Ep #131 - College is a wonderful opportunity to challenge your current way of thinking and feeling around your opinions, beliefs, and values. You do not have to give up anything in your pursuit of clarifications and further development of your personality - in fact, it is in the pursuit of growth you are able to increase your empathy and understanding of how others have created their opinions, beliefs, and values.
It seems the "cancel culture" has taken such a firm grip on our institutions that any conversation about the who, what, when, where, why, and how's each individual created their current way of thinking is barely a part of the conversation - and if it is a part of the conversation it is swept aside in favor of calling the person an IST or defining their behavior as an ISM.
People, institutions (like higher-education,) organizations, businesses, governments, etc., want to cancel others, or scream louder than them, in a vain attempt to squash or silence dissenting opinions, beliefs, and values.
The missed opportunities to explore one another and decipher how our minds created the views we have is destroying us as a culture, citizenry, and planet.
Am I sounding way overboard or have you noticed this too? When we shut someone down who's opinion of a social issue is different than ours, we do not change their mind, we do not gravitate them toward our thinking - we push them away, we isolate them, or worse...we magnetize them toward others with the same opinion and that actually gives them power. Power they would not have even searched for had they been given the chance to explain themselves.
The future of US, not the U-S but the plural US, is being determined today by our ability or inability to listen to someone else with an open-heart, rational thinking, and emotional intelligence.
It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.
Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.
Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.
