Doing the obvious is not listening to the head. It is the example of ‘to be’
The head does not solve, it creates confusion. So that one needs it to solve them and keeping it that way. A needy on the road is not given alms till the head clears the file that he needs it or it’s an act. Then if its approved by the head, it asks for its return in kindness, the act of kindness is held, kept like money in the locker so that it keeps emanating the much needed fragrance of a good deed to solve some other thoughts which the head says are not good.
The most obvious thing done does not leave a trail, it does not emanate any fragrance/or stench its just a memory like- how fast you ran when a dog chased you .
The fear of the consequence of doing something without getting the heads nod is not real. The reason is you can become more of you but not something else through an instant/obvious act.
Heads clearance makes you something which you are not many times. If all of us do the obvious, we will see many would the so called right thing. Thinking creates wall among us hence we tend to side with the saying ‘I think therefore I am’. ‘Just do it’ is much more than just the Nike’s payoff line.
