In this counterintuitive case, one can ask WHY it is counterintuitive. Spoiler alert: lack of insight.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Please put aside a possible first dislike of the idea of ALL people being OKAY. It\u2019s a mind experiment \u2014 meant to clarify a way of thinking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lack of insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since many people think others are not OKAY \u2013 and vice versa \u2013 something must explain this in case all people are OKAY after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May an essential lack of insight into the human psyche lie at the cause of this? Might this be a humanistic responsibility<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not naively<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People can be damaged, morally injured<\/a> or otherwise. Being OKAY doesn\u2019t mean all can be trusted unconditionally. It just means they are OKAY in principle. They are coachable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have \u2018the good\u2019 inside. One can remain optimistic about each person \u2014 even with much realism for one\u2019s own sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People generally need to be treated with optimism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is most efficient to keep doing so even or especially if it takes effort. Of course, the optimism should be genuine, not fake. It’s a daily exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being OKAY is the base upon which to build. It is not necessarily the building itself. Even with a good base, the building still needs to be built. A mistake in this regard can be costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching for OKAYness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not believing in basic human OKAYness makes one stop the search. Of course, this is self-fulfilling. Non-believers are correct \u2014 as far as they are concerned. This way, they can even start believing in \u2018human badness.\u2019 That\u2019s a pity for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, believing in basic human OKAYness makes one keep searching for it, eventually finding it one way or another, at one level or another, leading to a profound sense of Compassion \u2014 no miracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about oneself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believing in the OKAYness of oneself is a huge asset \u2014 giving much inner strength<\/a> and thus being self-fulfilling in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a shame that people aren\u2019t induced more to do so. It makes many auto-deficient. I guess one crucial reason for this is a lack of leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YES! of Open Leadership<\/a> is about making it happen in the short term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No miracle cure \u2014 but almost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour deep belief has made you see again.\u201d [freely to Luke 18:42] To me, this alludes to the belief, not in any cure or concept or person, but in being OKAY and being found OKAY by \u2013 in this case \u2013 Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes one \u2018see\u2019 the goodness of all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from religion, we also scientifically know that expectation<\/a> is very powerful \u2014 frequently more potent than what \u2018concretely\u2018 happens meanwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it can and should be said that all people are finally OKAY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t we all need it very much?<\/p>\n
