Because my work with hair pulling students involves hearing stories of those suffering with compulsive behaviors, I often see patterns from early family climates and our culture as a whole. And that gets me to thinking about all the pain in the world and how to solve it. Occasionally, I come up with an unusually creative idea. Here’s one I’d like to share with you.

What if, beginning tomorrow and from that day on, each and every child popped out of the womb with the words “Worth Protecting” on their foreheads? And what if as that child grew the words grew crisp and clear along with him. Each child would look at the next and remember that another person is worth protecting. Each adult would look at each child and every other adult and know that we are all worth protecting. Until the day when the entire world population would live in the core fundamental conviction that “We are ALL worth protecting!”

Think about it.
