HCHY List: Active vs. Passive - Both are needed

[MClark936 at aol.com]

Paul poses a great question. We focus on "reading for pleasure" and what  
about "writing for pleasure?" 
 
In a similar vein, Paul's post reminds me of research our Center came  across 
from the 1970's that took court mandated clients (juveniles, adult  
probationers, etc) and placed them in "helping" roles. We all know the goodness  to 
helping and how much it can do for anyone (in some cases, it's might be  the ONLY 
remedy for what ails a person) yet so much programming turns  youth into 
passive recipients rather than active givers.
 
I love Search as they were some of the first to resurrect this idea of  
active giving. 
 
Seems there are similarities for creating writing and making  contributions 
as well as the effort of absorbing and reading. Both seem  helpful. 
 
Hope you are all well.  I've missed posting and interacting these  last few 
months. 
 
Regards,
Mike Clark
