflict I was threatened, neither when I was physically violated, nor when was my daughter nor my son. Neither when I was threatened recently by a female neighbor of that same nationality as Ms Dede is, with gang-rape to be executed by her four brothers to 'teach me behavior' (according to what she assumes appropriate in her little horizon). Imagine how relaxing this is for a natural friendly neighborhood and intercultural understanding. Almost forgot to add the statement of her 6 year old son supporting her: 'They will put their penis in your butt and that will hurt'.

THIS is what is supported by the German State attorney.

But this is also not new to me; I was for a decade working with and for violated women and children, and it is almost standard to not act before the prospective victim is a real one (then certainly shut up). Include what constant threat as 'approved environment' means for growing-up children. And it gets damned tough to educate children with regard to Human rights and ethics if the school yard (and the way home) is a permanent offense.

This is only a little episode of what I have experienced in Germany over the last few decades. This is the state of the art in so-called 'civilization' who were so strongly behind a court case in the US for someone whose first nationality and apparently also socialization is not Western-European at all.
Dig and you will find ... a lot more for sure.

As long as it is Western (female) victims with no strong patriarch lobby behind (and no brothers to 'protect'), this is obviously fine. Or maybe a kind of self-destructive pattern, who knows. The Germans suffer lots of depressions so that I would not be too much surprised.

Some people are more equal than others


Well. Got the message.


I may also not self-defend myself or my children against a majority of physically bullying males who do neither speak the country's language (otherwise maybe some rational communication would have worked) nor relate to local laws regarding systematic theft as crime. O.k., forgot, for some such is normal - to me not. Or at least, not by now. But the above was just recently stated by another state attorney (seems I was a little reluctant in recent time to just handing over civil and human rights):

If I defend myself in a physical threat situation after many, many times being offended, this is 'wrong'.

Got the message.

 

Just to finish the other recent issue:


Press started heavily censoring in this country during this year when three topics became more and more discussed in public portals:


  1. Police behavior indicating abuse of power and the lack of transparency and proper persecution.
  2. Rise of crime and especially the brutality within committed by immigrants, also by second- and third-generation males and occurring problems with overflow by refugees.
  3. The Russia/Crimea/Ukraine Issue and people who did NOT prejudge one party.

When any objective discussion is suppressed and especially journalism as what we call the 'fourth power' fails, the opposite most likely will happen, and that is what is kicked-off, still in the form of demonstrations, by the end of the year. It really gets hard to NOT see causal connections.

It is counterproductive to criminalize people who try to name and dissolve conflicts with words and in open discussions for democratic rules and rights, and by this cause the steam pot pressure rise.

If intelligent, background oriented conversation is suppressed, only dumb and opportunists will reign. Who cherishes fruitful inter-relations of our various cultures and heritages can not support rigid, prejudged, manipulated suppression and eradication of all basic values of humanity oriented society.

Questions arise like: Is this wanted? Bring people down to black-and-white approach so that they can more easily be steered and directed? A very dangerous game, anyway. Or is it fear why they sacrifice civil society because who streamlines in time may look forward to a better career? Take care, such has already happened before and we should have learned the lessons. Or is it just geopolitical interests? What if this strategy forms up other what I call 'unholy alliances'?

So many questions are not answered and the truth no one will tell openly.


Just too many still feel safe in their rat race idyls, so that those who stand in for SAME (!) rights and stand up against hypocrisy and bigotry are usually the weaker parties who already feel the results.

And some very few who certainly realize due to access to information that many things go terribly wrong, globally. Mankind had so much to prosper and move ahead in hands.

Civil~Ization?

Looks straight like the majority of democratic civilizations has not reflected a difference between


and

inter-cultural.

Bad mistake.

Multi can be like a bitter-sour fruit salad: just many without reflection does not necessarily bring out the best taste. Multi can also be many parallels that never meet. That's why some kids are kidding about 'my world is parallel'. Sad but to the point.

If one deals with the other, from beginning and always, it would look differently and people could learn one from and with the other. Developments into disastrous directions might be noticed early and, normal in an open society, might be spoken out when they happen. Many open-minded people have done so during the last two decades.

Where societies cover up for long, people learn that they must shut up.

It takes quite some civil courage to nevertheless try to open people's eyes and many times you might be the outcast. Therefore, I like the symbol of the canary in the coal mine - problem about is just that only few notice the canary already having passed away.


If societies would not have been so busy streamlining everyone and everything, there would be a much better concept for solution oriented conflict management. Instead, problems may not be spoken out, censorship rises remarkably, hidden behind other 'good reasons'. But people are not dumb. When suppression leads to counter-pressure it might get ugly, and that is what was to be prevented.


Increase of suppression and loss of freedom in Europe in 2014 is just remarkable.


We may learn from cultures - including freedom to reject what is wrong.
We may learn through empathy, which is a bilateral channel though.

Empathy does NOT work with those who themselves have none, unfortunately.
Same as tolerance does NOT work with the intolerant.
Equality also is falsely placed with those who do NOT regard others as equal.


The question remains who measures. And who prepares the indictment.

We know the lie is most times swifter than the truth.
Where we find that facts must be suppressed or shifted, there is good evidence that truth there is not.


Civilization or Idolatry. That is the question.
Respectively, the first is the one in question.


Take care, yours,
Lyn

... and Artificial World Market Prices

Think about it. I know this since a fellow pupil with an apprenticeship 30 years ago.

Bastard Economy.
Some Fellows sitting together and planning this out.
And their adjutants, Same guilty.

 Remember? (Okay, I am having my Bon Jovi Time Today ...)



Still.

Love,
Lyn

My Generation

Just wanna live when I am alive:



Thus far for explanations. Many of us have given up on the way. Proud to having not.


Richie Sambora for Silver Girl. There are few - but a few is a good pack, too. Shine.



No Hubots.

Life.

Last

Today was my last day within my project and I had to celebrate it.

A bit.

 

I had to Leave.

 

They made me sick.

 


Life always comes as it comes, and what comes is good and for good reason. I knew for the first time that the host of the place I sometimes attend has been born in the Capital City I had spent several very impressive years. Impressive for my further development. What I actually get aware now is that I was spending my initiation time exactly living on a volcano and in The Land of Fire. Good stuff, anyway. Mother Earth cares for and guides Her children.

Well Come.

A spin-off from this talk, a little in Xmas 'Glühwein' attitude, I asked another guest for taking responsibility also for the further generation, as he mentioned he was soon going to retire and what travel plans he had.

Boom.


Target hit.

I am what I am and I know what I am.

What or Who does not Matter. It is What It is and it is Good that I know it.

He left with a statement that he would NOT care but for the people he personally knew.


Yes, I am a nuisance. A Good One, I guess. People don't want to know it but yes, they get reminded. A Society is consisting of All Members of it.

If I can only make people think for only a millisecond.

Then it was worth it.



Love for all who need. We All need. I need, too but I know for long no one gives. Nevertheless.
Lyn

The Most Versatile Tool

There is no such versatile tool as the human brain.


It usually becomes what you use it for.



So don't fear to use it well and often.
Even better: It is for free ;-)



Just take some care that the spam filter's settings are arranged by you and not a bot.

Yours,
