Maybe society will do something when our prison population hits 5,500,000
prisoners, or maybe not.
Perhaps the rich will continue getting richer.
The poor will continue to suffer.
Because there is not education, education, & prevention!

I'm fairly certain that the k-12 school system is the work of the devil. It is operant conditioning in action, creating the consumer soviet that associates learning with punishment and consumption with relief.

I think psychological evaluations would be a tough sell because of the use of drugs on children to make them content with their lot in life. Then there would be the issue of politically incorrect thoughts in the family.

Why not allow the children to be productive, earn a living, own property, learn to be responsible for themselves and their education? Drop the discrimination laws against them. The first Admiral of the US Navy was around 12 years old when he took command of a ship! Today he would be called names at school, drugged on Ritalin, spend hours on busy work, and live a meaningless life in front of the tube watching other people command a ship.

And you're the only person ever to have been called a dumb shit...

If the "victim" loved God enough in the first place, they would be set on their dream, which would give them the strength to overcome being called a dumb shit.
It's their own punishment for turning their back on God that they don't have confidence in themselves.
If they had faith in being able to fix their relationship problems, they'd take action and find a way to fix the relationship's probems.
Even if the "mean person" is really mean.
How much faith/belief/love do you have?

The problem is, the scariness is in the "victim's" head, and that's what they need to understand.
It sucks to find yourself in a situation like that, when you actually gotta do something to make the situation better, but get used to it. I've been going out on a limb for a long time now.

With a different mindset, mental abuse is stimulus to create incredible strength. Like you were talking about how now, as an adult, you can let bullets bounce off of you.

Finding understanding, and working through relationship problems makes you a better person in general.

Educate them about God, show them what they need to see.
Help them live their real lives, rather than forcing their future.

Ramona, if you could answer these questions based on what you would
like society as a whole to do, please.

Mayflow, "Whether my mind and I can change others around us is
debatable, but we can at least fall in love with one-another,..."
This is what I am striving for with my "NON NEGATIVE ENERGY"
philosophy.
To instill a paradigm shift in our consciousness.
A lot of what I say, Jesus says as well.
I am not christian, but I love the biblical gospels.
As far as I am concerned, Jesus, and the rest of the bible are two
different and separate religions.
Jesus taught peace, tolerance, & love.

das.energi.
I can visualize either a future or an experiment dealing with the raising of
children.
Each of the 16 sub types have special gifts.
(1) What if children were tested? They then could determine the best learning
style for each child.
(2) There would be a group home learning environment.
(3) It is my contention, that each time a child has a negative response, that
that moment would be processed and understood properly.
(4) Therefore there would be less "DISTORTIONS" in the child's makeup.
(5) The teachers or parents would be specialists in learning how to properly
address a child's emotional difficulty on the spot.
(6) Therefore the child would grow up happier, more well adjusted, more
rational and more loving.
Of course this is all conjecture.

Annabel_Lee, "...it mainly just made me think about whether I
sometimes do something similar in conversation."
Annabel_Lee, in all your responses, you seemed very open minded
and open hearted.
I do not know how you communicate in person.
I too have this concern.
Sometimes I have too forcibly slow my self down, and not respond
until they finish their sentence and pause.
It depends on my anxiety and how extremely passionate I am about
the subject.
It is good that you are cognizant about this area of human communication.

We have a tendency to project OUR realities unto others & other
situations.
For every situation (generalization), there are a 100 opinions, 100
reasons, and 100 variables!
We HAVE to keep an open mind.
We all have the capacity to be rational.
No one's opinion should be discounted.
A caveat is anger & negative emotions.
They distort reason.
Their report of the situation is thus suspect.
