Nearly all of us think of ourselves as a “good person.”
And I believe it. Almost everyone simply wants to be happy, to be peaceful, to flourish.
But I invite you to take inventory of your beliefs and actions.
Own 100% responsibility for how you may (by accident) further human systems that conflict with peace and flourishing.
If you punish your child, that’s not life-enriching.
If you support governments (which kill people left and right), it’s not life-enriching.
And if you love government schools, that’s not life-enriching.
Don’t beat yourself up, We need to get rid of the right-wrong paradigm, anyway.
But honesty matters. Take a look at the facts of these systems. Become curious and logical.
Then ask, are you living a life congruent with what your professed values?
Do that, and peace will flourish.
And your own happiness quotient, too.
