AVOID HARMING! EDUCATE CHILDREN IN ETHICS AND KINDNESS

Since we are born with an abusive side, to effectively counteract it, it is necessary to educate children and adolescents in the ethics of kindness, from the cradle to adulthood, year after year. It is essential to transmit to them the values of not harming others (except in self-defense, and only against the aggressor), justice, honesty, tolerance, diversity, freedom, honest generation of wealth, etc.

It is highly advisable to do so both within the family and at school, raising awareness, spreading ideas, convincing, refining their behavior, and setting an example through our actions. Let us do this in ethics or values classes, but also on the playground. Let us offer praise and rewards for good attitudes, but also disapproval for bad ones. And especially, let us be rigorous in preventing bullying.

The genetic inclination we have toward malignancy is so deeply rooted that, in order to neutralize it effectively, it is necessary for the teaching of kindness to be sufficiently INTENSE. It is like a crooked tree; to straighten it, one must apply the necessary force in the opposite direction.

This is the way for future generations to be better than us, just as we are more civilized than those who imprisoned innocent gay people, and even more so than those who burned people at the stake whose only sin was thinking differently, or who impaled, crucified, and committed other similar atrocities.

If Scandinavians or the Swiss have become quite civilized, it is largely due to the way they educate children, using both pedagogy and social pressure simultaneously.

Let us make the next generation go up at least one step! Although if it can be ten, even better.

To de-abuse our societies, let us also take as an example the successful denazification of Germany in the 1940s and 50s. It was based on school education, visits to concentration and extermination camps to see the suffering caused, the rejection of nationalism (with even waving the German flag being frowned upon), etc. They have been filtering the sewage, and they should be congratulated because they have left it quite clean.

We are conditioned by our genetics, but education has a great impact, to the point that it can be decisive in reforming the dark side we all have. Therefore, let us bring out the best version of our children!

If we do not do this, even if we pass thousands of legal precepts to prevent abuse and hire thousands of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and police officers, there will be constant violations. And the courts will remain overwhelmed with millions of cases where someone has trampled on the rights of others.

Furthermore, the consequences of poor education can be much more fatal than that, potentially leading to the repetition of catastrophes like the First and Second World Wars, because our genes have hardly changed since then. The seed of abuse is always in our DNA and can sprout at any time. Therefore, let us not lower our guard and let us transmit kind values throughout the world.

What can an ethical person of good faith do to achieve this?

1. Educate your children and grandchildren in these values.

2. Sign this campaign to ask all governments to teach the ethics of kindness in schools. SIGN NOW!…

3. Share with as many people as possible. More than 8 billion humans live on the planet. But if you share with some of them and convince them to do the same, a chain can be created that reaches many people.

Thank you for contributing to the development of a world that is not toxic, but nourishing.
