How do we teach? (A)

   In another article "why do they know that?" I talk about how sometime people got to know some things. And how different point of view teach us the same thing. On this article I would like to focus on how do we learn. We all know the important and the value of a teacher. In fact every occupation was taught by a teacher. The more educated a society is, the more advanced they are. Education is a form of creating a society civilized.

   For those of you who do not know Malala Yousafzai. She is a Muslim, Hindu girl who wanted nothing but to learn and educate herself. But as you would know, the majority of the Muslim community do not believe that female should be educated. It is so much that she wanted to learn, that a radical Muslim shot her in the head. But because she is a strong soul. She pulled through and survive. Today she is a strong Muslim female activists that is pushing toward giving every Muslim girl the opportunity of an education. While many Muslim female risk their life to go to school to get educated. Many people in different country truly take for granted the idea of going to school.

  But don't think that a teacher is the only source of education. A parent also play an important role in a child educational development. They will be teaching the child not only what they known but also the personal life experience. Given the child the opportunity to learn the different between right and wrong, between ethics and unethical, between moral and immoral. Although a child learn in school in what I called the mechanical learning. But what the shower would learn at home will be them with deeper educational value. For it was set the rules and value for each how to live in a civilized society thing. For it will determine whether when he grow up, that he may develop a chemical that might kill thousands of people. Or develop a medicine that can cure thousands of people.
But don't get me wrong. For both Avenue is as important as the other one. No child should be limits to his maximum potential. But at the same time every child learn and develop different from others.

                                       ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


   As I have just shown you two avenue sources in which a child to learn from. Now come to the part in which I intended for this article. And that is how do we teach. I will not get into the area in which the Institute of a schoolteacher get their skills. They are already University or College in which an individual can become a schoolteacher. But the area that I wish to talk about is the role of the parent teaching their children. It is true that parent get some of their education skills from their own parent. And then pass it on to their children. But they also use their life experience from their mistake and their achievement. And also pass it on to their children.
Sometime they are some parent that buy books to help them better understand child behavior, and how they can teach them about many issues. I believe that it's not a bad idea. For any parent to obtain any tools to further develop their skills in helping a child development is by all means very helpful. But one thing that has never failed in learning how to teach any child. It simply by beginning to talk to their children.

People always believe that listening is a form of learning. But also talking and sharing your views and opinion is a form of learning also. When you are talking to your child and teaching down some life experience that you have had. You will discover new ideas of how to better show your child what you're trying to express. You will develop skills like metaphor to better shown a picture of what you trying to same. You know what I mean, like the birds and the bees metaphor. It will probably shown every day life situation to bring about the point of view. It really doesn't require to be a scientist or a psychiatrist to teach your child. All it takes is a few moment of your time to sit down and have a conversation. Your shower would learn the skill of communication. Instead of your showered asking questions and getting answer from other stranger. It is better for you shall develop communication with their parent. And remember, don't worry if you do not have all of the answer. It is probably very likely that other one have either.

On a personal note I don't think that "common core" will be of benefits in a group of children or even as an individual. I believe that a shower would be better off by letting teacher work as they see it shower development. And also parent been able to have control what is appropriate for this shot.

Before leaving any common always take a look at the important note to your right.

Bless you all and be well.

A riddle to think about. (AA)

   Good day everyone. This is the answer for "a riddle to think about. (A)". Although many of you may have a different answer. The riddle may be expressed with different answer. But it does not necessarily mean that you are wrong. And I did not make this riddle to make it about right or wrong. But the answer I AM going to give you is specific for this riddle at this particular time.

[My philosophy-truth.]

   I would like to begin by saying that we are living in a very unique time of humanity. The form of thinking and expression has changed dramatically. As humanity has always look for answer to understand every situation that we encounter in our lives. Now with so many distortion in the society across the world. Humanity is desperately seeking for answer. So society is being expose to new ways of thinking and expressing that doesn't coexist with conservative or traditional thinking. They believe, by doing this they will find a better way of dealing with the unbalance occurring in our life. And the fact of the matter that this is creating more problem on top of the problem.

