A friend wrote me about her dilemma. She owns a company employing hundreds of people and is a staunch critic of that-which-shall-not-be-named. She said she has been trying to fly under the radar until sanity is restored, but with looming mandates for large employers, the radar will soon turn on her. What will she do?
I will share with you the inner monologue that her note provoked in me.
A return to sanity? Sanity will not be restored for us by others. We are the ones that must restore it. We cannot wait for others to be brave on our behalf. We are here in this initiatory moment to choose who we are. The choice of whether to capitulate or to act is a declaration: Who am I to be? What is the world to be?

Through my choice, I will know myself as I am. I will become as I choose. The rehearsal is over.
Many people trust the authorities and willingly comply with their rules. They face no dilemma, no initiatory moment, no self-defining world-creating choice point, not yet.

“I will share with you the inner monologue...” Thank you for sharing. I pity the person stuck in this boring inner monologue that lacks reason, hope and facts. The only way out the boring inner monologue is to look up the term “despair” in the dictionary.
1. Go to great lengths to make announcements about the OSHA requirements, but ignore them.
2. Grant religious exemptions to anyone who asks for one.
3. Sell the company.
4. Fire all democrats until you are down to 99 employees.
5. Split the company into subsidiaries, so not one has more than 99 employees.
