Wars and hatred can leave us Extremely Sad!


Extremely Sad about two wars+ going on at the same time and especially about the 5000+ mostly innocent children and people who have been killed in Gaza/Israel all because of Hamas and hate although Israels extreme policies haven’t helped.

Extremely Sad because of the 18 killed in Maine and then the killer committing suicide.

Extremely Sad because of the 12 killed so far on this Halloween weekend with I'm almost sure more to come. 

Extremely Sad for are we nurturing our young children, with inner hygiene daily on the importance of being a child of Joy, Peace, and Love or are reading, writing and math more important?

Modern pedagogy, however, by its own admission, has a strong emphasis on Job Preparation and Earning Potential. This is markedly different from classical education in which the goal is to help students thrive not just at work but in the very art of living by cultivating a life of flourishing through personal excellence.

Statement: The Real National Emergency Is the Continued Hatred and Scapegoating of Migrants There is currently a national emergency in the US, but it is not at the border…it is in the executive order that has just come from the White House. Through this executive order desperate women, children, and men fleeing violence, fear, and hatred in their home countries continue to be demonized and slandered by the president. This galvanization of fear among U.S. citizens and the allocation of billions of dollars to build a wall to keep out people who have been forced to migrate to the U.S. is as spiritually toxic as it is irrational. Eight billion dollars could contribute greatly to programs of aid and creating systems that ensure the health and well-being of U.S. citizens as well as migrants. Clearly, the well-being of humans is not the priority of President Trump as he continues to scapegoat migrants and feed the narrative that immigrants are the reason for any political or economic
