Those who
feel like victims in this life are usually those who have been living with an
identity crisis. There ability to
express themselves clearly has been squelched very often by a parent or teacher
who themselves have an identity problem and manifest there feelings of lack on
those who are weak and insecure.
Ones personal identity or self-realization is vital and a necessary
ingredient for feeling loved, validated and confident.
Each one of
us want to feel a part of those ingredients and we absolutely need to integrate
them into our daily living experience or else we are too often feeling
victimized, inadequate and often vulnerable to radical teachings that prey on
our sensitivity and sense of rejection.
Please do not be mistaken, there is a continual battle going on in the
world between good and evil. The
evil is always seeking to befriend and attach its thinking on those whose ego
is deflated and vulnerable.
Unfortunately the good is naïve to the workings of the evil and as a
result fails to see the warning signs.
An important
question to ask yourself is: “
What can I do to nurture myself and those in my sphere of influence so that we,
individually and collectively will not fall prey to evil and satanic behavior?”
While there is no simple answer, I personally do believe that there are
many shifts in behavior that will be helpful to the youth of the world today;
such as,
1. Be more attentive to the needs of your
children or the children of your friends.
Children are ripe for learning.
They are very aware of what is going on in their world. Anger, resentment, greed and lack of
genuine love are negative emotions that children see and learn early on in
their development years. Some
parents are extremely strict and abusive to their children. They set rules and restrictions that
are controlling and manipulative thus preventing the child to grow and breath
in a nurturing environment. Power
play games and suppressive behavior by a teacher or parent can and often will
cause destruction to a weaker personality. It leaves room for negative and evil forces to infiltrate
and gain a strong hold on that child or individual who is seeking attention and
rescue.
2. Leave breathing room for the child to
express its opinion without ridicule or disciplinary responses. We all need a safe haven to feel
comfortable in and if we do not receive it at home we will look elsewhere for
it. Since a very young age I have
always said and believed that I am entitled to my opinion as long as I express
it in a clear and non-threatening way—others may not agree with me but that is
okay. That is part of our freedom
of self-expression.
3. Be open to conversation—expressing it
with a meaningful and friendly attitude could be a teachable moment. If you are living your life with
resentment, fear and anger, that is what you are teaching. An angry child wants to express those
feelings back to you so that you will get a taste of some of the same medicine
that you are dishing out.
4. Children live in a fantasy world and it
is our job and mission to help them create a fantasy that is healthy and
nurturing so that there reality will be more of the same.
Compassion,
sharing and caring are key for the success and growth of a healthy child and
adult. We all seek it and we all
crave it yet too often we refuse to be it because we are caught up in our own
ego-centered world. If we want to
create a better world to live in where people can commingle openly feeling safe
and protected from evil, we must be the change that we want to see in the
world.
Do not forget
that there is a battle of good and evil going on and between the worlds. Every time we show compassion and we
exhibit concern and love towards another, we weaken the forces of the enemy.
The enemy cannot thrive or survive in that environment. Don’t you think it is time for all of
us to come together and reject the ideology of evil, hatred and/or our need to
get even? I certainly do!
