Bureaucrats Comments

A good point. I can think of a few other groups that fit into this description. If only we could accept reality: “the world and everything that makes up the world in time and space, in its history, in past, present, and future. The world with matter and energy, with nature and culture, with all its wonders and terrors. Not the world where ‘all’s right, ’ in any event, but the real world in all its questionableness: with all its concreted conditions and natural catastrophes, with its concrete misery and all its pain. Animals and men in a struggle for existence: delivered up to emergence and extinction, ‘eating and being eaten.’ The world, in its ambivalence, which is so hard to accept, as Dostoyevskey describes it in his novel The Borthers Karamazov: ‘Yet would you believe it, ’ says the skeptic Ivan Karamozo to his young borther Alyosha, who has faith in God, ‘in the final result I don’t accept this world of God’s. Although I know it exists, I don’t accept it all. It’s not that I don’t accept God, you must understand, it’s the world created by Him I don’t and cannot accept”. Quote from Theology for the Third Millennium: An Ecumenical View, by Hans Küng. But you make a good point. We might need to accept them, but we don’t have to accept what they do.

This is true and I am with you here, Sandra.You did a good job..

Sandra, this is a very good subject. As a Govt. servent, I know the shortcomings and the long horns our collegues possess. I wrote a no. of poems on this subject. In fact my first poem that deviated from love, nature and beauty was on this subject only. (HONOURABLES) . Then I went on to write some more poems, like THAT RAINY DAY, VULTURES, SINECURE etc. Any no. of poems on this subject is less. Thanks for this one.Bureaucrats need to be waken up from their peevish behavior and their avarice.

Sandra, wonderfully said and true, they are all full of their self importance and fear if others are better than them, so they stand in their way of moving ahead. Top marks and thanks for sharing this with us my friend. Hugs David

There should be a special farm just for the bureaucrats, and then we would all only have to eat crow once, instead of hundreds of times a year, lol. (smile)
