Came across an interesting concept. What if we taught that love is emptiness? Empty of judgment. Empty of fear, etc. Just allowing the natural joy within us to embrace all those around us?
Came across a quote from Ghandi that's perfect to teach sharing to children: "There is enough in the world for everyone's need; there is not enough for everyone's greed."
A quick look at society today seems to reveal that we are not very good at loving one another. Shouldn't love be at the top of school curriculum? Do we even know what such a thing would look like? Should we really be surprised things are as they are in the world today?
I’m a fixer. I love to fix things.
But what I’m realizing about leadership is that it’s not about fixing things.
It’s about creating the environment where people aren’t afraid to make the mistakes.
If education is done properly, children will be so passionate about their learning that they will want to go home and learn more. If made optional and attached to the real world, the results are a wonder to behold.
@ModestTeacher I taught ancient civilizations using simulations...becoming ancient Greeks and Egyptians the kids took off with excitement...they were doing more teaching than I was...much of it sharing stories... especially mythology
@melanie_korach Very true, but the problem is that when a candidate comes along who bases her campaign on love, she is mocked and dismissed as a ditzy flower child...see Marianne Williamson
