to stop bossing each other around

would certainly improve the human species chances to evolve towards a species where compassion would be more important than competition, a human family where cooperation could be a voluntary choice

perhaps starting with the children and youth … if the adult human beings could find it in them to stop telling the younger generation what they should do with their thinking and feeling potential …

if we adult human beings could come to an inner understanding, how much we loose when we dictate our wills towards the younger generations, how much damage we create in their minds if we demand of them to read this or that book, memorize these dates and phrases …

stuff they do not have chosen to spend time with but are forced to do so by the law, what threatens parents with prison punishment who allow the children to learn or not learn just as they want

no one human being has the right to impose his/her/its will onto an other human being

so yes, perhaps to abolish this one tradition … compulsory education …

would allow a lot more children and youth to live free from domination

but then there is also the topic of the parents and other adult human beings in the local community eventually wanting to replace the …compulsory eduction … from the regional and nation state imposed … with a domination imposed from parents to children

and or the people the parents believe to be fit to educate the children

so … perhaps the most ideal case to abolish the tradition of compulsory education would be a scenario where the local community, the neighbourhood, the village, the town, the city-district …

would find a consensus what somehow says … all children and youth who live here in this local community …are being respected by every adult as fully sovereign human beings … no adult human being in this local community has the right to dominate a child and or youth human being

such a local community what also would allow every child and youth who is interested to participate in votings and political decision findings … such a gathering of people who want this being free of domination not only for the next generation,

but also hope and work towards a political reality where everyone in this fully sovereign local community is being fair and honest with each other so the inter-personal work to dissolve the domination urges and the “wanting to be the boss sickness” can find a cure

in people meeting each other via their daily business handiwork artwork studies etc. occupational doings and try to not dominate one another
such a local community what would prioritize becoming free of domination both in the outside dealings with each others

as well as in the inner thinkings and feelings towards each other … such highly evolving local community would eventually create a youth sanctuary
a space where all children and youth can go to and stay as long as they want to…

where only children and youth 3–18 years old can live
a space where no rules are but the ones the children and youth being here and now make up inbetween each other … or write them down … pass them onto each other verbally …

however they would want it to be

the future belongs to the ones who have the least material influence power onto this so called reality

its not so easy to imagine for me how a human global society would be designed and influenced by a youth
what has grown up not being dominated

not being bossed around

but i guess it could be one where weapons, money, property … are much less important than joy, love and voluntary sharing

i am longing for this future where every one is free from being dominated
