Soul dump for new forum of Awesomeness

Perceive, analyze, express.

Find people who can but aren't and help them see honestly what they could.

Forum for sharing, rejoicing together, encouraging, community exploration

What do people hunger for that is not currently being fed to them through social media and existing communities?

What are people hungering for?

Provide forum where we can invite people to feel okay being what they most love about themselves.

"I just love this!" — How many of us do what we do because we LOVE it versus our being addicted to the socially accepted outcomes the baaa-havior produces?

Freedom from social media.

This can NOT be about self-validation, but the experience of our humanity.

No name.

Do you know that what you think is the answer to your problem is actually the root of the problem?

More question:

Vision: Share awesomeness, intimate connection with people

Activitator.

Patron saint: Dr. Bronner

Starting activities: presentations, discussion, music, reading, discussion, movies, discussion.

***Keeping rants to a minimum will go far in preserving the sense of vision that we are going for. Plenty of rants on social media.

"I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books , music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps — what more can the heart of a man desire?"

Social media

Our problem is that we don't see others as people, but as problems, obstructions, nuisances, and barriers to our own happiness.

When we get to the point where we honor the impressions we get to reach out to one another, we will see that the world transformed for us whilst we wished for it unawares.

The only reality you have is PEOPLE and their expectations

Give your life to making life rich for others and you will find yourself surrounded by wealth.

Perceived options:

1. Trust that things as they are is as they should be — we have no choice to change things.

2. Maybe some external circumstance or person will come in and force change us from the outside.

Reality:

It is possible that no change will ever be instituted upon us. It is possible that the earth will never quake and burn and destroy a third of all life upon it. It is possible that no foreign army will ever invade our nation and institute a martial law of terror as punishment for the immorality of its people. 

The purpose of childhood education is not college

The purpose of childhood education is not to prepare a child for college.

Why? Because the purpose of college is what? To land a good job somewhere. To make money.

If A is for B and B is for C, then the purpose of a primary education is to make money.

Give me a break.

The only thing that matters to a sane human being (and all children are sane) is meaning.

And the correlative:

Having no plan doesn't negate a thing's value.

Grasping at straws of meaning.

Having a plan does not legitimize what you are doing.
