Herr beschütze Wald und Flur - HFF!

:-) Annalia, nowadays i ain't religious neither (at least the priests wouldn't call me so).

The positive natural instinct in everybody is a kind of "working hypothesis", and i am experimenting with it since i first heard it twenty years ago in Buddha's teachings. There they call it "basic goodness" or "buddha mind" . And also in christian teachings we hear about the "Holy Ghost". From my point of view, the essence of these teachings coincides, the differences of the narratives are less important.

Often it works well and at least it lifts up my life. Whether it is true or not, who knows ? For sure i won't never again believe in people who insist that they are the sole owner of "THE TRUTH".

From where stems your ability or inspiration to "educate" other people ? Maybe you don't need to educate them, just help them remember and re-dis-cover their "Golden Heart" which often is covered by bad experiences.

From a scientific point of view, i am convinced the homo sapiens necessarily has a basic positive instinct, cause that's the only way we have survived. We are quite weak animals, our power and jaws and speed and senses and endurance and fertability are weaker/lesser than other animals.

Our biggest advantage is our ability to co-operate . And only people with a positive basic instinct can fruitfully work together on long terms. That's my experience of many years in the business. It's only the many ordinary people with a glimpse of their "Golden Heart" who have built our sparkling civilization.

Nowadays this seems to be outdated, many people believe in greed and technology. But this turns out to be destructive. Obviously there are many aggressive greedy assholes around, too. But they are only beneficiaries or parasites. They abuse the results of the positive majority. A striking example is Mr. Trump. For some years he has been one of the most powerful men on earth, but what positive result did he achive ? Less than null !

In most ordinary People like me (and probably you) there is an ongoing Competition between the positive instinct and the bad temptations. This is subject of many religious teachings since ever ...
