Take the word happiness. Maybe the dictionary has a clear-cut meaning for it. It sure seems like a piece of saltwater taffy in the real world. Take patience. Is it a waiting room strength or linked to the larger issue of tolerance? I guess it has a negotiated meaning for whomever is involved. Dana,

I would suggest that you read the article written by David Pollay entitled 'Let Your Subconscious Mind Go To Work for You' on November 2, 2007 (here is the link - http://pos-psych.com/news/david-j-pollay/20071102463) Besides, my professor recommended a book to me before – <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Your-Subconscious-Mind/dp/0553583182" rel="nofollow">The Power of Your Subconscious Mind</a>, written by Joseph Murphy.

I have been reading The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and Howard Cutler, and in it they write extensively about compassion. The Dalai Lama talks at length how the cultivation of compassion is a major component, if not a bedrock, of human morality and happiness. This rang in my mind when reading your article. It seems to me that you are advocating that effective teachers must have a level of true compassion for their students, and not compassion that is too hard or too soft. Having this level of respect and feeling for the students with which we instruct and help to learn and mature must be present if we are to properly "confirm" their education and maturity. It's fascinating to me how the need for the understanding of the deep underlying truth of the human experience shows up wherever we look. Would you agree? Cheers, Nick Hi John,

Especially that part about confirmation. It sounds like ACR. Also, the distinction between natural and ethical... sounds similar to a distinction between a process goal and an end goal... I'm not sure if this analogy holds - it just seems like a similar dynamic. Neat. What a beautiful article.
