Hollow bones and an empty heart

Everything is easier when your employees and team are your biggest fans.

If we go back to the root of the root and the source of the source of almost all the biggest issues humanity and life face it begins with that first thought of superiority over other people and life.

This little thought creates separation. With separation comes a host of other casualties: isolation, domination, cruelty, erasure, and exploitation.

When we work with people – and we all work with people – who we treat as secondary to the purpose, then the casualties of our superiority become the culture.

On the contrary, when we stand beside people, gloriously different yet acknowledging our equality of being, we arouse the flames of synergy, where the collective is infinitely better than any one person.

Everything gets easier when people flow together towards the shared purpose. Momentum builds. Coherence happens. A symphony is created.

But no, for many this standing beside is too much to ask. The tug of superiority feeds an empty beast. The irony and the tragedy is that that empty beast is only satiated in partnership with others, with life.

I watch those who hold leadership positions, many being paid obscene amounts of money, treat people and Earth like their childhood toys. Utilitarian. Throwaway. 

And I see hollow bones and an empty heart.
