What is required of us to find the power and meaning in art? in poetry? Is it related to carpe diem? And does it give us any guidance in how to approach meaningful lives?

Another project kickoff, another use of the Understand/Feeling flip chart. Get people’s sense of new words or jargon out at the start. If they don’t know the words or hate the words, you can’t work properly. #Jargon #Meaning
Boredom is indeed a pitiable condition. And the feeling of meaninglessness can be devastating. Still, to compensate by abandoning reason for ideology is a desperate remedy.
-- Robert Conquest
The highest meaning of a social group is to foster the development of its members' individual potential. Group well-being depends on it.

Hi @indieterminacy @jdp23,
I spell mine 'ma', but admit being biased namewise.
Nice however is, essentially everybody can fill it with their own #meaning.

»Rather, living entities are generators of #meaning. They mine their #environment (including their own bodies) for things that have meaning for them: moisture, nutrients, warmth. It is not sentimental but simply following the same logic to say that, for we #human organisms, another of those meaningful things is #love.«

It was both a revelation and a relief to discover my life didn't have to have a single purpose. It could have many purposes.

I gladly return to the subject of the ineptitude of our education. Its goal has been to make us not good or wise, but learned; it has attained this goal. It has not taught us to follow and embrace virtue and wisdom, but has imprinted in us their derivation and etymology. We know how to decline virtue, if we cannot love it. If we do not know what wisdom is by practice and experience, we know it by jargon and by rote.
[Je retombe volontiers sur ce discours de l’ineptie de nostre institution : Elle a eu pour sa fin, de nous faire, non bons & sages, mais sçavans : elle y est arrivée. Elle ne nous a pas appris de suyvre & embrasser la vertu & la prudence : mais elle nous en a imprimé la derivation & l’etymologie. Nous sçavons decliner vertu, si nous ne sçavons l’aymer. Si nous ne sçavons que c’est que prudence par effect, & par experience, nous le sçavons par jargon & par cœur.]
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1578), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption], Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17) (1595) [tr. Frame (1943)]

The word #tyrant is from #Latin tyrannus, meaning “lord, master, monarch, despot,” and ultimately from the Greek τύραννος (tyrannos), which meant “monarch, ruler of a polis” or “absolute ruler unlimited by law or #constitution”.
The Greek term possibly has origins from the Lydian tûran, meaning “lord”, referred to someone who seized power without #legal right, not necessarily ruling cruelly.

Cause information and knowledge are growing exponentially, #schools try to cram facts into the minds of students. The result is that there is less and less room for #understanding, for reflection on the world and the #meaning of life, for an understanding of #nature and #society, for #humanistic #values, for ethics...
Doing so, we are destroying our #culture and #civilization, because culture is nourished by understanding and wisdom, and civilization without understanding becomes uncontrollable.
