We serve better our ideals when we label what is right and wrong, even knowing we could be wrong in what we think is right is wrong. Moreover, it includes more than just right and wrong labels, which we sadly have taken to bludgeoning any attempt to meaningful discussion. It includes a pattern that permits and indeed encourages a discussion of the labels.
Democracy is that pattern. It survives with an insubordinate (but kind) curiosity of what, why, when, how, and where of a people. Oh sweet love of mine. Learning to learn what works. Learning to learn what doesn’t. It survives on respect for what each of us offer to that learning. It survives on recognition for what the learner gave, got, or was given, in a learning to learn project that celebrates a Birthday today.
Happy Fourth!
