A friend asked me to donate money to a project
that builds schools for children in an economically depressed country.
I
thought for a while and asked: "Will those schools show our children the
beauty of cooperation and the dangers of
unconscionable competition? Compassion instead of reckless
consumption"? Will they teach our children how killing is not just a
matter of taking a life but also of stealing an opportunity to live with dignity? Will they live conscious that each human being ultimately
impacts everyone and everything else?
Our world is the way it is now largely because of what and how we've been taught.

I think a paradigm shifted is needed. And your blog could be a manifesto for that change.
ReplyDeleteWell stated. Seems like our "free choice" is directed by others from an early age, be it prejudice, religion...you name it, from parents to teachers. Life experiences seem to be the best teachers. Good blog, Ariel !
