Chapter 10
Materials Required: Tape
Materials Required: Tape
- Create a big square on the ground with some tape and ask a student to stand inside of it. Tell the student that the square is their land and that he/she possesses it. Then ask the other students to try to invade the property/to take possession of it by putting one foot inside the square. To make sure the invaders go away, the student who is inside the square must touch the invaders' shoulder who then needs to move back 10 steps before trying again to invade.
- Let it happen for 10 minutes while ensuring that the whole activity is done calmly and let the students take turns inside the land.
- In the end, ask the students to share their experience.
- How did the student who was told that he possesses the land felt every time he saw someone else's foot inside the square?
- Did they feel like they needed to eliminate others in order to be victorious?
- Make the students understand that this cognition of "I need to eliminate others to be victorious" is wrong understanding.
If you want to own, you can own the whole world. See, unfortunately, only if you eliminate others, you feel that you are victorious, which is not right. This is a basic wrong understanding.
Guide the students into a discussion about freedom. Is it possible to achieve freedom through our own efforts? Then tell the students to visualise themselves as the leader of the country and that they have to give an important speech to motivate the population about the topic of freedom. Give students 21 minutes to write down a speech and have them present it in front of others
Never, ever will you be free by your efforts to be free. Freedom will happen to you only by the right knowledge about freedom, never by your efforts towards freedom.
