Notes by Arjun Mahes

Last Week review

• Use knowledge usefully (Pooh) to be pleasant. Not using knowledge the right way can make you cranky
• Always accept everything the way it is

Niti — Be Righteous

Story: Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

• All tour participants are given rules: do not touch, eat or drink anything
• Augustus (is taken off of tour by drinking chocolate), Violet (is taken off tour by chewing gum), Veruca (is taken off tour because she wants everything), Mike (is taken off tour because he touched technology). Charlie wasn’t taken off of the factory because he followed the rules.

Message

• Jungle: “Might is Right” Society: “Right is Might” this can also be translated to “Proper is right not Popular” (relating to school)
• Doing something wrong makes you feel scared or distressed (ex. Cheating for a test). On the other hand doing something right makes you feel light and courageous (ex. Helping a person)

Practice

We journaled our thoughts happy or sad on our notebook

Journaling is a good way to take trash out of your mind. Writing down our thoughts about everything can give us solutions and make us feel thankful.
