When I was a child visiting my grandfather’s farm, I watched as “slop” was dumped into the small pigs’ feeding trough. They came running and continually, violently shoved each other out of the way to get the best eating position (which was to have both front feet in the trough). This was when I learned what competition is. I knew there had to be a better way, at least for humans, to interact.
Right Ladder --- Having RESPECT and COMPASSION for others leads to cooperation and prosperity.
Right Wall --- CRITICAL THINKING promotes intelligent decisions, and exposes manipulative, competitive, and selfish behaviors as poor choices.
We should teach children “critical thinking” skills instead of thousands of ways to “fight” with each other.
Abundance Mentality (Critical Thinking, Respect, and Compassion):
---Mother asks child: “What is something important that you would like to do?”
---Intelligent people solve problems by first understanding, then cooperating to find win/win solutions.
---Make movies/videos that portray fun, discovery, adventure, and accomplishments.
---Achieving something important (with a win/win attitude) is far more rewarding than endless activities trying to beat “them.”
Fighting (Mindless Group-Think, Fear/Hate/Win, and Selfishness):
---Mother tells child, “You’ll be a winner if you finish eating before I do.”
---Rowdy community organizers protest, blocking other peoples’ free speech. (Those organizers remind me of little pigs fighting at the feeding trough.)
---Many movies/videos portray violent, selfish behavior. (…little pigs fighting?)
---President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Abe met on Feb. 10, 2017. The biased news media’s report of this event on TV (asserting their own agenda) focused only on argumentative immigration policy questions, instead of how both nations can work together to prosper.
Do we want prosperity – or self-destruction from ever increasing violence? The choice is ours. Note: The bible tells how God destroyed civilization with a flood because the “earth was filled with violence”(Genesis 6:11-13) Now we are the gods who could destroy ourselves. WE CAN SAVE OURSELVES by teaching/asking, “What is something important you would like to do?” instead of saying, “You’ll be a winner if you beat other people.”
Picture this: Everyone enjoying a life of maximized potential and enjoyment! That’s using the RIGHT LADDER at the RIGHT WALL. Forget about butting heads all the time, let’s discover, mentor, and thrive.
