The emotional world in modern societies is still a mystery because emotions are universally both ignored and feared. They are certainly not included in education. One possible direction (seriously):
In lieu of pledging allegiance to the flag, beginning in the first grade school, perhaps children should recite line No. 1, adding another line in the second grade, and so on.
1. Hail to thee, all emotions!
2. Especially hail to pride, grief, anger, fear, and shame.
3. Having a good cry when needed is necessary, even for boys.
4. Fear can save my life, and it has nothing at all to do with cowardice.
5. I deserve to feel proud, because it means at least one other person accepts me just as I am.
6. Shame is the basis of morality and is not shameful.
7. I need to feel and reveal my anger, but without yelling or hitting.
8. Yawning is good for me, so get off my back.
By the last year of college, the pledge will have 16 lines. Lines 15 and 16 should attempt to open up a more complex matter, explaining, for instance, why young people like horror films and roller coaster rides.
This program, if combined with a series of whole college classes on emotion, might slow down our march to extinction.
