I know this is not a travel post but I have been in an ‘up and down’ relationship with something for a while now...I realise I have to learn to accept... accept things for what they are, things that are beyond my control...
Funny things is, I have learnt that and accept everything but.. I (the ego) is finding it a bit hard to accept authoritarian form of governance. I am working on a social project and we want the public to be involved. We have had many engagement sessions with them and taken their feedback seriously- awesome! But when it comes to certain things - for example a competition, we want to enforce certain rules because the BOSS says so...here’s where the ego struggles...why specify detailed rules that you limit the creativity of the people submitting. Actually that’s not where the struggle is.. the struggle is why do we HAVE TO OR MUST do something because the BOSS says so... why not hear the person out first... why are we doing things out of FEAR!!!???
When someone says because the BOSS says so... although I have questions etc, and the response is “Because the BOSS says so!”, that’s when the ego burns up!
Now I am wondering, what is it in me that repels that like it’s poison?
Hmm time to reflect.. adios amigs (short form for Amigos ;)
Travel posts will be up when it’s time :) thank you for understanding!
