Every human has its limits. Every person could extend and push limits. You don’t speak Chinese? You can learn it. It is easier for some and harder for others and of course related to the subject.
There is another thing from a society point of view: the “learning horizon“ of a group of people. This may be a town or a level within one society. Here the limits have a different nature.
The learning horizon is much harder to change. Pushing limits within group dynamics are so much harder.
The rules are a very different game. It is like trying to form jelly with a chopstick.
Leadership has no wisdom here, there is just the only way: creating a fruitful environment. Then the learning horizon appears not as a challenge to a few specific actions.
In profit oriented companies this awareness is not common. That disables the working class in its bigger share of active time. Working people have troubles to grow and push the own learning horizon because it is often not a fruitful environment at work for this kind of matter. The work force is being wasted for the today’s matters. Tomorrow is not that important. The same situation applies for the whole sustainability discussion.
Ensuring the bread for today
vs.
for the future of tomorrow.
That game we all loose today. We are not living in a fruitful environment for this kind of matter. Our leaders are anyway not elected “tomorrow“. That is also so in profit oriented companies.
But is a today‘s election process (not necessarily a democratic one) not better as the past time alternative of leaders being there based on attributes like the colour of the blood or skin?
Well, may the process was not the worst, just the attributes.
In Buddhism the “attributes“ has a very different nature.
I feel like thinking out of the box.
Could be this concept be applied to politics or organizations with e.g. an objective like profit?
