Re: [sudo-discuss] Spiritual analysis of last weeks Meeting

Dear Sudoers, what happened last week again? Everybody was excited, we had a birthday, we had awesome food and awesome people. As hackers we come to share what we are passionate about, get inspired, plan new projects, and are excellent to each other, work together on things at Sudo and plan awesome activities. But than a big rupture. A new ever returning topic comes to the agenda, the whole energy of the room fades away. The looks of the faces of the people all say the same: lets get as quickly over this point as possible. But we had to go through this for one hour, an EGO driven conversation starts. Its about regulating, rules, hypotheticals, bureaucracy, installing special sudo functions almost like police. we were arguing an hour over some trivial wording. is this really the way we want to go? Not being able to solve problems in the moment at the meetings? Or to keep the positive energy going at the meetings? Paralyzing ourselved for one hour again instead of sharing? Do we really want to loose somuch time about wording of a document which is only read by the people who wrote the document? We all enjoy coming to sudoroom. For a growing and thriving community it should be easy to tell friends about it, invite people and say "just be excellent to each other and check it out", nobody will read any commendments or laws before coming. But what would new people see at the meetings? the same uninviting left brain driven discussions we see in politics and law... Do we really want to be ruled by a police system again within our newborn community? We are all one, one community, one people, one tribe. Dont get me wrong, I dont want to blame, accuse or criticize anybody. I want to put awareness of what the Eg wants: The EGO seperates itself from all the others. The EGO wants to hang on to the old system of ruling, devide and conquer. The EGO is afraid of a world of the 'WE" We have to get over the stage of EGO driven tactics to create a truely free community. So what can we do about it? we have to show a lot of love towards the EGO driven minds. Hold em tight, say we love em, and that we appreciate their effort for the community. After all (lets hope) they have good intentions. But we also have to make it clear that we dont need all these regulations and the seperation from the rest of the world. we are one big family, and only if we accept this we can build a better future. just my personal feelings, p. _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss
