Re: What they never taught us

I am talking about learning how to approach the world with a critical attitude.

Most people seem to confuse critical with being negative. When I apprach the world with a critical attitude I am engaging the world minute by minute. I am conscious of what I hear, read, and see. Being critical means to be conscious of, to analyze, and to examine for possible improvement. This sounds like a lot of stuff to be filling our mind constantly but it can become just standard operating procedure once we make it a habit.

Notice the difference with how a cat moves through the forest and how a turtle moves through the forest. To be a critical thinker is to be cat like. Nothing within the range of the senses goes without consideration.
