THE LEARNING HUB: There is always something ghostly

There is always something ghostly about living constantly in a well-ordered state. You cannot step into the street or drink a glass of water or get on a streetcar without touching the balanced lever of gigantic apparatus of laws and interrelations, setting them in motion or letting them maintain you in your peaceful existence; one knows hardly any of these levers, which reach deep into the inner workings and, coming out of the other side, lose themselves in a network whose structure has never yet been unraveled by anyone. So one denies their existence, just as the average citizen denies the air, maintaining that it is empty space. But all these things that one denied, these colorless, odorless, tasteless, weightless, and morally indefinable things such as water, air, space, money, and the passing of time, turn out in truth to be the most important things of all, and this gives life a certain spooky quality. ~Robert Musil (Book: The Man Without Qualities https://amzn.to/3Nw9mBg) (Art: P...

THE LEARNING HUB: Life happens.

Life happens. And it happens fast. Life happens over years and at times it happens within a split second. Life hits harder than anyone can. It hits so hard that your lungs cry out for air, making you realize how precious Life is. Yet Life is so tender. It leaves you speechless. It has you yearning for more. More tenderness. More love. More of the good. Our moments that make up Life colour us. It colours us with joy. Happiness. Some moments in life leave you breathless.. Some moments change you. Moments are like windows we look through. Some frozen, some clear, some half open. There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back. Many moments I would recast. But I know it will then change my life forever. The direction. The purpose. The now. Life is all about moments. Not days. Not weeks. Not years. Don’t wait for them, create them. We have moments of truth when we are tested, decisions that have to be made, or even a crisis that has to be faced. Some moments shine like precio...

THE LEARNING HUB: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023

THE LEARNING HUB: It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than..

It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than the beasts. Man is impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic. Thus, no animal is clever enough, when there is a drought, to imagine that the rain is being withheld by evil spirits, or as punishment for its transgressions. Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the pr...

THE LEARNING HUB: How would you know that if a person is genuine or not in a relationship?

You fall in love with the person, who brings out the best in you, and makes you love the person you are, when you are around them. The soul of a person is always revealed. There are no secrets, that behavior does not reveal. The problem is, most choose to believe the chatter, the words, that are meant to fool your intelligence, and betray your heart. The number one tool, that deceptive people use to get you addicted to them is, flattery, they tell you what you want to hear, and what you most need to hear. They make you feel beautiful, and special. And then they stop. They distance themselves, or disappear for a while. They continually play this game to get you addicted to them. And the times, they are loving towards you. The difference between a genuine person, and a deceptive person is, the genuine person does not change, the minute you show them love. They don't run, immediately after you give them your acceptance. They don't go back and forth between loving you and distancin...

THE LEARNING HUB: 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few: -Experiences -Genuine connections -A feeling of purpose -Genuine concern for helping others -Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.” 2.
