Towards a new education

"We have not come on this earth to work like machines, but to live life fully trying to enrich our evolution. To reach this goal we urgently need the creation of a different educational institution from the present one, which allows the harmonization of the different components that distinguish the human being from other mammals. In this proposal men, but above all women, must be encouraged to discover again the sense and responsibility of life, to learn how to live in harmony without looking for power through war, religion, politics or propagating ignorance."

Kärleken slutar så sena

As shattered lives are put back together, cracks remain

"They knew what she was really up to, in part because she told them, in part because they’d known her since Andrew had first led them on the begging expeditions when they were all little kids. 

Everything she was doing now, in reaching out to Andrew, was designed not only to forgive the rapist but to shine a light for the children he had raped. Everything she did was fit to a purpose. As she had done for them all their lives, she gave them what they needed. When she saw they lacked food, she gave them eggs and milk. When she saw they lacked toys, she gave them trampolines and backyard swings. When she learned about the rapes, she sent men with guns to their door.

And now, when she saw that they lacked forgiveness she gave them a model of forgiveness, to drain anger out of their souls."

Livsviktiga behov

Fra Alice Miller's bok Bilder från en barndom

"För att kunna utveckla sig behöver barnet respekt och skydd från vuxna, som tar det på allvar, älskar det och uppriktigt hjälper det att finna sig till rätta."

Because I accept it as it is
The sunshine is shining
Because it is what it is"

John Fowles

Ill.: SonjaBunes 1990

What are we faced with in the nineteenth century? An age where woman was sacred; where you could buy a thirteen-year-old girl for a few pounds... if you wanted her for only an hour or two... where more churches were built than in the whole previous history of the country and where one in sixty houses in london was a brothel. Where it was universally maintained that women do not have orgasms; and yet every prostitute was taught to simulate them. Where there was an enormous progress and liberation in every other field of human activity; and nothing but tyranny in the most personal and fundamental.

Kindness

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies.
My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
