I Still Want to Listen But….

When you are teaching someone or teaching a group of people, is it right to be mean and humiliate someone to stress that you are right?

It is right to criticize someone’s wrong deeds as an example to your teachings?

Is it right to laugh at someone’s stupidity, weakness and wrong beliefs?

Is it right to hurt a person’s feeling for other people to learn?

It is right  to question what someone say or do?

Is it right to boast just to inspire people to stress the right path to take?

Can you teach without judging others?

Isnt it shallowness, hyprocrisy, lack of understanding to human behavior and possibly wrong beliefs about self to say things that can degrade or kill someone in words?

How could you judge the world you live in without weighing yourself in all aspects? Teaching someone to be in the right path  doesnt mean you gotta be holy or pure. It doesnt mean you you’ve got to be righteous before someone listens to you.  

Do you cast a stone to someone without examining yourself? 

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her–bible

When you teach, you’ve got to acknowledge that each one of us has weaknesses,  any human behavior has a reason, everyone has feelings. Isnt it appropriate to just inspire humbly for people to learn than to condemn? The sole purpose of teaching someone to have a purpose-driven life or to be in the right path is to be able to effectively change a person without losing his self esteem, where a person can develop a positive self  love and gain a deep understanding of the world. Another purpose is to help the person study himself without degradation but by how you shine as a humble teacher with your words and deeds. Even if you dont speak of your goodness or shout to the world about your achievements, you will illuminate and you will become someone’s leader(like my former classmate whom I will always respect for being a good leader and a good person without being arrogant).

I believe it’s possible to help others see through your eyes because you can lend your vision and get it back when the person can view things alone the way you want that person to view things or you can help the person see the world he should suppose to see through the light that illuminates in you.

A good teacher is a good leader as well but you’ve got to win people and not sway them away.
