As living under the paradoxical need to fulfill two mutually supporting and mutually opposing evolutionary psychological imperatives.  There are two foundational imperatives that are hard-wired into our psyche. Only two. They are both born of the primary need to survive.  All of our motivations, ambitions, and drives can be traced back to the ultimate need to survive, but survival requires fulfilling two opposing...]]></description><link>https://www.solvingforsafety.com/post/human-paradox</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa2fbf847f06cdd95c7045</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2026 20:20:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_37221397dae542609c272b05e25ed317~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Heidi Rocke</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Causality: A Key to Peace]]></title><description><![CDATA[Causality: A Key to Peace The key to making sense of anything is understanding causality. Any condition or behavior you experience is a product of the circumstances that shaped it. Rational, logical and blameless.  This applies to anything in the universe. Just a fact. It applies to the body, the behavior and psyche. It applies to our unconscious bias, our affections and our intolerances. It applies to more complex organisms such as whole societies, cultures and sub-cultures, religions,...]]></description><link>https://www.solvingforsafety.com/post/causality-a-key-to-peace</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa2fbf847f06cdd95c7044</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2026 20:20:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_578d25f913e04d1c950382257c65310f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Heidi Rocke</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Use Your Words!]]></title><description><![CDATA[I just had a question from someone asking me about a communication issue she was having with a superior at work. This woman was her teacher as she is in a long-term training program. In this particular training program communication is a focus. How to communicate “correctly” “kindly” so as not to step on or interfere with another person’s creation of their space. The question was, this superior, this teacher seemed to be repeatedly performing a gesture: rolling her shoulders back, while...]]></description><link>https://www.solvingforsafety.com/post/use-your-words</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa2fbf847f06cdd95c7051</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Aug 2025 15:29:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_09b27317d0274085b3115a1b22f1a30f~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Heidi Rocke</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taste the Ice Cream!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Which brings me to Mindfulness. Being Present. Events are measured in time and space: when did it happen, how fast or how slow, where did it happen, how big or how small? But there is a third measure of an event that we often overlook and that carries much more weight on the scale of importance: Appreciation. The appreciation of an event varies directly with how present or mindful we are during the event. In our modern world of MORE, we find ourselves feeling empty and forever seeking more of...]]></description><link>https://www.solvingforsafety.com/post/taste-the-ice-cream</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa2fbf847f06cdd95c704b</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Aug 2025 13:33:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_10e48c9a211c490d903c1a4f1ab79539~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Heidi Rocke</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ball of Clay]]></title><description><![CDATA[Ball of Clay We come into this world as unmolded clay: raw, unformed, impressionable, yet whole and complete. As we encounter the formative elements on our journey, we take impressions. Some are just superficial and soon reshaped by the next experience. Some are deep and lasting; cauterized by trauma, emotion, or repetition. These stay with us.  If we are clay then our lives, this existence, the experiences and environments we move through, is also a fluid medium, taking shape from us as we...]]></description><link>https://www.solvingforsafety.com/post/ball-of-clay</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fa2fbf847f06cdd95c7046</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Aug 2025 09:38:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_f15587ba91144b4499dd891e4bcd0237~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Heidi Rocke</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a Lava Lamp]]></title><description><![CDATA[Picture a Lava Lamp. Maybe it's one of the orange and red ones. The orange goo, thick and viscous. Suspended within a thinner red fluid. The heat from the electric element begins to warm the interior.  With the growing heat, the orange goo rises, expands, and begins to move. The red liquid yields. Orange Bubbles break off and re-form. Red liquid fills the gaps, defining the space, and then yields again.

I have heard recently that it is frowned upon to indicate to a child, or anyone for that matter, that they are wrong. That to be told you are wrong is defeating, demoralizing. As such, the answer is therefore never to tell someone that they are wrong.  I disagree. I understand what this approach is trying to get at, but I think they have missed the mark. The problem is not the fact of being wrong, it is the assumption that being wrong is bad.
