“Clients From Hell” [Reflections on Sun Tsu's Art Of War #12-1C]
“The ‘Teachers’ and ‘Perceivers’ are
Worst clients one could find – ‘A star
I think I am; I can’t be taught;
I’m best-of-breed who’s upright walked’.“They only learn in crash and burn;
But when propped up, they haven’t learned,
But just go back to life before,
And selves they love – now, even more”.So said consultant I once knew;
Perhaps description fits for you,
Or someone whom you love today;
If so, on “Crisis” issue stay.Sun Tzu said “Crisis”, “Panic” are
Distractions useful – sometimes jar
Opposing armies, leave them stunned,
Which gives the other, battle won.He says that’s true in uses five,
So we should think how to survive
When crisis hits – why, “Pinwheel’s pin”,
Or “Frozen lake” – on ice begin –To live our lives above the fray,
So we stay calm, and seek a way
To carry on in life, despite
Realities of the current fight.The Kingdom-layer gives place to stand
Midst crisis tearing up the land;
God’s blessing for the midst of fuss
World loves to make to be “Just-us”.Thanks Lord for this.
