And yet, all of life is relative to the perspective from which we see it and experience it. And there are infinitely many perspectives, none of which are complete or perfect except for one.

The difference between a process flow on paper and how it works in reality is greatly influenced by the complex interactions of all the perspectives of the personnel in the process. It is therefore wise to consider these perspectives and work to continuously improve them. (See “Motivation”, “Morale” and “Training” in the ISO or other standard …)

I loved your summary of Plato’s Allegory! I, too am a student of philosophy, a “lifer!” Plato’s work was dedicated to the notion that Truth must be experienced rather than told because language is inadequate in the attempt to convey belief. In the metaphor of the cave, language is the vaguest shadow of reality. You can learn much more about this in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming): Communication is only 7% words; 38% tonality/modality; and 55% physical expression. I must add, however that Aristotle taught us how to make the most of words by communicating in the form of metaphor. He said, “The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor. It is the sign of genius.”

Interesting comment, Jon. I am not sure I agree but need to think some more. As usual you have given me something to think about.

I’m reading Light on Life by BKS Iyengar.
All we perceive as reality is shadow, Ron.

Okay — my all time favorite Philosophers are William James, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Soren Kierkegaard.

James is an American Pragmatist; Wittgenstein revolutionized the world of mathematics, language, and eventually computer science, and Kierkegaard’s Christianity is inspiring and has actually influenced much of Leadership literature today.

Very nice, ron.
