Way of living: juvenile condition vs self reliance

When forced, apologies and self reflections don’t lead to true reflections
 
Juvenile condition:
  • condition of not attaining self reliance
  • lack of courage to use abilities/reasoning
  • Cause
    • It’s easier, less responsibilities
    • Parents and educators indoctrinate/control/meddle
    • Reasons for parents/educators/supervisors to control:
      • Fear of authority collapsing
      • Responsible for students failing, so only allow safe path
  • objective of education
    is self reliance
    • Educators: find happiness in contributing to the goal, not the gratitude from the student (thanks to you …)
    • Teach by saying “that’s something you can decide”
    • Can provide knowledge or experience if needed for deciding things
    • Convey to students you are always ready to help
    • Watch at a distance
    • If decision fails, student can learn that one can chose one’s own life
