RE: Tiptoeing around a fragile mind.

Although it's a re-post, I'll give you an upvote! For a few reasons: 1. This is an awesome post, 2. I wasn't around 8 months ago to upvote you at the time, 3. This is an awesome post.

That is all :)


The world has people who can't handle "constructive criticism", or any criticism for that matter.

  • The question becomes: How did these people come to exist?
  • The answer: The last generation raised them this way.

Sure, some people just can't be taught .. but is that really the case? Or is it that the teachers just didn't know the correct way to teach these individuals. Did you post recently about how teachers are not the problem? The students need to be willing to learn? That's true, but the teacher needs to be willing to be flexible in their teaching methods as well.

Yeah, I think it was you. "If you can't do, teach". It's all a learning process for everyone; the teacher, the student, the parents, friends, family, others who we interact with .. everyone is constantly learning about each other (if we're willing to pay attention to our surroundings for a few moments).

So where am I going with this? I honestly don't know :) This was your topic, not mine!

Ok, final thoughts: If we all treat each other with respect and understanding as opposed to worrying about what FOMO we're having because we're in a situation that isn't resulting in any discernible benefit to ourselves, maybe we all would get along better and society would become a little less hateful. Knowledge is power in that we fear what we do not understand. So if we spent more time trying to understand one another, we would no longer have the compulsion to fear one another for our differences.

Yes, guilty, it was me. I agree that the last generation has issues, as does every 'last generation' as they teach for what they know but it will inevitably change. Teaching how to learn makes people more adaptive to the changing environment, therefore more intelligent. this would also provide a deeper level of situational awareness including how we affect our surroundings too. A continual self-check to make sure that what we are doing is what is best in the moment.
