SR - focus on matters of importance .... was: Old subject

[Bob Dewart]

Are you saying that recognizing peoples accomplishments is unimportant?  Are
you saying that the part where the Crown calls that person into Court is
unimportant?

My point is THIS:  If if it isn't taken care of it won't be taken care of.
Someone is working on the name.
Someone is working on the legal stuff.
Someone if working on the heraldy.
Someone is working on the vote.
And I'm sure someone is working on a bunch of other things too.
It just seems that no one gives the south end of a north bound rodant about
the awards regalia.

Which brings me back to the orignal statement.

Talk to the Sable Scroll if you want to know more about the golden calf
thing.

thanks, over the years i've seen many important endevours get bogged down /
mis-
directed when the people involved lost sight of the important matters at
hand
and focused on the non-important (or were consciously redirected to them to
derail) .  in this case, the comment was directed to the point that there
are
more important matters at hand than creation of stocks of simple physical
things ... call it the "golden calf syndrome".

i've seen pre-ansteorra pull together and hive off as a principality (with
far
fewer people than this region).  the important work got done as it needed to
get done.  when there was a excess of available resources, they were
directed
to the secondary things (as in this case, the creation of physical awards
...
creation of "consumer goods" always comes after the new social structures
are
stable).  ... and later things grew into a kingdom.

it's all a natural and healthy evolutionary progression, that happens as it
happens.

all in all, it's interesting being able to watch the same process, occuring
in
the in the same locations, in a similar but quite different population, with
differing reasons for hive-off, all observed from a similar vantage point.
someday i really should write it all up as a compare / contrast.

have patience all, what is necessary to be done, will be done as it is
needed
... it would be a mistake to impose timetables on the process.

want
to form, you have to go to the fire and work your will upon the metal, if
you
want to remove defects, you must heat and work,  if you want truth, toss it
all
in the athanor and see what's left after the refining
