While talking to 'church people' about the nightclub business, the question of my morality and character came up.
I listened as they told me of their pastor's teachings as most of them noted, '...he teaches the word...'.
'Have you read the entire Bible?', I asked. (None of them had.) 'Then how would you know?', I continued.
Brah..., we are reading from the exact same page of the popular culture playbook at this very moment. I was about the say that "the masses appear to be" but the truth is that "the masses ARE resistant to anything other than directive instruction". They want information spoon fed to them by somebody with apparent authority, told what to think and told what to do.
Feed these ninjas a fish, because it never has been and never will be possible to teach them to fish for themselves.
I have been wracking my brains for the past 5-6 months trying to figure out a way to package and present learning and training as an inner voyage of discovery. http://hcl.harvard.edu/hfa/films/2008mayjune/shaw.html#36
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)
