Winning
When I go to the Bay Tree, I win cos I have a lovely meal and a wonderful restaurant is supported. When I am a Steiner teacher - to the best of my ability - I also win because it is meaningful and the children also get an education which i'd imagine they deserve.
When I do elements, I win cos I do something I love, get paid for it, and the kids also win and the people who take part in it also win.
Everyone wins.
I don't know what other scale mad people like the people who are in power run, but I don't know who they imagine is winning.
It certainly isn't them cos the wins they take and make have nothing to do with excellence - they have everything to do with beating someone else.
That kind of win is impregnated with fear and laced with a pride which eats you from the outside just as the fear eats you from the inside. That kind of win is predicated on the belief of the inferiority of another person.
It is a hollow win. A win which is fragile and friable. Those wins are silly at best and corrosive at worst. And they bring out the worst in everyone.
I write this because lately I have been thinking about this nonsense around winning thanks to the Ukraine war. People, once again, manipulated into a sense of superiority and virtue signalling nonsense. It is like Covid all over again, but this time instead of 'saving lives' at no matter what cost, it is about killing people. And blaming people. It is really quite gross.
Today - I am going to reset things again.
Over the past week I have done lots with finance and lots with elements. I will give one last final push with elements - sorting out the website and promoting Macha.
And then March begins and I begin with the beginning in earnest.
