The average person blues

The following text is a pretty blunt and challenging call to action for anyone who is in two minds as to the importance of understanding themselves. It is not designed to make anyone feel bad about themselves.

What if the average person is a potential danger to themselves and to those around them - through a lack of awareness?

What if the average person is oblivious to their daily transgressions?

What if the pain and suffering the average person encounters could be avoided if they only had a greater bag of choices and responses?

What if the average person could switch from living in a hostile environment to a nurturing environment through self-care, self-discovery and empowerment?

What if the average person could step away from trouble by understanding how their childhood traumas impact their adult life?

The perpetual cycle of the average person blues

What if this is all part of an ongoing process that ensures each generation passes on the blues to the next?

Average people become average parents, dumping their own frustrations onto their children because they don’t know anything different.

Average people become average teachers, casting their resentments and unfulfilled dreams onto the children in their classrooms.

Average people become part of the average police force, oppressing vulnerable people with their power, because they can, because they can get away with it.

Average people become average CEOs and politicians, their corruption and lies stemming from entitlements alongside apathy and disempowerment on the part of the average worker/voter.

And so it goes on, and so it goes round... Average children enter the world oven-ready to be distressed and distressing.

Any thoughts on this?
