About this event
Six IN-PERSON Sessions September 18, 25, October 2, 9, 16, 23 It is the nature of every human being to look at the world and discern whether a thing is good or bad, right or wrong. From childhood we are taught to categorize our experiences as right or wrong, good or bad. Laws, religions, societal norms, games that we play, our relationships, the behavior of others, the people that we meet – nearly everything we do requires us to label things as good or bad, right or wrong. Doing this helps us to make sense of the world we live in. This class will be a discussion-based examination of how, and maybe why, the human mind and heart is focused on judging the world around us. This class builds on ideas examined in previous courses “Is Reality Really Real?” and “Possibilities: What We Can Imagine.” It is not necessary to have taken those courses to get full benefit from this course but we will continue to dive into how individual perception and cultural understanding knit together to make us who we are.
