Educational Philosophy Quotes

“No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life.

― Friedrich Nietzsche, Schopenhauer as Educator

The world has changed so many books were hidden from a black man, under the skies of colonialism the majority forced from knowledge and we built a culture of straight education which is not education but instilling slogans of slavery. Lone reading, lone understanding, lone accumulation is what we fought for, just a social forgery we are still under post colonialism barbarism”
― Tapiwanaishe Pamacheche, Depth of colour

“As a researcher deeply immersed in the field of human interaction, universal laws, and the profound impacts of education on societal behaviors, I posit that ghosting transcends mere social rudeness; it might be a manifestation of our internal psychological landscapes. Ghosting could reflect our deepest fears of abandonment, our struggles with self-worth, or even a subconscious desire for an undefined existence in relationships. My exploration into this phenomenon suggests that education in emotional intelligence and self-awareness could serve as a beacon, not only illuminating the path to heal from ghosting but also to prevent it. By understanding that our external experiences might mirror our internal states, we can foster a society where empathy and presence are not just valued but are the norm. This isn't just about changing individual behaviors; it's about transforming our collective social fabric through knowledge and empathy.”
― Yvonne Padmos

“I propose that at the core of our existence lies an intrinsic connection on an energetic level, suggesting that our purpose might be fundamentally tied to the exercise of free will. This free will presents us with a profound choice: to engage in meaningful connections that affirm our shared humanity, or to opt for isolation, which leads to a sense of existential emptiness. Perhaps, this dichotomy is the very essence of a cosmic test designed by our creator, challenging us to recognize and nurture our interconnectedness over separation.”
