Thought provoking observation from Rick Rubin about the educational system and its consequences:
"As children, few of us are taught to understand and prioritize our feelings. For the most part, the educational system doesn't ask us to access our sensitivity, but to be obedient. To do what is expected. Our natural independent spirit is tamed. Free thought is constrained. There is a set of rules and expectations put upon us that is not about exploring who we are or what we're capable of. The system is not here for our benefit. It holds us back as individuals to support its own continued existence."
Can we break free from the damage that has been done or is it irreparable? Can we at least protect our children from it?
