Integral friend

Men vind veel prachtigs in een blog met een diep warme en stralende kleur die ik gauw aan m'n links hiernaast ga toevoegen [en er nu staat]:



"What is worth having on this planet is an intelligence that is complementary with innocence, that does not destroy innocence.Can we not introduce such values in our education system that every child learns to be friendly? In schools and colleges, if you ask the children how many friends they have, they'll count on their fingers — one, two, three, four, five... Not more than that. I have a question for children: if you don't know how to be friendly with the 40-50 children present in your classroom over a period of a year, how will you ever become friendly with the 6 billion people on the planet?The basic tendency to make friends has been lost somewhere in the pursuit of selfish education. As a part of their education, children should be encouraged to make one new friend a day.Like the protons and neutrons are in the centre of the atom while the negative charged particles are only on the circumference, similarly in human consciousness, mind and life also, all the negativities are in the periphery. At the core of every being, there is positivity and virtue. And if we are successful in finding the means to nourish this virtue, we will see the youth come up radiant and endowed with human values."
