The Brights' net
Geplaatst: 08 mei 2013 14:27
Wie is bekend met het Brights' net? Het klinkt allemaal aantrekkelijk, zeker wat opvoeden van kinderen betreft (door ze te leren zelf kritisch te laten nadenken) en ik vond onderstaand gedicht.
Waar ik wel wat moeite mee had (en dat ik mijn probleem uiteraard) is dat de Brights niet echt tegen religie zijn. Ik ben dat wel. Toch staan de ideeën me wel aan. Kan iemand hier meer over vertellen?
This I Believe
By Kathryn McAllister (age 17)
I am a Bright
I don't believe in the supernatural.
I believe in humanity
and the goodness inherent within us all
I am a Bright
I don't believe in tarot cards or crystal balls
I believe that the future is bright
and created by humanity's choices
I am a Bright
I don't believe in a god
I believe evolution gave us capacity to wonder
and that's miracle enough for me
I am a Bright
I don't believe in holy law
I believe morality is wise,
and I follow because it's right
I am a Bright
I don't believe in ghosts
I believe our time on earth is short,
and honestly, that scares me
I am a Bright
I don't believe in a heaven
I believe that you might,
and could you respect my beliefs too?
I am a Bright
I don't believe in this futile conflict
I believe we all search for truth
and look in different places
I am a Bright
and I don't see anything wrong with that.
