In God’s world, education is that which spreads happiness in the masses.
We all crave for an ideal world where we would not lack
love, respect or money.

However, just the
ability to think or use good English vocabulary does not ensure that you are
thinking in the direction of creating happiness. Most Shakespeare’s tales are
centred around failures, manipulation and misery. There is hardly any
literature which focuses on how to create happiness.
The only way to change the external scenario is by changing
the schooling system. The beliefs and values developed in early childhood and
teenage remain through life. To ensure emotional management necessary to remain
healthy and happy through life , Schools have to teach us how to be content.
Instead of
teaching competition, schools have to reward co-operation. Sharing, giving and
receiving love, enjoying work rather than feeling forced to perform, learning
to relax, be stress free etc. Have to be taught by schools. Classroom need to
allot time to meditate on being thoughtless and breathing free for short
intervals.
Practical training needs to be applied than theoretical
knowledge. Children should be allowed flexible school timings instead of being grilled
to get up early morning. The experience of life needs to be happy from
beginning. Only then the Universal LAW OF REPETITION would ensure that the experience of
life remains happy through life.
If we force our children to cry every morning to go to school,
we train them into crying through life because the Law of Repetition starts
operating and emotional experiences get repeated. If we make our children feel
rejected from childhood for not studying , they feel they have to perform
for success even as adults and are unable to love with compassion..
.
Terrorism, rapes, wars etc. Are a result of bad values
inculcated in school where completion of a task is rewarded over love and sharing. Terrorism aim at completion of a bullying agenda not at sharing of thoughts.A rape aims at completion not at sharing of love . Wars aim at completion of stealing foods and riches of others not at sharing of riches.
Our
schooling system encourages competitive violence, corruption , cheating , bullying , mocking others,
manipulation etc. By rewarding all children who defeat the weaker ones .
In the present society, our schools focus on lack . The
schools have to teach subjects like RESPECT, COMPASSION, TOLERANCE ,
CO-OPERATION , PHYSICAL ENDURANCE etc.
These subjects. By incorporating stories and problems around Instead of
mathematical theorems or distance from the moon. These are specialized subjects
which are not needed by all in adult lives but emotional management is needed
by everyone to be happy in life.
If schools were giving marks to children for being co-operative,
for showing empathy, being compassionate, children would enjoy sharing as a
habit of the mind.
As the Delhi government has started a basic happiness curriculum, other states need to follow . The curriculum needs to be regularly reviewed and revised by testing whether there is increasing peace or violence in society .
If there is increase in violence, it indicates that children are aggressive and schooling is fostring competition
The world needs peace of mind not weapons of war .. .Weapons are needed only when peace of mind is not invested upon.
Our governments needs to focus on developing a new education
system rather than giving money to
soldiers for killing
