Why would anyone legitimately choose to harm others as a means to achieve a goal (whether it&#8217;s our goal or not)?\u2002Is it fear?\u2002Is it complacency?\u2002Is it programming?\u2002Is it psychological influence?\u2002WHY??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-65deb1086f6c935b427add75bd56ae8f wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">War separates mothers from children, children from parents, psychologically challenges organic loving aspects of humans and emotionally disassociates the &#8216;soldier,&#8217; physically maims and damages the body, and literally chooses who lives and dies by association of cause.\u2002In my humble opinion, war is THE worst kind of trauma that perpetuates generation after generation, and it is quite easy to see in our world, country, and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-bea8781e4ee850d811c9558757f99e4d wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">The psychology used to encourage suffering, sacrifice, and martyrdom among humans will loop until one (or hopefully many) choose not to participate in or even entertain such behavior.\u2002If we choose to exit the loop, we can change the trajectory of outcome.\u2002A choice made to love, rather than be persuaded to harm out of\u2002either persuasion of belief, anger, or simply a lack of knowledge of the human condition itself, which is kindness (humankind.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-6da4a84173d3d2d6677a82d26c6e926e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">I&#8217;m choosing to view the trauma of war through the eyes of a mother.\u2002As a mom of two grown daughters, the selfless act of growing a human, even if it came unplanned, is life changing.\u2002Many women take this for granted or choose to view motherhood as a medical condition of sorts without regard to the incredible blessing it is to grow a human within our being.\u2002It&#8217;s more than a body, its and entire emotional, thoughtful human being within our being, how incredible and SUPERhuman is that?!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-b59994a31d9131cfb1ad1f6d58b75efc wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">Speaking from this place, it is impossible to fathom having harm come to my child or another&#8217;s.\u2002It brings grief to me; even more so when war seems it is for selfish gain. power, control, or worldly stature.\u2002The bond of love is unending, created from generation to generation in every human ever conceived.\u2002The gift of life coming from the mother&#8217;s womb which held, nourished and grew every consecutive generation one after the next, with each human also holding the ability to do the same, creating human life.\u2002Ever female created all the eggs to be fertilized within their ovaries within their mother.\u2002Every male began the process of sperm production within their mother.\u2002The FEMALE is THE vessel for creation, even though the male holds a specific role, the mother&#8217;s womb facilitates the act to completion and exit from watery home to dry land and breath.\u2002Can you see why a MALE will never fully inner stand this gift?\u2002Why no matter how they try, they still seek a warm place to be held when they are hurt or unloved?\u2002Without reverence and respect to creating another human, the role is diminished to a simple task that anyone with intention could replicate, but the reality is not that.\u2002The human condition of emotional love supersedes the &#8216;task&#8217; as superhuman, and it is the familiar reason for every belief genre to glorify motherhood.\u2002Will the sanctity and respect gain foothold in our current earthly climate with unrealistic expectations where motherhood is relegated to a &#8216;role&#8217; and not a condition of birthing a human??\u2002To disregard the miracle of motherhood is to disregard CREATION itself to the point where we are dicing, splicing, and interjecting patented codes for the creation and supplementation of existence as a human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-faebd5eb82fb2df527fe9966040761d1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">Now, it wouldn&#8217;t be fair to point out mothering in our world poses challenges; from simply choosing to be one, being a healthy vessel for growth, being emotionally balanced to handle the challenges of raising a human to adulthood, having a partner who supports the process, having the freedom to manage influences around the growth process, etc.\u2002Humans are essentially pre-programmed and simultaneously externally programmed and conditioned through their immediate surroundings and experiences.\u2002To consider the mothers responsibility is daunting, yet we each embark on this task when we deliver our children.  The sons and daughters of our mothers have the ability to both break cycles and heal bonds in upcoming generations.\u2002Evolution in motion through awareness, conscious decision making, loving and nurturing choices in parenting.\u2002It&#8217;s beautiful, really!\u2002We can learn to empathize with mothers&#8217; who struggle and whose choices were based in the influence and experience they entered into motherhood with, be it external persuasion, illusion, or corruption of belief in prior generations AND hold space for them and encourage and empower them to heal these wounds (often from their own childhood).\u2002When we learn and know better, we are responsible for choosing better.\u2002And so it is.\u2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-elements-518d7ab9cd801291291b3a6604b72ec2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\">Bless the mothers and those who respect this incredible ability and ultimately, gift.\u2002Bless the mothers and those who find the courage to change behaviors from harmful to loving and break cycles of traumatic behavior.\u2002Bless those who are not capable of seeing how an attitude of war and putting any one human over another is anything by harmful and traumatic, I pray they will soon have their eyes opened to this truth without experiencing a loss to complete the cycle.\u2002There can be more than one kind of warrior, a warrior of love and courage who seeks compassion and forgiveness will empower others to do the same without bringing death or harm in the process.\u2002Love and Light, and as always&#8230;&#8221;In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU!&#8221;\u2002Tammy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-domine-font-family has-custom-font wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-family:domine\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The passage delves into the devastating impact of war and the profound significance of motherhood.
