ON SERIOUS MOODS

436

Destiny of destiny.- Sometimes big things become small, and small things become big – sometimes we simply fall into the marshes – how can we avoid the quick sand. The truth is that one should not wish for easy or difficult hope. On can find so many things in a mood, but one also needs worth to meet the sun half-way, but balanced equally with humidity, as many times one has to duck. Deeper in oneself one senses invisible strings to invisible mechanisms, I do not philosophise; I look up.

commentary - not all my aphorisms have commentaries, it is...

This is about one's heart of darkness, it is about things that disrupt one's flow. One may be late for work, but something spills, and now one is more late. It is about going on and on, without any pause, we complain what is going on in the world, yet one president may attack another country, or half attack it with a lie, due to something not being clear. It is about how things fall a part, the unity becomes dissolved, and meaning is laid out like cards on a table.

Hail fortune! My eyes see more than a ceiling, we are more than bodies... Hail, the light shows the way but can also disguise the way.

“I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”Dr. Haim Ginott

Dr. Ginott's communications approach:

• Never deny or ignore a child's feelings.
• Only behavior is treated as unacceptable, not the child.
• Depersonalize negative interactions by mentioning only the problem. "I see a messy room"
• Attach Rules to things, e.g., "Little sisters are not for hitting."
• Dependence breeds hostility. Let children do for themself what they can.
• Children need to learn to choose but within the safety of limits. "Would you like to wear this blue shirt or this red one?"
• Limit criticism to a specific event - don't say 'never', 'always', e.g. "You never listen learn," "You always manage to spill things", etc.link

I guess we can apply this to adults too, not just children. Though people are talked about by their colour (or size) for we cannot describe people in talking about something, or losing the flow of something we are saying. Though it is the nature of light to have colour, and light shows us the path, but it is a very wide path.
