Disciplined in-discipline


We are not perfect. There is nothing called perfection. Only God may achieve it. The Japanese exhibit this in a way. You have a perfectly mowed landscape with trees and plants meticulously shaven. What the Japanese will do is spread it around with, may be, foliage. This is to show that perfection does’nt exist. This they call perfectly imperfect.
The cosmic set-up too is extremely disciplined. Moons move around planets, planets move around the stars, stars move around galaxies and galaxies around groups. But there are indisciplined objects like quasars and pulsars which exhibit strange characteristics. Yet there is a discipline in the cosmic set-up.
In an office setting everything cannot go with military discipline. There have to be moments of camaraderie and linger and laughing and joking. It is like all work and no leisure. But if these periods extend beyond certain limits it can be harmful to the office environ which may begin to unabashedly start creating groups, exhibit prejudices and start loose talk and become gossip friendly and so on.
What probably we are looking here is disciplined in-discipline. This is not easy since there a lot of human characteristics with various hues existing in an office set-up. Probably what can come to the managements rescue here is the setting-up of targets, having training sessions, meetings. All in all keeping the staff on their toes.
