We suffer for having been brought up with the ideology that we mustn't rock the boat, upset the neighbours, or be "opinionated."I My father's very English behavioural expectations of we children meant we were never allowed to play in our large and beautiful garden at a weekend. We were told we must respect the need for quiet, and contemplative time for our Jewish neighbours on one side of us on Friday after school and all day Saturday and our Quaker neighbours on the other side all day Sunday. To not do so would be rude and unsuspecting of the needs of others. They were both lovely families and great friends to us. I'm sure they both wondered why we never played outside and would have been upset to know the restriction was because of what our father thought would inconvenience or disturb them. But there it was, the very British, polite and accepting desire to not upset anything or anybody. It has died away to some extent, but we are still inclined to be put second, to know it is hsppening, to look to those in power and see that they accept, created or are encouraging it and then, while perhaps grumbling, put up with it ourselves until it is almost too late. The question with our current situation is, when does the tipping point come and how should we respond?
Those are incredibly insightful comments that really get to the heart of the issue. An excellent example of something in our culture that in essence was a good intention but in the long term has created a weakness in the British psych. In the coming series that I will be sharing on Sundays I will cover the Scripture "turn the other cheek" and endeavor to show how this has been taken completely out of context within our very British form of Christianity. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks, David; another powerful talk. By the way, I like the sub-headings (the yellow caps) - they serve nicely to divide your talk in to paragraphs and bullet--points. God bless.
We are in a similar situation to the Roman empire was shortly before it fell. Too many people let in that didn’t have an affinity with Rome and Roman ways.
God bless YOU too.
It's called respect for each other.
You're absolutely right, David. Badger is gorgeous!
Thank you. Yes, will try and give him more camera angle next time!! LOL.

Thank you for that. Everything you say is correct. Just to say also that I like the yellow captions because it emphasises the point you're making.
Appreciated. Yes the bold type may not tick everyone's box but I think it helps connect with the main points. Thank you for your imput.😃😃😃

Good talk, don't mind the subs but don't like the big yellow caps much. Badger struggling not to nod off but rallied at the end !
OK, thank you for that imput, will bear that in mind. Yes, will try and get a better view of Badger next time.
