No action
talk only.
I think it's incredible, the amount of time we spend worrying about the things that are independent of our mental exertions.
This morning, having been dedicated to the discourse of a few such issues, is a testament to the abject futility of our undertakings.
5 people, one entire morning. That's 15 manhours.
Eventually, we may come to see that at the end of the day, the nature of some things neccessitates that they develop in a way that is independent of deliberate effort.
Creativity. "Bonded-ness." Commitment.
What good is there of deliberating such issues?
We pour our lives into worrying about these "problems" - Why do they occur? Why is it bad? How should it be tackled. How is proposed solution 1 troublesome? Why wouldn't proposed solution 2 work either? Why do they occur? Why should we be worried? How was it resolved before? Was it ever resolved? Do we have a solution 3?
There is a redundant cyclical nature in our discourse, and more confoundingly, an inherent redundancy in our discourse itself.
Indeed we will come to realise that when all's said and done,
these things come by naturally, through the passage of time.
Commitment? Culture of excellence? "Bonded-ness?"
All these will come by when we feel a sense of responsibility, when we at last feel we have a stake in things, when we feel we mean something to the community, and therefore, a vested interest to see that things go well.
How do we achieve that?
By spending time together, by having fun together, by empowering one another with responsibilities - by having others feel loved and valued in the said community.
And so, even after examining every angle of the problem, resolution comes simply by doing the right things on a daily basis, thereby encouraging the desired "culture of excellence," "commitment," "bonded-ness."
What are the right things?
Even delegation of manpower, spending time together having dinner or otherwise, showing love and concern through words of encouragement, birthday celebrations etc.
The large pieces - "commitment", "bonded-ness" will fall into place in time to come.
Meanwhile,
the world can do without our futile rantings and musings.
