Why are slaughterhouses not celebrated? Because slaughterhouses reveal the truth most people would rather not face. Societies celebrate meals, traditions, and profits, but hide the violence required to produce them. If slaughter were morally comfortable, it would not need walls, euphemisms, and distance. Its concealment is part of the argument against it.

"Better a known rival than an unpredictable friend." - Futurist Jim Carroll

There's a lot of talk online about what happens when partnerships become unstable.

When one side of a partnership slides over the abyss of rationality, into a mindset of madness.

When what was once reliable becomes volatile, when the predictable becomes uncertain, and the rational, irrational.

And the lesson is that you have to pick your partners carefully.

Strategically.

Wisely.

With caution.

With due diligence.

With both eyes wide open and elbows up.

You'll never move forward if you keep trying to rely on a relationship that has become untenable.

Partnership involves predictable, rational action.

And when that disappears, so should the reliance on the partnership - because it becomes time to form new ones.

Those partnerships might involve choices that, in an old world, might not have made sense but, in a new world, demand attention.

That's simply reality!

----

Futurist Jim Carroll often speaks about the importance of organizations to develop the capability for 'fast partnerships.' He realizes it now applies to nations, too.

These are all choices, Tzar #Bovino.

You speak of #consequences. Where are the consequences of these choices—beyond the death, grief, and terror gripping our communities?

So: yes. We will continue to call out the #villains, the #kidnappers, the #murderers, and all those who engage in these #Gestapo tactics in our streets in defiance of our #freedom, our norms, and our laws.

You would be well advised, Bovino, to consider the consequences of your own #choices. For they, too, are inevitable.

Played around with a trail photo (from my forest walk).

[ Choices By #NikkiGiovanni.

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do

It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do

If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want

Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral

When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal

I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry. ]

VAD fosters compassion, community, communication, and better end of life and death outcomes.

Don't believe the religious hysterical hype - VAD is opt-in and offers genuine choice for those who meet the criteria.

Advocacy and support from non-medical workers - like end of life doulas - can make the process even smoother for everyone involved. Got questions? I'm here to help.

My need to conform to others expectations kept me failing and stuck at almost every turn. No matter what I did I could never make others happy.

Do you know what I was successful at?

Making myself completely miserable.

I wouldn't recommend this way of doing things. However, I did learn a ton from it, not the least of which was that even if I did manage to do what they wanted, they still weren't going to be happy.

You don't have to live like this.

Find the power within you to make a new choice, take your power back, and start again. I did.

Love to all.

On one hand I like the idea of #informing #consumers about the #climate and other #environmental impacts of their #choices.

In the other hand, this perpetrates the removal of #responsibility of #corporations and dumps it back on #individuals.
