Rocky just let me remind you of this months topic. What are your favorite passages in Lila
and
why?
Its non-confrontational if answered properly. It is intended to let us take a break from
intellectualizing by just saying very simply what we like about the book. It allows us to pay
more attention to the Art of quality rather than its definition. It's an attempt to balance the
dryness of past topics.
The truth comes knocking on your door and you say 'go away I'm looking for the truth'.
The fact is there are already people who have realized the problem and have begun FIXING it.
This non-intellectual topic was voted for by a majority. Four members have contributed to it
already with some of the best posts we've seen in this list, ever. It might not be precisely
what you had in mind. But we are a group and we can't possibly all expect to have our wishes
_precisely_ met or we would never accomplish anything. As a group there is value in working
together. Dynamic Quality is about looking ahead, making things better, making things happen,
taking INITIATIVE. We might not be right, but a worthwhile experiment will always teach you
something anyway.
As Forest Gump said (or at least he should have):
Quality is as quality does.
