Zero Soon Game or Non-Zero Sum Game



Growth! Growth! Growth! is a cry that surrounds; and because everyone's shouting it, lets not be left behind and perhaps be slowfound.

A GDP made up of of transactions, actually many a transactions; both billed and unbilled transactions.

Billed transactions made up nouns and decisions; unbilled transactions made up of verbs and creativity, collaboration & discussions.
Gap between billed and unbilled transactions is the holy grail; for it defines nation's productivity, and the have and the have-not trail.

The gap is elastic with social capital; that is trust, love, compassion, friendliness, joy and the principles.
When social capital bankruptcy looms; maximum hoardings of all kind blooms.

"Me" over "others", "valuation" over "values" take centre stage, welcome to the world of fend-for-yourself, the new sage.

We all want change, and we all want to grow; seeds that deep polarization of politics and cut-throat corporations perhaps can't sow.
Growth needs to be meditated and defined further; else we are digging our heels into the obvious, further and further.
what growth is it if we don't grow on the inside?, what growth is it where reason is motivated and only takes side.
what growth is it if brand's principal job is to make you feel incomplete-inadequate; and then perhaps appear the messiah and the predicate.

what growth is it if we don't know the history of money, its centrality, its addiction; and we are just rushing for more of its affiliation.

are we ready to see humans as opportunities at any cost?; hence maybe somebody is also making you a scapegoat, stop and hear the accost.
Virtues ain't options anymore; and if you are a keen eye, i don't need to explain it more.

We can blink and say its not a zero sum game, but if we meditate enough then its a zero soon game.

Blame is a narrow, never-ending and one way lame; everything is in our hand, both the pride and the shame.
We can start with replenishment of social capital, and we don't need no authority's charitable.

A path that helps in self-awareness, and helps you truly know the one you have been carrying along for so long.
This will help you find meaning and needs in the right prism; and strip you off from the prisons of myriad "ism(s)".
This will help you make all your conversations cordial; as you shall have more friends who together want the primordial,
This will help you become humble with your reasons; as you see a child in every person around you who is lost forever in treasons.
This will help you become open and more creative; as you shall now yield for the individual and also the collective.

Virtues or Social Capital is the only non-zero sum game.

My belief is that with increase in social capital, the country's GDP can easily grow double digit without major investments.

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...
