Human Beings Are Creatures Of Honesty

"Human Beings Are Creatures Of Honesty.
When Human Beings Feel Forced To Lie to Survive,
They Become Perverted And Twisted And Feel Terrible Inside,
Because They Are Not Being Allowed To Be Human."

If I Spent My Whole Life Working At Wal-Mart, Not Growing, Not Learning, Not Living, My Society Would Leave Me There To Rot

"If I Spent My Whole Life Working At Wal-Mart, Not Growing, Not Learning, Not Living,
My Society Would Leave Me There To Rot.
That...Makes Me Quite Angry And Sad.
That A Person Can Be Born Into The Human Species,
And One's Fellow Human Beings Will Leave A Person To Waste Away In A Pointless Existence,
Without Intervening,
Without Stepping-In And Preventing A Person From Losing Their Life To Meaninglessness.
A Social Species,
A Gregarious Species,
A Species That Depends On Each Other For Mutual Survival And Happiness,
Would Leave One Of Their Own,
A Brother,
A Sister,
A Son,
A Daughter,
To Waste Away In A Life With Nothing Going For It...
...Such An Existence Is A Curse,
Not A Blessing."


All it would take,
is others,
fellow human beings,
welcoming the person with open arms,
telling them they are welcome into the human family,
and they have all the support in the world for having a good life.

People Are Puzzle Pieces. The Better A Society Gets At Placing Puzzle Pieces...

"People Are Puzzle Pieces.
The Better A Society Gets At Placing Puzzle Pieces Where They Fit Best,
The Healthier A Society Becomes."

If We Can Teach Everyone To Read, We Can Teach Everyone Absolutely Everything

"If We Can Teach Everyone To Read,
We Can Teach Everyone Absolutely Everything."


If our society can insure that everyone knows how to read,
our society has the capacity to insure that everyone can learn absolutely anything.

====

Give an adult any of their old high school tests and see if they can pass.
Almost guaranteed they cannot.
Did they learn anything in high school?
No.
Do nearly all adults have the same skill-set as a 5th or 6th grader?
Yes.
So what was the purpose of the additional 6 years of schooling?
Make-work.
Busywork.
Sham-education.

Unacceptable.
Absolutely unacceptable.

Life is short.
There is so much to learn.
Children trust adults to know what they're doing.
Wasting children's childhood in such a manner is unacceptable.

We must develop a better way to teach,
and the SECRET lies in HOW we are able to insure that everyone learns how to read.
