WHEN THE MIND GOES TO OVERLOAD
The mind is a very
delicate and subtle organism. One problem with contemporary western education
is that we attempt to mold this mind by force. We actively encourage our
children and young adults to force, often useless and meaningless, information
into their very delicate and subtle minds. What we tend to overlook,
in our hectic pursuit of the perfect workforce, is to RESPECT the minds
of our children - and then we wonder why our children turn upon us, have
breakdowns, display disrespectful behaviour and are often violent and
aggressive. Why? Because WE have taught
them this and we have also OVERLOADED their subtle minds with a barrage
of information and the added insult of informing them that unless they
understand all this (which WE rarely do) then they face a life of poverty,
unemployment or meaningless, soul destroying jobs. And then we wonder
why they feel that this life is shit and not worth the effort and respect
that it calls for. Humanity needs to
learn to RESPECT the mind and not treat it like a indestructable garbage
can, that can soak up anything that is forced into it. We so often destroy,
or at least thwart, the natural intelligence of human beings in the pursuit
of intellectual knowledge. No wonder so many
minds get corrupted, burned out, exhausted or just malfunction. The damage is NOT
IRREVERSIBLE but a time of quiet, calm and rest is necessary.
