Many times, the question arises whether we are on the right track or not. We want to examine our mental and emotional positions that can help us to calculate our progress, both self-progress and the progress of our society.
Life is the kind of garden that has patches of nettles, piles of rotting compost, weeds, and dead insects as well as charming trees , thriving vegetables and beautiful flowers 🫤🌱
Excellent topic and talk 🦜 😀!
Mass Communication and Madison Ave did much to program kids and adults starting in the 1950'60 s using the TV medium.
I used my allowance as a kid to read Mad Magazine at 25 cents cheap lol 😆! To find out what was really going on.
We are surrounded by beauty and goodness. Whether we choose to see or acknowledge it depends on our values.
I valued the young men who stayed with me 30 years ago. They were mostly refugees from wars in Central America. I could see their worth and I'm certain that most have lead good lives in Canada or elsewhere. I especially remember Mynor and Jermesy in this regards.
"O FRIEND! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold." is a famous Baha'i quote.
This isn't to be confused with toxic positivity. There are numerous Scriptures that speak to empathy and selflessness. But again... we choose what we see or acknowledge.
As a young gardener I had my favorite weeds. Even weeds gave me joy. My world was very small growing up. It has grown since then and I've seen my share of ugliness; but, yesterday I picked dandelions and put them in a used anise extract bottle with a sprig of sage: yellow, grey, green and brown, a bit of beauty by my door.
It is an important blog post. The blogger tries hard to understand our constantly transformative attitude.In our science, literature and cultural fields, we can observe the same kind of tendency that will make our lives charmless.
I think there was a psychological studied done with teenagers in a classroom around eye colour that speaks to exactly what you are saying and shows how easier it is to "programme" a group of people to hate/act differently to another group for something that they have no control over - likely not having brown eyes. It was fascinating.
Great entry. I think there is some programming, for lack of a better term, built into DNA. Culture creates further, as you said. I've often wondered if there isn't something else imbedded into DNA that stops some people from questioning while others are basically rebels against everything and change all that they can- never surrendering to fate.
Maybe one day science will be able to answer. Let's just hope scientists and people don't start tinkering in order to get the "perfect person" cause I have the fear they'd want the obedient ones and no rebels.
