I think of all the counselors being hired, at high schools and other places, as we attempt to deal with the mass shootings. I think this might be good. But, I wonder if we could tweak their assignment. I wonder if we could have them eye-balling everyone they witnessed, spotting those who might feel a lack of love, and rushing in to offer it.
Love. Positivity. Good will. Warmth. Encouragement. Acceptance.
Actually, do we need to hire special people to do this? Perhaps. But, couldn't all the teachers be taught? Shouldn't they all be searching for the child that seems at risk, and jumping to assuage their fears, and rushing to offer them love?
If you have to hire a good-will ambassador, that's fine, but it does reflect that your teachers are not already being good-will ambassadors.
I say, hire them. Hire the good-will ambassador. Assure that that function is being met. Ensure that that need is not being overlooked. Make love someone's assignment, and the assignment will not be ignored.
