The last town hall meeting I was invited to started with a basic incentive: yes, there was food. It was nicely laid out on a central table: guests looked at it, eagerly and somewhat impatiently, yet quietly, waiting for the main presenter to unfold the…
So, that is it, you went to join the angels, and all the other ones who had given you the mission to guide your family, with the values you had judged best, with this rage to do as much as possible so we would never lack…