What I'm trying to say that humanity as a collective is being tested. As I mentioned before in the riddle that the tens souls that came to earth have to achieve one of these attribute. Or principal at some time it is called.


1. Answer
2. Cleverness
3. Understanding
4. Kindness or good deed
5. Strength
6. Splendor
7. Eternity
8. Glory
9. Establishing
10. Divine presence


   Each of these attribute has to be achieve. Some of these attribute you may have already achieved and some of these you need to complete it. Before you judge yourself and grade yourself on which of these attribute you have already achieved. Do not jump to the conclusion that you no longer need to focus on those particular attribute. When you think you may have achieve a particular attribute, you may probably not be aware that you still are a long way from completing that particular attribute. Just disregard that you may think you have fulfilled an attribute, and continue to learn to perfect each attribute.
Why these particular attribute or principles you need to achieve. And why not add other different kind of attribute. It is too long to explain, and let us just for the sake of argument that these are the particular attribute that you need to achieve. I will explain these principle. In another time.

Each of these attribute will help us to disengage with the many things that attached to this physical world. For the end nothing of this world is forever. In fact, not even the sun will be forever. But one thing is for ever and that is your soul. If you are an individual who have study from the many schools and philosophy, you would notice that all have something in particular in comment. They all talk about the one source. Meaning that they all mention that we as an individual come from one source.
If you have a scientific point of view, you would say that we came from the original matter before the Big Bang. If you have a religious point of view, you will say that we came from the original creator or the original 1st thought of the creator. What ever point of view you may have. I know for sure that you would have a philosophy of some source that everything came from one particular source. Each of these attribute that you need to achieve will help you to disengage with your true self. This is in order to fuze together with the original source. We were no longer consider ourselves as individual, but part of the original source. Just like the cells in your body. Although they function in take care of themselves as individual, they are part of a greater organism.

When we talk about ourselves. We will classified ourselves as "I am". But there is a philosophy that goes beyond an individual. And we should classified ourselves as "I AM". This is where the other part of the riddle comes in . When I said "at the end of time. Only one would leave with the brightness of the sun. And yet there was no soul that was left behind". At the end of time could mean that one lifetime of the individual or one lifetime of the earth. Which would probably mean many lifetime or as some may recognize it as reincarnation. Although many people may think that the concept of reincarnation is a Hindu or Buddhist philosophy. And that it is not true. For in many culture and religion it is basically a universal philosophy. But without getting into too much argument of reincarnation. Let us just say that I'm talking about one lifetime. If you manage to achieve all 10 attribute. You will probably find yourself not looking as an individual, but as a collective. When the time comes when all 10 souls disengage themselves as individual and become onto one great soul or to the one source. Whether it be 10 souls or Hundred souls or even a Million souls. And that is why that one soul the left the earth with the brightness of the sun. Because it is a collective of all the souls joining to be one great soul.


[Answer to the riddle.]

   So the answer is that all souls at the end of time joined to be one great soul when they have achieve all attribute..

And yet there was no soul that was left behind.
Where did they go?

*****************************************************


Here is the riddle to think about. What happened that at the end only one was left and is brighter than the sun? The answer is simple. Although they are many interpretation, at the end there is only one answer. They are many school of philosophy and philosophical that teach this. At the end of 7 days. I will give the answer. It will be my philosophy truth. Meaning you will see it as a philosophy, but it is my truth.

