My point exactly. We are taught to glorify people who win at all costs, who value people based on wealth, and believe that some are better than others based on how well they manipulate the system. We train our children to compare, compete, and measure their worth based on how well they perform on tests and label EQ "soft skills" and do nothing to cultivate the empathy, kindness, and creative collaboration that are so desperately needed.
That is why I say this mindset is engrained. It needs to be dug out like a badly ingrown and infected toenail. It is destroying us and our children- who are our future.
What these children are having to deal with is utterly heart breaking. Thank you Jena🙏🏻🪻💫🌷💜
Yes...hoping Song Flight may be a way forward to start changing the institutions that produce people like Putin.
Excellent point Jena. 💜
Thank you. I just think the issue is bigger and deeper than any one institution. It is engrained in our psyches.
It would help if humans stopped mistaking psychopaths as powerfully good humans to place in power and saw them for the actual monsters they are...
