The school system

Todays article will be about our school system and the negative impact it has on us. At least on some people.

My mum told me today on how the kids in school where she works aren't allowed to wear caps and how she feels that she can't justify why they can't when she gets asked.

It is a great example on how the school system is a system built to domesticate us that I believe once was good for some but is now not conducive anymore.

From the perspective of the "domesticated" i.e. most adults. They are only alive to a 20%. They've been so domesticated over a lifetime. They are following scripts these days. Someone on a high level decided that caps shouldn't be allowed in school. The rule has no meaning. No more meaning than to teach children to obey and follow rules. There's no reason to it. The only one would be that a child looks like someone with attitude with a cap on and that is frightening to adults. Adults don't want to be frightened.

You make a rule on the highest level and then you have all your servants enforce these rules. No one can make anything about it because it's orders from up-stairs.

From the kids perspective: The kid is really happy, running around, screaming and finding out things. Then someone tells him to take his cap off. He gets confused when no one can answer his question about why he's not allowed to wear his cool cap on. He doesn't want to mess up his happy mood and aliveness by having someone being angry at him. He takes his cap off and becomes a bit defensive and feels a bit down. Just a bit more dead.

Next time he's told something, he's much more likely to obey "out of habit". Putting in rules just to have people obey domesticates them and kills their spirit. After 20 or so years most spirits are now so crippled and angry that they take it out on the younger generations. Killing their spirits as well.

If we would enforce these rules with love instead of power there wouldn't be a problem. The thing is that we do it with force all the time. When you do things with love instead of with force your outcome is so much better. Think of a dog that's been battered in love vs. a dog who's been raised with punches and anger, the poor dog is always so anxious that he can hardly stand on four legs and barks like a madman at everything. The dog that's been battered in love is the worlds most happiest and loyal dog.

So which way are kids treated in school?

That's an important question.

The tricky thing is that you can't enforce a rule for teachers that says "treat children with love and respect". It stems from how much love these teachers or parents have inside themselves. We got to have compassion for these teachers and parents for they themselves have been punched and bullied so much so that the love they have inside of themselves is so small if even recognisable. They are suffering and their dysfunctional minds are now oppressing others. Blaming them would be the equivalent to blame a cactus for not speaking back when you're trying to hold a conversation with it.

I believe love is the only thing that will change this world. Just look at the craziness that Jesus, Gandhi and Mandela managed to accomplish. That was not with force, that was with love. Everyone has love in themselves, in some it's tiny like a few atoms and in others the love is very strong. For example Gandhi who elevated a whole country to achieve an incredible positive change for so many.
