Dear Viswa,
Charley can only post some posts here. One would require quite a few others and perhaps there could be a significant change which might occur. However, from what one has seen, in news reports, and even here, with people in Canada in the country’s capital, Ottawa, and even where Charley lives, there are truckers demanding that all mandates re: Covid-19 end. However, it is only the provinces - separately - who are responsible for imposing mandates, not the federal government. What is worse is that there are obviously Americans, and even pro-Trump protestors (the fringe minority) who have insinuated themselves into the protest - there are even those waving Nazi flags !! They have caused damage !, physical and psychological. This is highly unusual here in Canada. There is undoubtedly a certain sector of the population here that is beginning to behave exactly like those protestors in the States on Jan. 6. There have been arrests. They value freedom, the freedom to behave exactly as they desire. This is nothing but licentiousness, an act of personal will.
Putin talks just like Hitler, before Hitler invaded other countries, right! Germany will not interfere because they depend on the gas which they import from Russia, for the majority of their heating. Putin doesn’t want the Ukraine to enter NATO, because that would mean war, as all countries who are in NATO would have to send troops to the front line to literally fight themselves against the Russians. And the last just war was WWII. Since then, there have just been a lot of unjust wars, right? Charley, when much younger, did loads of volunteer work (an hour or two every week or so, adding several pages to one’s CV, making good friends, having fun, and contributing to Charley becoming a good human being), “believing” that might wake up people - one of which was against the armed forces recruitment centre in one city !! THIS CHANGED NOTHING !!
So, what can Charley do?.. nothing. One has seen a trend to the upcoming disaster increasing worldwide. Personally, one understands that this will have to run its course. Millions are going to die. So, the only thing one can do is to do the work on oneself, going deeper and deeper, right? It will take several hundred years for people to realize all the damage they have done in having “created” and are responsible for this disaster.
The word “responsible” only means “able” to “respond”… that’s all. So, one can tell and see, quite easily, that those who ignore/dismiss when Charley says, “this is a conclusion”, even a false conclusion, or when C. says, “this is speculation”, and that too is ignored, then you see who is responsible and who isn’t, right? Such behaviour comes from generations of incorrect behaviour, incorrect action, and what has happened is that such people have become exactly like their abusive parents/guardians. So, always back to the conditioning. The reason for which irresponsible conditioning exists is to give one an opportunity to, as they say in French, “combler le déficit”. And, the only way to do that is to realize that one is irresponsible, and to delve into that - an example. The same can be said for non-violent behaviour, one is to see and understand the violence within. Arrogance must be seen for what it is as well, the lack of humility. Hence, the value of negative thinking. So it is the person who doesn’t talk about what it means to be “responsible”, but to see what is “irresponsible” in one’s approach to life, in one’s verbal exchanges, etc.
There is the seeing of that because even science has confirmed that those who suffer from “attention deficit syndrome”, or ADHD, etc. can’t begin to be healed until they admit that they have that problem, right? And, it is only after they work on that problem that so many have an opportunity to become excellent teachers, right?
