Lilyana,
Your concern is highly appreciated, and responses have poured in.
1. With no slight meant at all, we often set the mood and the tone and so the responses come, and then the moods start gaining momentum much like a storm till eventually it comes down like a "cloud burst."
2. It's not in this case, but it happens in most postings, there isn't enough data shared to make our points in clearly trying to address the issue.
Without going into much details, I'd like to give this a little twist... please read this story of which I'm not sure of the source, but was collected from the 'internet.'
THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by will see the new words.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a way.”
What he had written was: "Today is a day and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat.
The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is, “Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.”
The second is, “Be. Be Present. Think. THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY!”
I'm trying to see if the is 'value' in trying to educate people with you to be future conscious, by elaborating of the role of connectedness and hope.
Can't see the wood for the trees. Sometimes when we concentrate on the minute details of a problem, we can lose sight of the overall picture; in other words, all you can see is one tree but there is actually a whole bunch of them in front of you. It may mean concentrating on the smaller specifics and in the process losing out on the larger perspective. Trees are part of the forest. While one may be enjoying the beauty of the trees individually but at the same time he is losing out the beauty of nature as is evident in the complete forest.
Serving a 'memo' will be a 'transaction' I tried opening you out to a 'transformation,' choices are entirely yours.
Best wishes.
