Children Full of Life (1 of 5)
A beautiful documentary (this is part one of 5, 10mins each) that follows a fourth grade class in a Tokyo neighbourhood, led by their astounding educator Toshiro Kanamori. He asserts that: Life is undervalued every day. A teacher’s job is to show how precious life is. And unlike any classroom I’ve been in, “the class goal for Grade 4 is to understand how to live a happy life and how to care for other people”.

things to come back to when i'm feeling meh and songs of the moment
this song! something about it reminds me of all the ways in which life is beautiful.Robert Greene On The Concept Of "The Sublime"
humans are social animals, and we try to keep ourselves inside a kind of circle and mentally inhabit an enclosed space.
well, the sublime is what lies just outside that circle. other ideas about the world. other ways of thinking, other ways of feeling. and it’s transformative.
because humans don't naturally like limits. when your mother tells you, don't do that, that's exactly what you want to do.
the word sublime, from the Latin means up to the threshold. up to the threshold of a door. and looking through that door on the other side is a sublime experience. so when you take a hike and you're feeling like a sense of awe at everything that you're seeing, and you're feeling your heart beating and you're feeling this rush of adrenaline, you're so excited, you're experiencing a sublime emotion. and that sublime emotion is a kind of an expansiveness as opposed to the closed spirit that we normally have.
and it's liberating and it's exciting.
we create our own reality. we have imaginations. we can imagine new kinds of political structures. we can imagine new kinds of social ways of interacting. we can create instead of just passively consuming what other people give us.
