So smoky here (Canadian wildfires, I guess). But got psilocybin today so let the healing begin.
@ruffneckred
I'm following it on the tele, it's awful to see the destruction caused by the fires. Please stay safe. Sometimes it can help putting up wet curtains to reduce the smoke impact or if available using an air purifier.
Sending you healing beams 💙
Hey, you guys!
@yavatroobi6886
Hi there and welcome ot our community. Nice to see you in the forum! If you need any information on how this works just send me a message, happy to help

I think that the younger generation should be willing to listen to some of the experiences that we had to go through and find ways to get through them. So they won' have to experience some things.
Been my experience the younger generation is pretty angry about the state of the world handed to them by there elders. And rightly so, seeing how all they are presented with is the bad things in play.
@ruffneckred
It is sad that the younger generations have to pay the price for what generations before them have caused. Not sure though if in those days (talking going many a few generations) all the information about environmental protection was available as now.
@scarletPear1945
I agree scarletPear, sometimes it can hurt to see them doing the same mistakes many of us did already and had to suffer from them.
What do you all think children should learn about the adult world?
There's a lot more going on than meets the eye. They should learn to pay attention to more than just the surface of things. Listen to what's said, how it's said, to what's done, and consider everyone's motives.
@WharfRat
Good points, I hope with the spreading of mindfulness practises this will change.
@amiablePeace77, 1. that old is gold and we should respect our elders. 2. That you alone are responsible for your actions because all actions have consequences.
@purpleTree4652
Learning respect and taking responsibility are important things in life!
@amiablePeace77 What do you all think children should learn about the adult world?
I think all children should learn they have to use discernment to see what is true and what is inaccurate.
@soulsings
I agree soul, it would protect them from many negative things which could have been avoided.
What do you all think children should learn about the adult world? Don't worry. By the time it gets here, it won't make any difference.
@Offmytrack
Not to worry that much is definitively a good advice.
@amiablePeace77
Take responsibility for yourself
@Amelia2324
Very important, take responsibility for your own well being, do self care!
@amiablePeace77
No, take responsibility for ALL you do in life, all you do that effects others, all you do and say and what results from that, all you do in any, way, shape, or form, and be responsible to everyone that effects--your words and actions
@Amelia2324 that is an ideal to strive for. I think first we need to stop blaming ourselves.
@soulsings
Hi Soul, I hope you have been well. Thank you for sharing your opinion.
@Amelia2324 I have been well. Good to meet you in the forums
