Seriously

Well, I think it's about time that I became a little more serious and
a little bit more sincere about this blog, which I have given up on
at least twice, because I sort of felt it was a rant going nowhere,
basically.  But I have written frequently that the approach to decision
making based on conflict and confrontation is inherently weak, but
in addressing the real solutions to this difficulty, I expressed how
solutions seemed mostly intractable, or at least very difficult.

So I will offer one relatively simple idea, which can be easily applied
immediately.  Those bodies which have been set up for collective
deliberation need to address their behavior.  When anyone enters
these bodies, these environments for addressing the collective concerns
of societies and states, they must drop this posture of confrontation
and attack.   In other words, what ever their perspectives, views,
or agendas may be, however praiseworthy they may appear, they
must drop that all, and allow for a collective process which is
freed from preconceived views or opinions.  In other words if they
are of one party or another which may have some kind of agenda,
they most drop all that at the door, and commit themselves to
being open, considerate, and responsive to their colleagues above
all else.  They must in no way assume or suggest that they are in
possession of the right course of action or even the right course
of deliberation.  In other words, each one must put the other one,
 above themselves.  ( I hope that sentence is clear enough). If they
are not capable of achieving such a state then their best course of action
is to remain attentive, so that they might develop those skills
required to achieve the ability to work, act, and behave
in that manner that assumes collectively they may achieve solutions
of better quality than they could achieve individually.   And beyond
 that, the entire electorate must be supportive in what ever way is
possible of that kind of behavior.


It requires a commitment, however, but I trust these efforts are
reasonable and achievable, everywhere.  This simple effort I believe
can have dramatic and significant effects beneficial for all of us.
I finally, I also trust that following this suggestion that
strange quality ( the light of truth ) , will expand and
illumine all of us.
