"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new" is a famous, likely authentic quote by Albert Einstein encouraging risk-taking and learning from errors. It reframes failures as essential, courageous steps toward innovation and personal growth, rather than signs of weakness. Indeed, action researchers welcome the mistakes they because it narrows the field of exploration.
It is also said that if wish to discover how something works set about repairing it or changing it. Changing MINDsets turns out to be a monumental task and very quickly it is discovered what needs changing is wedded to the STATUSquo given that the minds that might change have invested heavily in maintaining it. Incomes and profits are at stake.
Trees need to be honoured not left standing by necessity! There many ways to honour a tree, a coppice, a grove, a forest even! Currently trees have precious carbon in storage and relatively easily that can be preserved. However, there is more to it than that in that trees have a place in our CULTURALlandscapes and their stories give substance to 'placedness'. Mostly all of this is to do with LANDliteracy and PLANETconsciousness.
Sadly very little of this figures in 'representational governance' as the 'representatives' are self-nominated and when push comes to shove they'll defer to self-interest as that's where theire= 'investment' is located.
Politicians and bureaucrats make enormous mistakes all the time and typically that is because they lack 'expertise'. That expertise exists all around them in their Communities of Ownership and Interest. However, on the evidence, that turns out to be an inconvenient truth more often than not!
FOR THOSE ASPIRING VTO BE MORE LANDliterate
