Mind Barriers - Breaking Point, No. 52



Mind barriers disappear when people have had enough of any given or tiring situation. Suddenly the anger or lethargy is replaced by a glorious freedom that empowers. Anything can be achieved in these moments of high potential. Enough mental harassment and most people will stand up and defend themselves – diplomacy can only go so far when emotions are high and the balance is one-sided.

All human beings are highly emotional unless it is trained out of them in severe circumstances; such as harsh governmental regimes, strict cultural norms and radicalised cults. No one needs this heaviness of mind; it is not a natural state to be in. When the innocent get pushed too far, the breaking point follows and action is the almost unconscious answer. That driving force of defence and empowerment flows with the strength of a river current. There is no way back, forward is the only direction, win or lose.

Calmness is the optimal state to be in, why live life any other way? Productivity and enjoyment of a chosen occupation or pastime creates an ambience of joy. Family life should be happy and inspiring, so individuals can grow and learn about the diverse planet they live on. Yet a misguided few continue to disrupt the flow of daily life. Help is needed so destructive personalities can find the cause of their pain or disconnectedness, everyone deserves options and healing. Those not born into loving families have a difficult path, but this does not excuse acts of continuous disruption.

Sometimes people get themselves in a pattern of dreary or wearisome living, but when the catalyst comes, change is the welcome reward. The new or untried suddenly become allies instead of objects of fear. Mind barriers are learned or self-imposed and can be dismantled when recognised. Life is to be fully lived whether it is difficult or not – there is no easy ride through life, though you can soften the edges with love and wisdom.

Nurturing Female Rule, No. 53

Image
Should mothers rule Earth? Would wise, nurturing, intelligent, multi-tasking diplomats bring peaceful results to inter-country communications? Could less aggressive leadership be the answer to the world’s problems? The death and assault of civilians in war ravaged countries is unacceptable in times when war should be in decline, something abhorrent to the thoughts of modern humanity. Have world leaders learned from the misery and suffering of previous battles? Why does it take so long to remove unstable aggressive leaders who rule way past there term of office and rig elections. Countries may go to war to protect the innocent, though there are often hidden motives and deals done. It has been said that the preparation for war boosts economies and innovation, but that is a heavy price to pay for so many deaths. Who gets to decide – who lives and who dies? Is male leadership along with egocentric behaviour the spark that ignited most historic and current conflicts? Aggressive to...

Women’s Rights via Revolution, No 71

Image
  The breadcrumbs of misogyny are easily seen in a history of women’s suffering and denial of rights. Patriarchal religious societies that purposely put men first for at least two thousand years are now witnessing its noxious failure. Corrupt governments that are self-focused are quickly measured by angry public sentiment. Governments without gender balance have become dens of mistrust. Lack of respect towards women in male dominated workplaces can be uncomfortable or become dangerous. Systemic sexism developed slowly; its design seeping toxically through millennia and distorting daily life. Parent’s desires to have boys, because they could work and support their parents in retirement and carry on the family name, only added to social attitudes towards girls and women. Words and language used to restrict or belittle females flourished in older writings where they were often portrayed in extremes for their value as virgin brides, harlots, mothers or Saints. Women’s education was...

Fatherhood, a Century of Change, No. 49

Image
The changing role of fathers as parents has brought dramatic differences to the family unit with a century. During the difficult war years and great depression men kept their emotions hidden in order to portray certain strengths of character and calm. They were told that men don’t cry even though they had witnesses many horrors and heartaches – their role as head of the household was to be invincible and ever-strong in front of their families. This restrictive rhetoric led many to self-imposed emotional prisons, where escapism often led to substance abuse. This created an invisible wall that partially separated families from really knowing each other at a deeper level. The pressures of fatherhood were demanding as many struggled to find the steady work needed to support large families. People had a standard role of what they should be doing in society whether they liked it or not, though change evolved and some broke through the stereotypes. The more prosperous 1950’s had a fi...
