The Aaron Principle
Children

Children rarely have the privilege of developing an Aaron Principle. They have a difficult time developing any principles.

They usually go through a tough world, with violence rampant in schools, homes, and playgrounds. They have to defend themselves physically. They must demonstrate a bravado that could impede the development of the Aaron Principle. Any tendency towards accepting some aspects of the Aaron Principle are quickly squelched when facing the harsh realities of the tough world.

Is this a trait that we should engender in some of our superior students? If we do so, then we face many questions?

Yes, widespread acceptance of the Aaron Principle would ensure a world that is more considerate, kind, and gentle. However, those trained in this trait may rebel when they see others getting ahead in life. Nobody wants to be a loser.

Where do you want to go now?