Is 100% all natural good for you? (A)

   Hi there and welcome. On this article I would like to talk about on the subject that people are always trying to improve on. And that is trying to do things that are as natural as possible. Like for instant the food we eat, the clothing we were, the items we have and other things that are part of our environment. Some of the things that we tried to avoid are like artificial flavor, artificial coloring, synthetic, imitation and so on. You got the idea. And basically, there's nothing wrong with that. But like everything that we do. Sometime they are those who go to the extreme. You might call them radical. I myself try to live as natural as possible, and always thinking how I might affect the environment. But thank goodness for some good common sense and a good foundation while growing up. Lucky for me I do not fall into the extreme category. I believe everything in life has to be done in a balanced and moderate.
   Sometime people are trying so hard to live as natural as possible. That they almost put themselves in a position that they live like caveman. We are living in a 21st-century. And we have advanced so much not only in technology, but a new product that make our life more natural, but also help the environment. But those who live on the extreme have the mentality that anything that is man-made or manufactured is consider not natural. So they've reject it without 1st seeing a bigger picture. Some things that are man-made product does benefit not only our life, but the environment.

   This is where it come to the point of this article. On this subject, I will talk about in regarding to our clothing. Those who like to live 100% natural always consider that wearing clothing that are 100% cotton is better and natural. But that is not completely true, and this is why. On the top you will see that I put a collection of photo. I will give you some idea on how we begin to grow cotton and go to many process before it reached to your local store. You will see how much energy we waste and how much chemical is exposed to the environment. You will see that is not completely 100% natural.
   Let us begin on the top on photograph (1). 1st we need a tractor that runs on gasoline to begin the farming of preparing the ground and planting the seed. Now in photograph (2) , you will see that the plant are growing with the help of watering irrigation. And this require whether an electric or gas pump. This will be a process of many months for the plant to be fully grown. Now in the photograph (3) you we see a man spraying pesticides to protect the plant from insect and disease. This will be a process, whether by manually spraying or a truck or airplane spraying the field. Although pesticides protect the health of the plant from insect and disease. It does have some negative affect for the environment. Next we see on photograph (4) a farming tractor, run by gasoline harvesting the cotton. Next photograph (5) the cotton is place another truck run by gasoline, to transport the cotton to a cotton factory for processing. Although I do not put a photograph of the cotton factory. The process for the cotton go through, a machine that will separate the cotton from unwanted waste like leaves and twigs. Then the cotton is taken to a big washing machine in which they were add bleach to give the cotton that white look, we all know. All of this process go to machinery that runs on electricity. Now in photograph (6) you will see the final result after processing. A machine will collect the cotton and weave the cotton so the cotton fiber will be stretched in one direction and turn into yarn like. These are placed in large barrel to be shipped on another truck run by gasoline. It is shipped to another factory in which they will make thread to customer specification. Now in photograph (7) this is the final result after the factory that run their machinery by electricity, making thread and putting them into spool. Now the spool are shipped on truck run by gasoline to another factory that makes fabric. Now in photograph number (8) the fabric is delivered by truck run on gasoline, to a factory that makes white T-shirt. This factory use sewing machine that runs on electricity. Final on the photograph (9) the white T-shirt are delivered by truck the runs on gasoline, to retail stores across the country.
    Of course, this is some idea of the process. I probably left some details out depending on different manufacture processing. But you get some ideas. But based on the information I gave you, you would notice that a great deal of energy use to make this simple white T-shirt was gasoline. There was a lot of gasoline wasted just so we can have this white T-shirt. There was also a lot of electricity used to make this T-shirt. Also another waste of energy used to make this product. Also, you would notice a lot of chemical use in the process. By pesticides and bleach. These 2 will be exposed to the environment.Remember those who like to live 100% natural preferred to where 100% cotton.

 


   By now, let's take a look at the new man-made product called polyester. Although this product require 2 different kind of chemical that are dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. Both unknown to be a form of polymer, the kind of plastic. Although both may be toxics, but once they are mixed together and stabilize they will become a thin thread to make polyester fabric. Below I added some link so you can see more detail on the product polyester.


