The title reflects Yin and Yang and that in turn perhaps a difference between old schools of thought and a generation Y mindset. I wrote a few words after being particularly affected by an incident last year involving attitudes of entitlement :
"Dedicated to those who feel the need to be special despite being ordinary.
Why must I work to achieve successes?
My right is to be special with no second guesses.
Just ask my parents, my teachers, that loving lot,
From the day I was born until the day I rot.
I've had a right to the life of my choice
The world ought to cherish the sound of my voice.
Let me answer first in general
From my whims so ephemeral
You want to be a legend without first knowing tragedy
You want to experience glory without first knowing apathy
You want to win shiny medals without having first achieved
Your feel you’ve earned distinction but its yourself you’ve deceived
What you are is what you cannot even conceive.
That you drift upon an endless sea of vanity
With no destination , no sense of identity
For in your world where special is the norm
No brilliance , no radiance can truly be born.
Let me now answer specifically,
Some words to assist you professionally
What is your purpose and what is your goal?
Within this institution what is your role?
Perhaps it’s to consider the needs of others,
Putting aside the self in the place of another.
Maybe it’s not to question the quirk of a roster.
Maybe it’s not to treat patients as a bother.
So again I ask, why are you here?
To bask in your glory or perhaps, to care."
About the image: One leaf was placed, the others were all there in a year where fall in the gorge was more crispy than vibrant! Big thanks to the legend Tula Top for taking me here too!
Last post for a little bit while holidaying with the family hopefully in the snow ! (weather permitting)
