Caco pod in Venezuela
After talking about the value of work itself over results last night, I ended up with possibly some results from the value of my work. For some time now I have tried to explain to persons that I am not opposing ROTC programs on university campuses but the teaching of military values over religious values and the teaching of means of war, like ‘reflexive killing’ that contradicts moral and ethical values on campus. Persons keep trying to pin me as anti-ROTC and when they finally understand what I am trying to say they ignore me.
The other day I thought the same thing was happening when I had a long conversation with an editor of a newspaper. As soon as he understood what I was saying he said he had to get off the phone. I valued my work at his understanding and moved on. However, today he called to say that he had some extra room in the newspaper coming up and asked me for an article on this issue of teaching war on a college campus. It was a welcomed and unexpected result.
If it works out, I will be more pleased than normally I am with publishing my work because the results were unexpected. To write, to act, to do what you believe is right without expectation of ‘results’ make the achievement of results much sweeter.
