Greetings dear Alfred,
I have to tell fellow learners that upon reading this beautiful
explanation, i phoned you to ask whether you were regurgitating my
articulation or really understood it all. Your answer convinced me that it
was not lip-talk.
I myself was tacitly aware of this rythm for the better part of my life.
But when others began to articulate that change has to be maximised, i
began to realise that i will have to articulate it differently. It is like
driving a car. Stepping on the accelerator pedal all the time will lead to
an accident as sure as i am now writing. That is why cars are also fitted
with a break pedal.
There is a tar rood [road?] which crosses the Bushmanland desert. One part
of it is 120km straight. It is possible to travel on this road at very
high speeds. Many try to do it because they do not want to be reminded
that they are travelling through a desert. Unfortunately this desert is
also very hot and the radiators of many cars cannot keep up with the heat
developed (entropy production) when the accelerator pedal is stepped down
for such a long time.
Take a guess which cars do not make it? Those expensive brands which sell
for their very high accelerating performances! It reminds me of the
world's economy which seems to be in a depression like in the thirties,
although no economist of high performance wants to admit it. Doing
business in a depression is like driving on that tar road through the
desert. The best is to travel at low speeds, stop frequently and see what
life the seemingly liveless desert has.
>Change has always a pattern to it
That is for sure. It is a serious Mental Model that change has no
intrinsic pattern to it.
With care and best wishes
