Jiddu Krishnamurti

In this essay, I will be writing on Jiddu Krishnamurti’s concept that the true function of education should be to prepare people for life. In addition, I will relate Jiddu Krishnamurti’s concept to my own personal life. As a result, one should agree that the true function of education should be to prepare people for life. By demonstrating the consequences of following the formulas society has given us and are expected of us to conform to, Jiddu Krishnamuti’s The Function of Education suggests that

(i) Observation Skills Jiddu Krishnamurti can be compared to that of a psychologist. He can explain how the human mind and reality works with only the use of his observation skills. These skills made his explanations in the two books extra convincing. In the chapter III of his book Freedom from the Known, he tells his experience concerning the topic of awareness. It was when he was travelling with three gentlemen in a car once in India. He was vigilant in observing what happened around him. He carefully

Jiddu Krishnamurti, thought of worldwide as one of the best thinkers and religious teachers ever, states that “Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay” ("Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes"). This quote relates to the poem, “Mending Wall” and the short story, “The Interlopers” because it shows how people rely on tradition even if that tradition is outdated. “Mending Wall” is based on a wall that separates two neighbors. One of the neighbors believes that the wall is useless

What is Freedom to Love? Some would say that freedom to love is, having no limitations or boundaries. To see everyone equally. Many would say that freedom to love is, to give ones life for another. I agree with both statements but I would go further to say that freedom to love is not only an act or a response but it is a lifestyle. Something that defines you. Something that make you, who you are. As proud Americans, this month we celebrate the freedom that we have in this country and the

Jiddu Krishnamurti, a famous Indian philosophical speaker and writer, once said, “Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay”. His thoughts prove to be true, for the hyperactive mind of humans has been given limits by such traditions, causing the hatred one feels when they are encountered by the obstacles of the world. As the society continues to develop, the pessimistic result of family traditions raise the unnecessary destruction of relationships, whether it be

the intent of hurting someone. Now this covers the idea of physical, emotional, and mental harm. Violence is a highly controversial idea that is one of the harder concepts to grasp relating to psychology and human nature It was once said by jiddu krishnamurti that “Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a

Lou Aronica once said, “Trepidation is either the sign of great weakness or great wisdom.” In As I Lay Dying, Darl Bundren makes one want to question this quote because for him trepidation acts as both not one or the other. Nobody understands how Darl knows such information, nor why he executes such tasks. On that note, why would an author include a character that is hard to identify? Nine out of ten, that is the main reason Darl is such an important character because William Faulkner, the author

Schooled Out of School “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with an education.

Although youth spend most of their time in school, they are most often educated outside the classroom. Children and adolescents are influenced and shaped by their environments, friends, sports, experiences, and countless other factors in their

Fear is an emotion that most everyone is familiar with. The psychological effects of fear are readily apparent but many people are unaware of the physical effects. Some of these are major; others are so minor they go unnoticed. The philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti who lived during the 20th century said “What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it.
