When parents do not provide a determined daily, rhythmic, nurturing standard/structure for their growing children, there is no discipline in place (no order) to develop a strong sense of belonging, thus eschewing a range of esteem, respect and confidence issues causing destruction to the children, the family and inevitably the wider community they are part of.
All the great indigenous tribes used shame when one of their own started doing harm but more importantly all members of the tribe took on the full responsibility for failing to see the problem arising and be conscious of nipping it in the bud before it blossomed. They ALL looked at themselves and said "It Was Our Fault", we were too distracted for whatever reason to notice the problem in its infancy and actually do something about it. The whole community would come together to learn from their mistakes and put in place the measures to stop it from happening again.
Tim Smith was let down "BIG-TIME" by the "supposed" community called The Parramatta Eels Football Club. Yes, we must all take full-responsibility for what we think, feel and do and here resides the real problem caused by many members of this football club community because not many of them took on the full responsibility of protecting Tim Smith, a young growing boy/man. They were too distracted to be conscious of how community members were thinking, feeling and acting which fertilised the negative/destructive influences that overtook Tim Smith.
Community is a team effort with everyone pulling together but this did not happen with Tim Smith (and others). A MAN does not fully mature to age 28 and all the members of this community above this age should have been conscious enough of the dark/destructive influences spreading amongst them and having the determination and wisdom to get rid of these dark influences forevermore.
Paul Osborne, Daniel Anderson (and others) are very good men with good hearts, who use their brains and they are now fixing the damage done to this football community, putting in place the measures that stop negative/destructive influences from sprouting again.
Community Immunity is far more important than the sport we enjoy. Lets support Paul, Daniel (and others) in recreating a great community (a tribe) that supports DO NO HARM. Community Immunity is a team effort with everyone taking full responsibility to rout out all forms of harm doing while providing the shields of immunity that will protect this club (tribe/community) from falling on to its knees again, ready to be beheaded.
We are all plants (brothers & sisters) in the community garden of life and what happens to ALL of us in this community is determined by how we ALL feel, think and do. Our community creates a Tim Smith, good or bad, successful or not, happy or depressed, etc etc. The attitudes of the children reflects the attitudes of the parents. The behaviour of members of this community reflects the collective attitudes of the whole Eels community. Garbage In Garbage Out - Love In Love Out.
Booooooo Casper
