Safe Spaces That Builds People Stronger

In modern culture, the term safe space refers to places created for marginalized individuals. A scary concept because it relies on the non-marginalized to provide for those perceived as marginalized. Think about that carefully.

When you create a safe space that makes people stronger, you don't build it for someone else. You build that space for yourself, your community. While a controversial topic, it is an application of strategic relations.

A safe space is both mental and physical. While this demonstration is specific to my experiences, it provides an example of applying your own experiences. Take back your power to change your world and increase your influence.

The bigger truth is that you can do a lot to elevate your position in society. You won't need someone to create space for you when you understand how to cultivate your own space.

Worse, this perversion of having to create space for others makes room for harmful activities. Protecting the marginalized does nothing to improve their situation.

And how is it your place to define another person's marginalization in the first place? There are some things about popular thinking I'll never understand. Focus your mind on what is right.

You don't need to tear down one space to make another. There is enough room for everyone, every thought, and belief. Cultivate your mind to the fact orientation rather than emotions. Understand the power of socialization and dialog.