 http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Polyester.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester

http://www.engr.utk.edu/mse/Textiles/Polyester%20fiber.htm



   Even though polyester may not be all national. At the end result. It is far more better than 100% cotton. Let me explain, 1st of all, based on the photograph above, it will eliminate the process (1) through (6). By eliminating those process. We save tons in gasoline and prevent exposing the environment of pesticides and beach. Because if you see the link above, you would notice that to make polyester it goes from mixing the 2 chemical and then turning them into thread. Another benefit to polyester versus cotton is in the process, when washing your clothing. Your body release national sweat and body order. The cotton absorbed this more into the fiber then it would be of a polyester fiber. Meaning it would require more detergent to wash your cotton clothing, then it would be polyester clothing. Plus the cotton require longer time in a dryer wasting more energy, then that of polyester that require less time drying. So far the 100% cotton clothing would require more chemical detergent to clean and more energy wasted to dry. This is not counting the many hundreds of product made by polyester. Like flag, men's tie, ropes, woman purse, man wallet, scarf, belt, sporting shoes, pants, hats, construction material, car seat, safety belt for the car and many many more items. It can even replace all kinds of leather product.

   So if you're willing to understand and recognize that polyester is far more superior in energy-saving and far less environmental impact, then that of 100% cotton. So then a man-made product will be far more better than a 100% natural product. Like I said before use common sense and balance. And you can live environmental friendly and not necessarily live 100% natural lifestyle.

There is no death. (A)

    Good day everyone. On this article I will be talking about an subject that it is not new to any of you. And that is the subject of death. The subject has been around for millennium. It has been viewed from many different angle. It has been a subject has been talk about through mythology, philosophy, religiously and philosophy. You will find thousands of stories surrounding the subject of death.
Stories were told by storytellers and in theater like the Greek and Roman theater. As time went by, then came the invention of the press in which now the story can be printed and distributed to the massive. Then came the invention of the moving picture in which now the story can be told in theater through moving picture. Then came the invention of the radio in which now the story can be spread it to the airway. And then came the invention of television (In which then it was called as the tube) in which now the story can be told and brought to you into your living room. And this were in places where technology was available. Where as in other country storyteller was still perform of spreading information. Yes indeed society was changing and also the understanding of the meaning of death. And now with the invention of the World Wide Web (known as the Internet) . The story has not changed very much. But now we have a wider view of interaction with the subject of death. Kind of like what I'm doing right now in this blog. Being one of those millions of individual posting and adding their two cent view. Like I have spoken in other article under the title "what is truth". That while other people may consider some other things that I say a philosophy, but for me it is my truth. So consider this as my "philosophy-truth". While it may be a philosophy to you, but it is my truth.

  Death has many meaning and it is not remotely what you're thinking about. For me death is just another level, change, transformation, stage, and even awakening. It is not in any way the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new journey.

In the meaning to what I'm trying to say, here is one way of seeing things. If you look at your arms and hands right now in touch the skin. It is compose of millions of cells that make up your skin. Well those cells that you are feeling right now are not the same one that you had when you were born. To explain this a little bit better. Let us call the cells when you were born "A". As you groom your body would producing new cells in getting rid of damaged cells. As time went by the A cells has died away in your B cells were replaced. But as you continue to get older your dead or damage B cells were replaced with C cells. And these process continue hundreds of time throughout your life. And let us saying that now you are the age of 50. Probably by now, for the sake of argument. You are now have "W" cells. So in another word the skin that you are feeling right now. Are not in any way the same one when you were born. The "A" cells has been dead and gone away for many years ago. So in many ways do have died many time in your lifetime. But you never notice it and never felt it. So that kind of death is simply will be consider as a "transformation death". It was not a death that you might consider as the end. But a death of transformation from one stage to another.

   Just like when a Caterpillar begin to do is cocoon and begin to do this transformation. Then at a certain time the Caterpillar emerge from is cocoon, but now it is completely different. It has become a butterfly. One of may should greatest and beautiful phenomenon. It is nature speaking to us and teaching us the meaning of death. It is teaching us that there is no end, but only a new stage. What we learn from ancient Scripture, nature has its way of teaching us also. And that is that there is no death.

   I will talk about more about this subject, but for now I would like to keep this short. For this subject has many Avenue in which we can define death.
