[Jagriti54] Spoiled by Adjectives (Part 2) 🆓

Hi

(continuing previous email on adjectives):

In much the same way adjectives CAGE people.

In many ways we are not free and we do not let our children be free.

we put nice adjectives on them and then cage them in these adjectives.

we put adjectives to ourselves and do the same.

We call our children or ourselves - beautiful, ignorant, smart, irresponsible etc

While we very well know that it is only the "behaviour right now" - that can be qualified with those adjectives - not the person.

I have had this habit of putting nice adjectives in front of people's names and sending them birthday wishes.

I am sure that makes them feel good - but poor they - little they realise i have put them in a prison.

A prison of these Tags - tied to an adjective  - just like a horse tied to a stump - we go round and round that stump - trying to live out of these adjectives - rather than being untied - being limitless, living out of this limitless potential.

If i say i am humorous - then people as well as I myself expect me to be humorous. And when not humorous - people ask are you okay ....

Can we suspend these tags?

Can we suspend adjectives?

The other day - i referred a person to a psychologist and said, "You can contact her, she is very helpful"

After the person had gone away - i regretted my saying - there was no need to put her in the "helpful prison"

More importantly we need to free learning and free the learner and also possibly free the teacher.

No adjectives to the learning - let the child experience it purely

No adjectives to the learner - let the child operate out of completeness.

No adjectives to the teacher - let the teacher interact with as much objectiveness.

let us LIVE with verbs.Those seem to only imply action, experience, time. And verbs move on. And verbs imply change. And verbs imply openness of start, process and end result.

Verbs imply freedom.

warmly
