The tempers often run high in this day and age. Especially on a fairly impersonal medium like social media, and that hurts me.

If we want to evolve into a society where space is diversity, safety, peace, relaxation, joy, love, creativity,

then it is necessary that you first get to know yourself before pointing your finger at the other.

I give every person a relaxed life. A life in which everyone can express their talents and qualities, in a society in which everyone is valuable.

Our brain interprets what we perceive with our senses, so it is not a direct experience but an interpretation. If you observe, a direct perception, there is only a sense of tension if it is not your truth, or relaxation if it is completely correct. Our deepest needs (which is a better word for what I write as desires and feelings) are safety and food. So people feel unsafe and insecure and act out of survival, logical.
