Afternoon Edition: The Observer Effect...

If you've been at college any length of time you've heard of the observer effect or the Hawthorne effect. The observer effect generally states, "the act of observation changes what's being observed". So basically if some one continuously stares at you and you know your being stared at then your going to act funny. 

Having this blog or just having certain people around changes the environment. And, that is worrisome! It's worrisome simply because doesn't give a natural picture of how things really are. Although I have say that it's a good thing that people are self conscious; its a sign that your human or have a heart. A sign that you have the ability to care or be concerned. 

And, I think that's what's important now is to care not because someone is telling you but because you care about yourself.  That's not a threat or anything of that nature. What it is, is recognizing that there is no right or wrong person or anything like that. For everytime you point a finger; there is double that pointing back at you. It's recognizing that there is only compromise or destruction. It's recognizing that I don't want to hurt anybody (because maybe it will come back around to you) and it recognizing that you don't want to be hurt. 

As usual things aren't looking good. Something is brewing and coming from an old angle and an actually old angle. Targets are being made. And, eyes are watching from multiple locations. I know what it's like to embarrass yourself; I did it just a few minutes ago. Well, I know I can let the shame go but as we all know, some folks just don't let go of somethings so easily. You can feel the happiness and calmness of some people. When they are caught up, they want to be far away from you but there is atleast a 90% chance that sooner or later they are going to pop up with some more shit. It's exhausting! I guess some folks have the luxury, time and money to waste on stupid shit. At this point I have 0.14 cents in the bank, I'm not in good shape now. 

And, boy am I exhausted! If there is a lesson that I want to put to people today, there would be more than one but I just do have the energy today. But, I will say, always watch your middle; your heart, your stomach, and your dick. Then translate that into other parts of your life. Protect your employees not just from other people but protective them from themselves if they are truly your representatives. I know a lot of people who cross over to the "dark side" and have egos bigger than kilimanjaro. 

And, the last thing I would say is never be afraid to think out of the box. Learn from your enemies; use their ideas but the right way. Keep your heart open and just be good. We have enough bad stuff out there. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
