Somebody said we as individuals are not one but a committee of several personas which comprise our identify and determine or influence our net attitudes and perspectives and behaviors in life. Here are five sample committee members based on western astrology.
A year (or so) after I started my corporate career (at the tender age of 25), I discovered that my company’s ranking system (to give a grade to determine subsequent raises and/or promotions) was rank (having a foul or offensive smell). Why was it rank? Because I had entered it without understanding it. Having put my foot in it, I chose to outlast it as long as I could (I thought that would be a mere 5 but it turned out to be yikes! 25 years yay me! ; ) ).
That said, rank corporate ranking systems are as inevitable (and rank) as death and taxes, so, be aware and persevere.
Where would you go to talk to people who are interested in talking to people?
I don’t mean work or hobbies or organized institutions such as churches or clubs or networking or dating I mean.. well.. people of a feather who’d like to talk together?
Something beyond anecdotal extremes?
Unity.. exploring.. disputing.. in a respectful way.. “whither humanity?”
This is a concern among the generations way more than the would-be would like to present – it’s thought, feeling, spirit, more. than any age, gender, race, whatever ism you care to specify – imho ; p

Scansion: the rhythm of a line of verse
Jabberwocky: `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Bat Masterson: Back when the west was very young,
There lived a man named Masterson.
He wore a cane and derby hat,
They called him Bat, Bat Masterson.
