First of all, thanks for writing this awesome post.
The second, I like to read what older, smart generations think about this world.
Maybe that's why I feel we are friends with @bobaphet even if we never met. Soul friends I may say. ☺
The third and that's my favorite number, I don't know even why. Teaching is great. The best thing I like about it, is to learn from teaching. That's the best way of learning !
Fourth, thinking for ourselves gave us an opportunity to find the real truth about things and not to just listen to one part or another.
Fifth, shaming for thinking is the worst way of discrimination. We have to understand others and why they think like that and show them the right way in our opinion. If they want to do that, it's ok. If not, let them keep thinking like that. It's their life, and they can do with it what ever they want. We shouldn't waste time and just move to spreading our ideas to others.
And finally. I think that we are all children. Older ones, I would say. Maybe those things that weren't allowed by our parents, society and governments, push us to not allow others to be themselves. It's kind of doing to others the things we can't do to parents, society and governments. Like finding the weakest to show them how to live.
I'm 36 by the way. I don't know if my ideas are older or I just have that much experience in life and with people. ☺
Thanks a lot for the inspiration.
Appreciate the thoughtful comment @clixmoney, and shanks for sharing your perspective and experience.
Teaching definitely is a good way to learn, as well... the interaction between student and teacher is a great opportunity for learning in both directions.
