Today I had some stuff for my group dynamics class, Back and forth across the room agreeeing or dis-agreeing About concepts of leadership. What it means? How it works? Who is the leader? Who does the listening and who is listened to? Not always the one who talks the longest. Where is your balance between speaking and listening? Then there is this afternoon closing out Group Dynamics And formulating a class for World Cultures and Globalization. Amazing course. What is Globalization doing to the cultures of this very multi-cultural planet? Do not answer this question. There are many answers. What is the corporate mentality and how much longer Shall it reap its profits from the slave mentality? Super-complex, highly technological things are being created To cement the slave population into a permanent formation. The task is progressing, with various perturbations From the multitudes along the way, But nothing we couldn’t direct into another war or two or three. Maintaining a permanent state of war around the planet can be a tricky business. There is an actual war going on beneath all of the surface skirmishes That are written up in the history books. This is that old cooperation or control mantra. Where do you want to go? Cooperation or Control? I don’t care why. The difference between freedom of expression, Understanding and compassion on the one hand And the things those are not on the other. All in a day’s conversation through two classrooms and several walks down the hallways, one long, one short, and one in between.
