[MD] The need for quality

[Dan Glover]

Hi Adrie,

I don't think avoidance comes into play so far as purpose except in
the contrary. What I mean is that when money and work become the
purpose we are avoiding what is true and real and meaningful in life.
There is nothing fanciful about purpose nor does a person have to be
exceptionally intelligent to discover it.

Yes. Framing. But isn't framing more a matter of cultural patterns
constraining our lives into what others believe is important? For
example, perhaps a girl comes of age dreaming of becoming an actor.
But because her family sees that choice as fanciful they steer her,
frame her, into becoming a good girl who does as others want. A girl
who doesn't follow her heart. She spends her life unhappily married
and when her children are born she repeats the process by instilling
in them the same shallow thinking.

Most would agree how a student doing exceptional work is deserving of
a better grade than those doing less. In the same fashion, an employee
doing exceptional work would be seen as deserving better pay than
those doing less. In this fashion, people are indoctrinated into a
culture of earning. Those who for perhaps reasons of their own go on
to fail at the game are denounced as losers, those back of the class
kids for who Robert Pirsig felt such affinity.

I am sorry to hear of your health issues, Adrie. And I hope Cloud
Atlas provides you with as much enjoyment as it did me.

Thank you,

Dan
