Therefore let our judgments withstand the passions of our time, and endear the admiration of our future.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 8, 2014 @ 8:11 pm Celebrate 5 Years of PlanetPOV – Join Our Donation and Membership Drive I am glad you are here gentle friend EXFANOFARIANA. Humanity has missed you. “Compassion. If we are to become angels.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 4, 2014 @ 4:31 pm I believe we should bring them, and all innocent beings, back gentle friend AdLib. “Death is terror. And we have never won a war against it. But I propose we can.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 3, 2014 @ 8:50 pm I am drowning gentle friend Kalima. I am so sorry, for all humanity. “There is no holiday for the suffering.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 3, 2014 @ 8:33 pm Happy Anniversary! I didn’t know I could donate or subscribe, but I’ve subscribed now. You are all doing an incredible job. I’m curious about the cofounders KQuark and Bito you mentioned. What happened to them? “Until the last voice of freedom was silenced. That’s how long they had to wait.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 10:42 pm The Shot Heard Round the World – Redux Gentle friend sillylittleme do not fear. They live it. Without recording or acknowledgment. I wish there were a game called “How many people can you help before you die”. And the winners would be everyone you saved. A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 29, 2014 @ 5:10 pm “Nothing is certain, except that humanity is good.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 29, 2014 @ 3:24 pm The Bubbling Cauldrons in Ferguson and NYC Gentle friend S-Man, you are a treasure of humanity. Please never abandon us. We would have one less conscience to celebrate. “Perhaps profit should be the least of our concern. And humanity the most.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On October 7, 2014 @ 8:28 pm An undeniable and compassionate truth gentle friend S-Man. Thank you. “The rich have food, shelter, education, and health care. The working and poor do not. Because we gave billionaires trillions. And the working and poor nothing. And that’s as complicated as it gets.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On October 7, 2014 @ 7:46 pm “A whisper of horror. A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On October 4, 2014 @ 4:35 pm Gentle friend monicaangela, thank you for your compassion, and the TED post. I hadn’t seen it, so I watched it in its entirety. And I’m sorry to say I was very disappointed in all the solutions proposed. Although all the speakers were compassionate and well spoken, they all seemed to have deviated from the basic question of how we get children to do better in school. Please don’t misunderstand me, the societal advancements they proposed are essential, especially equal education, but a fundamental problem will still remain. Kids, generally, don’t like school. So I will once again reveal how we can get most children to excel. It’s called “Project Based Education”. The world is a fantastic thing, with uncounted paths of interest and inquiry. We simply need to make learning interesting, for each individual student. For example, let’s say you had two 1st grade math students. One loved dolls, the other shining knights in armor. Both of them hated math. You would give the doll enthusiast partial instructions to build a doll dream house, and all the necessary materials. The student would be required, and driven, to figure out the missing instructions so they could complete the construction, which would require significant math. And after basic construction, bonuses could be offered for more advanced tasks. For example figuring out which floor would be able to support a Jacuzzi, with a real miniature Jacuzzi, and real water. Similarly you could give the knights in shining armor enthusiast partial instructions to build a castle, with all necessary materials, again requiring them to engage in significant math. And perhaps offer a bonus for figuring out how far they need to pull back a catapult to hit a target outside the castle walls. With a real miniature rubber band catapult. Of course you would also give students small rewards along the way as they complete milestones towards the completion of their projects. They could be anything from extra points to gold stars, children simply need acknowledgement, which for most is great encouragement. The result is that students will think they are playing, when in fact they are learning. Of course there are a plethora of interests to engage, but if we truly value education the extra cost is irrelevant. And the payoff, if any need one, will be content human beings, and greatly increased productivity and progress across all fields of knowledge, art, and philosophy. “Let us teach the children according to their own passions, not our own. This will, assuredly, nurture all intellect.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On October 1, 2014 @ 5:24 pm “The answer to Americas problems are simply solved. Provide free and equal education for all. From preschool to the highest levels of knowledge.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 29, 2014 @ 8:44 pm Gentle friend EXFANOFARIANA, I hope your brother would have approved. I am so sorry you lost him. “Compassion. If we are to become angels.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 29, 2014 @ 7:29 pm Thank you gentle friend KillgoreTrout. I couldn’t agree more. Especially about the silent war. Very well spoken. Thank you. “We could not reason for peace, for our children had been mercilessly slaughtered in war.