EDUCATION: Build that bridge

| February 24, 2016 8:00 PM

It takes a community to teach.

Both teacher and student, together, learn, grow and further develop in their knowledge and understanding of each other relationally and of the world they live in objectively.

When we begin to reach out to our neighbors and engage them in not only conversation but activities together, we fortify the bridge that links one connection to another.

These connections, be it an economical, emotional, or a spiritual connection, all positively impact us directly and indirectly in our lives.

The importance of sustaining a healthy community is immense and is a responsibility the entirety of the community can’t disavow if they wish to remain solidified as a whole and not fracture into factions that benefit no one in the end.

It starts with education, the great bridge that spans many deep chasms, letting us meet on the level ground of truth, reason and understanding.
