Using data, common sense and having a heart can transform the fire service. First in a series
Will,
This is music to my ears.
What a powerful story of great leadership!
Robert Isbell is a man on a mission.
This is truly what it takes to change the world.
He is DOING it.
Prevention IS The Solution.
It is the solution on all levels of life.
Through insight and effective targeted action,
most of the problems that cause suffering and destruction
CAN be prevented.
You have shared these powerful ideas with us here
and given us a deeply inspiring example.
A loving servant leader in ACTION
tending his flock.
As for the world,
the move from 2.0 to 3.0 in all fields
is our next revolution.
A wonderful, liberating and life-giving revolution
just as important as the victory of democracy.
To reach level 3.0 we must always seek
to address the CAUSE of the problem,
as you have been doing all along in your essays here,
for that is the only path to long term prevention.
To offer an illustration from the field of psychology:
until we understand the CAUSE of school shootings
we will be unable to prevent them.
Yes, we can REDUCE them via our efforts on gun control,
but the most powerful key will come
when we are able to grasp what has been going on
in the mind of the shooter
that has set him on the path toward murder/suicide
and we find ways to prevent,
or detect and alter,
that state of mind.
Thanks, Dr. Deb! Prevention really is key to improving so many things in our world.
