  1. A quotation from George Bernard Shaw

    The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation, because occupation means pre-occupation; and the pre-occupied person is neither happy nor unhappy, but simply alive and active, which is pleasanter than any happiness until you are tired of it.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Treatise on Parents and Children, “Children’s Happiness” (1914)

  6. Jean-Pierre #Bellon (professeur de philosophie qui a diffusé la #Méthode de #Préoccupation #Partagée) trouve dommage qu’on utilise le même mot « #harcèlement » à l’école et dans le monde du travail (et des adultes en général) 🧠🏫💼.

    Il préfère le mot « #intimidation », et je lui donne raison 👍. Même en anglais, cette distinction existe d’ailleurs clairement : *bullying* pour le harcèlement entre élèves, et *harassment* entre adultes.

    Il faut donc intervenir dès la moindre *intimidation* pour éviter qu’elle ne se transforme en *harcèlement*... ⏰🚨.

    Je crois n'avoir jamais harcelé… En revanche, concernant l’intimidation, puis-je en dire autant...? 🤔
