The one thing I've noticed in our educational system
(I work at a University): We teach people from the
time they are born how to rush through things; tests
and their scores are given based on speed.
What we don't teach in our culture is....how to relax.
How to concentrate. How to come down from the speed/rush
mania that we emulate but have to take pills in order
to come down from.
I have taught meditation for many years; people from the
University Hospital have been sent to my classes because
these people (patients) couldn't be given medication for
some reason (or the medication didn't work). It was amazing
how much two to three weeks of meditation calmed them down
so that they were no longer labeled ADD's .
One of my former students was a psychiatrist working with
ADD's.
He came to the conclusion that one can be TRAINED to be a
wreck
in our culture-----or one can be TRAINED NOT to be a wreck.
But we only ADMIRE the former.
And I think that's our problem. We ADMIRE nervous wrecks,
people
who are out of control. We say we don't admire them, but
we find all kinds of excuses for them...and many times
reward them.
My two cents, for what it's worth,
Adele
