What lovely pictures of the beach. There's nothing like a pleasant walk along a beach to blow the cobwebs away. The water looks lovely and clear from the images.
Skyfish eh? What an intriguing piece of art you've created there. What was the inspiration for it may I ask? Or was it more a moment of spontaneous creativity? The final product is very unique and beautiful. I get a strong sense of freedom when I look at that piece of art.
I see you're sticking with the principle of leadership again, this is an important focus for you isn't it? Although this time your focus is more on the recipient of the authority and power, not the leader.
Your perspective on the subordinate provokes much procrastination. None of us really like to feel we are subordinate or even subservient to others, but, as you rightly point out, in society it is inevitable. We accept such subordination with ease as children, understandably. But as adults it becomes a more difficult thing to accept.
I am always prepared to accept a subordinate position in the company of true leaders who respect their position, as well as their subordinates. The relationship between accepting subordination, say in the workplace, and expecting respect at the same time can become a tense relationship when leaders do not perform as they should.
My word @bleujay your principles really provoke thinking and discussion. Bravo!
Greetings @peaceandmoney ,
What a lovely reply....thank you!
This beach is just as you have described...just delightful especially in Autumn.
There was a time..early in this social media journey at St__mit...Sea life was all the rage...whales, orcas, fish, minnows...thus quite inspiring....and then next thing you know they showed up in Bleujay's posts. This is one from 2017.
These are digital works that began with one of Bleujay's photographs of clouds.... @bentleycapital is where I ended up showcasing the artwork as I did not wish to overshadow the principles.
So happy to hear you found it quite to your liking....not surprised at all you would think 'freedom' when viewing it...as freedom was practically tangible in the early days of St__mit...very heady days indeed. ^__^
I just wonder if we could use a better sense of understanding of the word 'leadership' in the days to come. Some may be thrust into a leadership role, others may be under leadership with no understanding of the need for such...etc. yes...examining it from all sides.
You are correct...I really hesitate to discuss anything even associated with authority.or subordinates....always looking for synonyms, antonyms etc. to get the point across...without hitting any trigger words. Common Sense understanding is the goal.
I understand what you are saying ...there are positions of authority...some are leaders...others not so much. In any case the social mantra has been 'Respect the position not the person.' Separate the person from the position...the position is more important than the person. A better understanding of authority and its role in society...I would say that it holds a country together. Without it....unimaginable atrocities.
That being said...Principles are ideally what one would like to see adhered to from top to bottom....but when Principles are rejected at the top...collectively we shall have to pay the piper....or at the bottom...individually we suffer....this is where the need for better understanding of leadership comes in...
Thank you for dropping by...always enjoy dialoguing over Timeless Truths.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
NB That is the hoped for result....thank you for your kind encouraging words.
