Old Forest.

The conservationist turns to the economist and says,
“This old growth forest is sustaining the health of everyone’s fresh air.”
The lumber businessman turns to the economist and says,
“If I chop down that old forest, I’ll sell the lumber and use the money to go on holiday where the air is fresh.”
The farmer turns to the economist and says,
“If the forest is chopped down, I’ll buy the land and plant potatoes, which grow and make profit, and then I’ll go on holiday where the air is fresh.”
The economist looks at the group who are talking at them and says,
“I’m not wasting my air listening to you mob for free, it’s $1000 per hour to present your wealth creation ideas to me.”


The conservationist guffaws and slaps their face, then says,
“People, if all the forests get chopped down, there won’t be any fresh air at any holiday place.”
The lumber businessman, farmer and economist bash the conservationist to death and smile as they agree,
“Well now that conservationist is dead there is more fresh air for the lot of us, so let’s apply for rights to chop down the old forest.”
In the dark shadows of the old growth forest an indigenous magician smiles whilst they think,
“In another thousand or so years all the trees will be cut down and then I won’t have to keep coming back to life as those damned old trees, getting tickled by the critters crawling all over me is so frustrating.”
An ant agrees with their ant work mate that it’s all quite perplexing and they both get back to work on aerating their nest.

Back at the secret womans’ site, the three wives of the indigenous magician sit around a small smoking fire. The eldest one, currently living in the youngest body speaks,
“This argument has gone on long enough, when we planted that forest all those millennia ago, He told me He preferred a desert there and looks like He’s going to get his way in about a 1000 years.”
The oldest looking one nods her head in agreement as she indicates,
“Time flies so quickly here on Earth, can we get back to the dreaming now?”
The middle aged one, the wisest of the three in these matters speaks,
“Not so hastily girls, those ants make a good point, let’s feel about that for a while.”


The Minka Bird perched on a nearby branch sharpens its’ beak, recalling the taste of ant.

Australia is a signatory to this stuff, but honestly, nope, mainly it is barely even noticed.

The unemployed are slaves to job search providers. The disabled are subjected to cruelty by centrelink and medicare. The children are degraded and punished in schools, private or public. The workers are in servitude to the powerful. The wealthy are slaves to the taxation office. Corporations are in servitude to maximisation of share holder profit. Small business is barraged by paper pushing government oversight. Families are oppressed through endless desire to own a house and land. Liars pretend they tell the truth, and the truth tellers are thought of as liars.

We have been cursed, but there are no more curses.

We are not free in australia, but we will become so.

Awaken and Rise, it is a new day.

We are free people, no longer anonymous, now we are public and publishing.

When you take the victim out of the spiritword you have the sword.

Positive Parenting, poor parenting, teaching and ways forward by david jarvis 2022.

Some examples of poor parenting and poor teaching and a comment about it…
reprimanding children often, avoid being hyper critical, bracket with positivity and balance reprimands in private situations.
withholding affection, children need affection so much to develop healthily.
disciplining children publicly, do you want to be disciplined in front of your friends?
all advice, no encouragement, I like how you are really working on this, how about we try this one too…
not setting rules, children need boundaries, it’s adults role to set quality boundaries.
comparing your child with others, internal reasons for motivation is more powerful and healthy.
not respecting childrens feelings, childrens feelings are even stronger than your own.
being a poor example, if you are lazy or angry most of the time, your children will absorb that.
being overprotective, protection is one thing, a cotton wool blanket is another.
lack of trust in the child, we all have the right to make mistakes.


poor parenting creates in the child…
antisocial behaviour
poor resilience
depression
aggression
difficulty in managing relationships

how to be good parent…
hands on parenting, you’re not a lawn mower parent, but you are involved.
do not shout, speak at comfortable volume, speak calmly.
give reasons that are real reasons, “not because i said so”, if you can’t explain why – examine your real reasons.
set rules and explain why that rule is set. Why is that rule set like that?
give your child options, food, clothing. You can be sneaky! You can have baked beans on toast, or cheese on toast with baked beans on the side.
don’t raise your hand, be gentle and kind. Adults are powerful, remember that, do you want to be treated gently and with kindness?

Children are flowers, give them quality environments, plenty of loving water loving light and they will become even more beautiful, flowering into something wonderous, a warm caring well balanced adult.
