The Restless Adventurer

What if education could be an adventure that appeals to the restless heart?  Not everyone who squirms in their seat in class has ADHD or needs medication.  Such a child might really want to learn but senses no appeal to the heart and no adventure though they cannot articulate it like this.  What is the adventure?  Well, education should be a risk.  It should not be so safe, as in learning a skill or vocation so you can insure a safe living.  That is not education.  Education helps us to find out what we are willing to live for, and as follows, what we are willing to die for.  Learn what is good and what is evil from traditions of the ages. Education ought to show us how to have the victory of good over evil.  We want the virtue of courage which can be learned from such an education.  How many people  finish up there advanced education with fear and uncertainty about what to do and how to act?  How many are paralyzed into conformity with a status quo that is at best mediocre or want someone else to fix their messy world?  A lot of this education is very spiritual, as it appeals to the heart, but we think spiritual is all about organized western religion with its rules and control issues.  I read and listen to what challenges me to grow.  You might say I live for this education.  IT took a lot of growing up.
