However, that same caregiver can sometimes take that position of power over others too far...strapping someone to a bed or injecting them with a heavy sedative or worse. Those same teachers can also be overly controlling, interfering with a child's innate curiosity and natural love of learning. A fine balance indeed between independence and dependence must be struck, and even then, we can slip and fall.

group processing has tremendous value
but how do control the control freaks?????

it is nice to hear an orchestra as opposed to a solo instrument

we are all one as opposed to i am the one
somewhere in the middle there is the keeper of a sacred balance
where the good of all is balanced with the free will of the individual

yes we should mind our own business
but the kindergarten teacher must keep her children safe

the caregiver must keep the elderly out of harms way

and we must learn to sometimes give the person a fish and other times teach them to fish

may the great spirit guide me in wise ways
peace out
goldwing mike