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 29, 2014 @ 3:15 pm Thank you gentle friend Misterbadexample. Well spoken, and I agree completely. “Desperation. And desperate crimes. Always together.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 29, 2014 @ 3:05 pm “I cry silently, because as a child I had to be very quiet.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 5, 2014 @ 9:04 pm I’m trying to be as naked as you gentle friend Nirek. “They never gave me a plan. Just a purpose.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 29, 2014 @ 5:56 pm I’m sorry you didn’t have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of youth Michael Brown. I remember stealing wine, and a few cigars, from the local 7-11 when I was young. And learning over the years how wrong it was. But I was white, and police did not seek me out to blast multiple bullets into my body when I ran. “If it’s Gods will, why is your finger on the trigger?” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 29, 2014 @ 3:37 pm Living With What You Have Done . A well spoken truth gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. That is why I have always urged individuals to think for themselves. “How tragic that any human would think they needed any leader, other than themselves. And that once again, they believed that leader commanded them to kill.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 3, 2014 @ 8:04 pm I hope we already do that gentle friend Nirek. Defense is not offense. As your truth illustrates. “I did not fear the problems. I feared the plan.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 3, 2014 @ 7:56 pm Thank you so much for introducing this most fundamental, but ignored, flaw of war gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. How do we teach our children that murder is wrong, and then send them to war where they are taught that, just for a time, murder is right? “Let us teach the children according to their own passions, not our own. This will, assuredly, nurture all intellect.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 9:57 pm Live in peace gentle friend Nirek. That is your task. “I envy any life of contentment, and love, and truth.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 9:29 pm Indeed gentle friend Nirek. That’s why the Draft was ended. Too many children of the rich were suffering and dying. So the government devised a system that almost guaranteed only the middle class and poor would pay the ultimate price. While the rich danced on their graves. “And for the voiceless it was a march, to death.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 1, 2014 @ 7:08 pm This has left me sobbing. Gentle friend Nirek, it was not your fault. You had a choice with no just answer, kill or be killed. As did the man you opposed. And as NirekJunior says, look at all the good that has come from your existence. Guilt lies with those who placed both of you there, in a situation where humanity could simply not prevail. The murder of Michael Brown, as you said, is a completely different circumstance. The officer clearly had a choice, to contain his anger, or kill. “My saunter began in the garden, just a few misplaced parts there. I couldn’t really tell what they were, so I just walked through the broken door to the front room. And there it was. That head. As a misplaced ornament upon the armchair. And then looking down I saw the infants body and my knees slightly buckled. I had seen much horror, the body parts of children were a daily chore, but these bodies were just a little too intact. I could tell where the neck used to attach both. And since then I cannot be human. For I had fired the rocket that destroyed them. For the good of all humankind.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 1, 2014 @ 7:00 pm No one saw. “I still hold her memory in my hands. We play, pretend, just sit, and sometimes just laugh, and sometimes just cry.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On August 29, 2014 @ 3:28 pm Gentle friend monicaangela, it’s not me. You are the humanity so many seek. Never forget. “We always count upon humanity, which you represent so well.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 9:46 pm I like the way you think gentle friend Nirek. I agree. “If we were to need money for war it would be given.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 3:16 pm Well spoken gentle friend monicaangela. I agree completely. The first ideal that must be emphasized and upheld in education is our common humanity. “One of the greatest tragedies of our existence is that we are a people united by so many common goals, but divided by so many uncommon beliefs. I believe that our goals are more important. We all want to be free. We all want our children to be healthy and happy. Most all of us want peace so long as our own rights are protected. These are the ideals that we can all strive for together. These are the threads of humanity that cannot be torn apart.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 2, 2014 @ 3:13 pm Well spoken gentle friend monicaangela. I believe the answer to all of your observations is equality. “The answer to Americas problems are simply solved. Provide free and equal education for all. From preschool to the highest levels of knowledge.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On September 1, 2014 @ 7:15 pm Livable Wage As A Minimum wage. A Cure All, No, But It Would Help A Hell Of A Lot. I agree gentle friend Nirek. And thank you for your compassion. “Imagine if all who worked were paid a living wage. Arguments of injustice would vanish.” » Posted By SearingTruth On August 17, 2014 @ 1:36 pmComments Posted By SearingTruth
