Unconditional love
The crude punishments of life dissolve when children are loved. Children must find their way unhindered by societal norms/rules/expectations. This will allow them to live to their highest potential as human beings. It will foster maximum creativity, expression and individualism. If we collectively achieve our full potential, we will be most equipped to solve the problems of our world. This means that freedom must be exercised under all domains up to the point of hurting someone else, which should be the whole purpose of our legal system. We need to look at all humans as children, and in our laws and societies, we must do the same in our homes: love unconditionally. All of this begins with the self. You are at the center of your universe and you need to love yourself unconditionally in order to reach your full potential. When you love yourself unconditionally, you are equipped to be present and aware. I call this being the captain of your ship. If the captain of your ship is always present, the next problem can be solved and the chaos that is the result of a problem can be spared. This applies to every physical feeling, emotion, illness, pain, discomfort, conversation, interaction and experience. This allows for healing, which takes place in the moment and is never complete. This is both the beauty and the burden of our species. All positive intent gets muddied, complicated and confused as experiences explode into fractals of atoms leading to the chaos of society and the brutality of human indecency. It is my firm belief that we can make it easier to stay present and achieve our highest potential as a species, but it is going to take a lot of work and it starts with looking inward. Loving unconditionally will evoke societal changes that support this theory.
