Gift Giving & the Power of Education

By: Paul Ruez, M.Ed.

Yes this is holiday time where giving gifts is common and even expected. For at least a moment let’s hit the pause button and accept the following gift of education presented here.

Mother Nature provides powerful and creative “reminders” of the ultimate Power of the universe.

Suns rising and setting, flowers going to seed and blooming in the spring are but a few. This Power creates, motivates and sustains all life and its manifestations. Manifestations we call people have the freedom of choice how we will express this Power in our daily lives. Those who choose to live with compassion, civil tolerance and respectful love, like the rising sun, outshine the vicious hatred, intolerance and self serving lies and hurtful behavior chosen by the greedy ‘my way right-orwrong’ dominators.

All of us have the freedom to choose how to learn, teach and practice non-hurtful behavior. Toward this end I applied Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s (cnvc. org) teaching to this lesson. This applies well to all ages and venues: https://bit.ly/4stepConflictRes

In the spirit of giving and receiving please tap the power of education and use this gift to reduce the trauma and frustration in your life and those you love and care about.
