Questioning Learning and Other Tales Seven Short Stories on Education and Learning

The stories presented here are excerpts from a larger collection "Wisdom's Way: Tales, Treasures, Truths", chosen from the volume as stories more specific to the topics of Education and Learning. They are written in a variety of writing styles with a greater intent for more thoughtful and meditative reading rather than exciting, dramatic, or entertaining. Although some of the stories may seem to direct your thoughts, no interpretations are given. Any interpretation is left entirely to the determination of the reader, keeping in mind that most of the tales have multiple interpretations and applications, so should therefore not be specifically interpreted to only one meaning, either simple or complex.The reader will also find that these stories are not always written from a positive perspective. Many are clearly negative, revealing painful, sorrowful, and/or regretful consequences. Several can also be interpreted from both positive and negative perspectives. While a positive perspective usually provides a more enjoyable, uplifting, and cheerful experience; we can all usually gain more understanding and real learning from a negative perspective, hence both perspectives are valuable and vital for a more balanced view and whole experience.
