It's hard not to be political in this world, but .... as we walk in our world today we often find ourselves in the middle of Dante's road more than we ever imagined.
“In the middle of the road of my life
I awoke in a dark wood
Where the true way was wholly lost.”
- Dante Alighieri
These days we truly are often making it up as we go along. There are no guidebooks, flowcharts, algorithms, or even balancing loops to work through the situations we find ourselves in. These times are emotional, impulsive, action and reaction, pressure, and survival.
Is it the death, we knew was coming, of something we treasured? …. done in the name of creating something ....? What????
It is heart wrenching... . it is stomach turning... it is head pounding... it is unbelievable... it is ....?
What about this idealistic belief that it doesn’t have to happen this way, presented by the books and theorists who have opined for years and years that change should be accepted and open? They surely never dealt with this side of life. The dark side of world leadership. It is so very hard… so very hard… to accept this. But when change happens, we dance our rituals and give the past practices our love and tell ourselves it will get better.
Do we really believe that?
Such is the way of change. But is it the way of this change?
What is the difference, though, between being the sole voice in the crowd crying for change… or
…. being the sole voice in the crowd crying not to change?
What make the difference between right and wrong here?
What makes one voice more correct than the other?
What makes one person seeing something, different from another person not seeing something?
Or perhaps another person seeing something differently from the others?
Such are the questions we are asked,
…. and we have asked.
Is there one answer?
