Helping others become even better versions of themselves
Once we realise that our happiness and joy in life is our responsibility and no one else’s, then we take out the burden on others and disappointment for ourselves.
All relationships are better without the expectations of others to fulfil our life for us and its resulting suffering and burden.
Make our own happiness and free ourselves and others.
Most education has, and is still, been all about preparing a workforce for the industrialised system, to be compliant and not question the rules, not about bettering society for everyone. The current education system is one of shaming us into the unattainable goal of perfection and actually preparing us for a world that will no longer exists as it is by the time most children have completed school.
What if the school curriculum was centred on respect, kindness, empathy, understand, love, worthiness and compassion? What if we were taught properly how to listen and then communicate with each other?
What if you taught meditation, spiritualism, and learnt about awareness, being in the moment, consciousness and acceptance?
What if we were taught about respecting nature, growing organic food, caring properly for animals and the environment? What if were educated in respecting and honouring our own bodies and looking after them?
What if school was soul, body and mind? Not a glorified memory test to be graded for employment.
I wonder if the world would become more kind, more empathetic, more compassionate, more understanding? Would we be more in the moment and more connected? Could we be more at peace within and to world around?
It’s possible and surely worth a try? After all what we have tried hasn’t gone all that well.
