this thought has been meandering around the myriad twists and turns of my assorted gyri and sulci for a while now...
why does KB resonate within me...why do i like this serial so much???
i have put some views in some threads before..but this is prolly one of the main ones....
i like this view of india in flux today..the world of old butting..(oh pulleeze..is THIS allowed??? )heads with the world of the new..ideas, thoughts, traditions,lifestyles, aspirations..colliding against each other..finding a middle existential ground....and this leads to change..in minds, society and eventually community..for better or worse,only time can tell...but change does, will and has to occur..the only things that never changes is the fact that change is inevitable...
reading up on change in social, societal structures(wiki is becoming a fast friend these days..with all the infintely.. loopy research i am doing..)i came across some fantastic quotes..
ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER:
Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal...IOW..that is the only constant
EDWIN H. FRIEDMAN:
The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech....Aaah!! the list of people that can be coagulated(and i find this term apropos) here..among others..fictional or otherwise...Materinblinkers, Honeymooning Mariana..aka Dolly Chachi..Marianna..coz of the trenches she digs when she opens her mouth...
FELIX ADLER:
We cannot adopt the way of living that was satisfactory a hundred years ago. The world in which we live has changed, and we must change with it...Yes!Yes!Yes!..The conflict in a quintessential nutshell..which then leads to...
SAUL ALINSKY:
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict...and this then..segues into...
PETER F. DRUCKER:
Society, community, family are all conserving institutions. They try to maintain stability, and to prevent, or at least to slow down, change. But the organization of the post-capitalist society of organizations is a destabilizer. Because its function is to put knowledge to work -- on tools, processes, and products; on work; on knowledge itself -- it must be organized for constant change.
PETER SENGE:
New insights fail to get put into practice because they conflict with deeply held internal images of how the world works ... images that limit us to familiar ways of thinking and acting. That is why the discipline of managing mental models -- surfacing, testing, and improving our internal pictures of how the world works -- promises to be a major breakthrough for learning organizations.
so..basically..when there are sooo many famous people saying soo many things about change..why am i even attempting to add my 50c (inflation ka zamaana hai bhai../ns..😉 )..to their outpourings...
debate..free speech..an exchange of ideas..whether one agrees with them or not...is one of the essential platforms upon which change builds itself..if one offers an opinion..as in the case of Materinblinkers..and others...one should be in full readiness to expect a rebuttal..which Pater S will offer/offers have been made prev..but the reception to ideas that do not conform with dogmatically held ones..elicit the strangest of reactions..ghar chod ke jaana..lockdowns..of an emotional sort..among other things..using emotions/affection as a means of holding a situation hostage..in the hope that things will stay status quo...
THAT is the biggest delusion of all..!! we cannot stop things from moving than we could hold water in our bare hands..we have a platform here..lets get our thoughts to collide...what fun!! there should not be agreement, but there should be respect for a contrary opinion..and most imp..ly..be prepared..'coz there is someone else out there who is spending countless more hours on research and study..on many sources and have a lot more access to info than some of us others..and be prepared to have that opinion challenged..
This is what the world of KB shows us..esp my man high on sighs!! 😳 ..who is sincerely following the dictum of a certain M.K. Gandhi..by be..ing the change he wants to see..in the world around him..
and here..i have to say..that there will be one constant..or at least one hopes that it will stay constant (😉 ..i do so...adore him!!!!!
