What does our society as a whole need to work on?

Planning For The Future

What does our society as a whole need to work on?

Firstly for their own self development.’

Second we need to work on these society wide if we are ever going to mature and evolve into an enlightened society and world.

I. The things we need to instill earlier in our education. These skills need to be taught and learned by hopefully our future generations of children.

  1. Empathy Skills
  2. Active Learning Skills
  3. The Scientific Method
  4. Critical Thinking

II. These are for me very important but lacking unfortunately by a sizable percentage of the population.

I. Open Mind.

II. Reason, Critical Thinking, etc.

III. Love, Empathy, etc.

IV. Non-Judgmental.

III. This is my own personal philosophy of peace and wisdom which I’ve repeatedly said multiple times in my written work.

  1. I am personally responsible for my own thoughts, feelings, writing, speech and actions irregardless of the other person or external situation.
  2. I will not return negative energy with more negative energy. I will endeavor to rise above the situation or a conflict.
  3. What I do and say is always a direct reflection of myself. What the other person does and says reflects the other person.

IV. Trying any of the following will not work with a person of a polar position.

The reason is that the other persons version of reality is just as real to them as your own viewpoint.

(Cognitive Distortion at work here is called ‘Emotional Reasoning).’

  1. Reason: Trying to reason with someone of dissimilar belief will not work.
  2. Arguments: Trying to argue with someone of dissimilar belief will not work.
  3. Insults: Trying to insult someone with dissimilar beliefs only goes to show how just really irrational you, yourself are.

With Respect,

Are restrictions on pro-Palestine speech ‘the new McCarthyism?’

From The Bottom Line – 8 Sep 2024 | Updated a day ago

Is there an attempt to chill debate on Palestine and Israel on both sides of the Atlantic?

The United States, and the West in general, are in a “dire period” of repression of speech on Palestinian freedom or criticism of Israel, argues Dima Khalidi, founder of Palestine Legal.

Khalidi tells host Steve Clemons that despite strong constitutional protections for free expression, “there seems to be this exception when it comes to Palestine”, as witnessed by the wave of censorship, intimidation, firings and restrictions on activism in the wake of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Starmer learnt that the price of power was support for genocide

By a crushing majority, the 17 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled more than five months ago that Israel was “plausibly” committing genocide in Gaza.
The highest court in the world put Israel on trial, accused of the ultimate crime against humanity.
Much has happened since that decision – and all of it is even more incriminating against Israel than the evidence considered by the World Court back in January.
