Awesome response @whatamidoing 😜

You make a really good point - the danger of becoming mindless never ceases unless we become continually mindful, and continually willing to take the 'bath of fire'.

I guess I had taken it for granted cultivating this kind of attitude, for sure community leaders always need to be willing to rebirth and rework their current solutions (and themselves). But yes, like you say - this isn't everyone's cup of tea. There can be incredibly valuable community members who don't like to constantly question everything - it's actually out of harmony for them. I have friends like this, internal change might be slow and painful for them - yet they are masters of working with established systems.

My friend 'Jeff' is distrustful of most new things, he certainly doesn't buy into my 'hippy bullshit'. Jeff is not going to rebirth his personality any time soon, but working on technical and practical problems he has an enduring patience and comprehensiveness which is somehow just as profound.

Yeah man, it really is just like you say. We just have to honor everybody and try to build communities which can use everyone's different abilities and perspectives. It takes a lot of open-ness and acceptance. I am working on being more accepting.

Would love to chat soon 😎
