Blades of Grass

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

You will all remember about the hammer that pounds down the nail and its meaning but I have a new one I found that is kind of cool. It is, “Snick off the heads of any blades of grass that rise higher than the rest of the lawn.” - unknown

I am not sure that this saying, meme or quote, is actually a good one or beneficial in learning, accumulating knowledge, analyzing and synthesizing as well as doing things because it means one must remain a part of the group and not rock the boat. In reality,  there are times you don’t want your head higher than that of others especially in your own tribe but then again there are times when you want to learn, understand and be enlightened. 

Here is the way I see, perceive, it, you raise your head up higher through the support of those around you, make it their effort that puts your blade of grass higher that the lawn, the people who are supporting you. Part of it is how that type of action benefits you, them and the tribe and if it creates a tribal blade of grass that would stand taller than other tribes - well - you know what that means now, right?

Here once again we have survival, all kinds, including the mundane, the minimalistic and the great. There is a balance her and using such compliance principles are but one way to achieve this goal.

When the lawn mower is heard powering up and the blade spinning around whistling the air in preparation to cut the lawn is when you hold back, reconsider and then analyze and synthesize a more apropos way of mutual beneficial tribal connected ways of rising higher on their support to reside on their shoulders. This is how leadership is found, implemented and respected in the tribe. 

Maybe the hammer and nail along with the blade, the lawn and the mower there is more than the snippet of meme-like rendering that would put this increased meaning and understanding into proper perspective. Hmmmm … a metaphor?

Too avoid being cut off at the neck one must apply their skills in a way that the other blades of grass don’t consider the actions detrimental to them or the tribe, the lawn.
