Greek Tragedy

Tragedy all right, but technically not Greek. Indian.

SABN at his always best:

... if having a skill or absence of a skill makes you have an ego, then that ego will be quashed. So if you are proud that you are not a politician, Swamy will make you realise that he is even prepared to make you even a bad guy only to constantly remind you that your work has to done in a detached fashion, the label that you get- good politician, good PR skills, bad communication skills etc actually makes no difference. If a bad label gets you more detached quickly gets you to remember your "nobodyness" quickly HE will ensure you get one in the most expeditious fashion.

Another Anonymous that is equal:

Always be sure of what you want from a particular act or service. If u wanted to serve and you have done it, it ends there. What others think or say is not your business.

Now, what's the tragedy here?This is the real tragedy: Where are these wise ones? It's sad for a society to suppress voices, especially ones that have reason. The above are too profound to be voices arrested in the dark dungeons of our organizational Darbar. But such is life.

Well, to go back to SABN, it really shouldn't matter. If Swami's way is chosen, it really doesn't matter. However, I am not talking about following dictates of the hierarchy. I am talking about thinking like generals, but accepting with equanimity, the duty of foot-soldiers.

  1. Q Where are these wise ones?

    The wise ones are both in the organisation and outside the organisation. They are quiet silent unassuming characters!!
