We're back!!! And it feels good, too. On this new installment of 'In Between The Stories' we'll talk a little bit about the "quick fix." And, it's great exchange that promises to give us something for NOTHING!!
In his book The Art of Being, Erich Fromm outlines two modes of existence - having and being. The first, having, primarily possession-centered i.e. objects, status, desires; destructive or not. Is a life focused on consumption-we acquire, use up, discard, then repeat.
And its complete opposite, being, is a mode which is more activity-centered (experience, feeling). As with love, reason or productive activity. It cannot be bought, collected or hoarded.
One of the barriers when learning the art of being, writes Fromm, is the "no-effort, no pain" doctrine. From methods of education, with courses made to be as easy and pleasant as possible. Thus, studying too, should be felt as pleasant, and not forced. Where comes this idea of "effortless learning?" Fromm claims it's rooted in the advancements of Technology.
Let's break bread!! Share some of your own thoughts on any of the platforms you can find us on. I'd love to hear from you.
Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
