Possibility Unreal Meetings

More From Dag Hammarskjold

Whoever invented the meeting must have had hollywood in mind. i think they should consider giving oscars for meetings: best meeting of the year, best supporting meeting, best meeting based on material from another meeting.
Work Thinking Years
In obedience to the feeling of reality, we shall insist that, in the analysis of propositions, nothing "unreal" is to be admitted. but, after all, if there is nothing unreal, how, it may be asked, could we admit anything unreal? the reply is that, in dealing with propositions, we are dealing in the first instance with symbols, and if we attribute significance to groups of symbols which have no significance, we shall fall into the error of admitting unrealities, in the only sense in which this is possible, namely, as objects described.
Fall Reality Errors
There are moments in life when it is all turned inside out--what is real becomes unreal, what is unreal becomes tangible, and all your levelheaded efforts to keep a tight ontological control are rendered silly and indulgent.
Real Silly Effort
A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

Things come up from the outside, the outside world says, okay, you have do this, you have to go here and here and here, and these are your options. you can be here or you can be here. you can do this, or you can do this. you can go here, or you can go there. so each one of those things becomes a place of decision, and the way we make decisions is that we all get together and if somebody doesn't feel right about it or it doesn't seem to sit right, usually we'll go with the no vote. if somebody's not comfortable with it, we'll figure it's not going to be worth doing.
Decision Together Way
Ask me to play. i'll play. ask me to shoot. i'll shoot. ask me to pass. i'll pass. ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. anything. but it's not what you ask of me. it's what i ask of myself.

Basketball Running Yesterday
If a team cannot perform with excellence at a moment's notice, they probably will fail in the long run.
Basketball Running Team
The pleasure of sport was so often the chance to indulge the cessation of time itself--the pitcher dawdling on the mound, the skier poised at the top of a mountain trail, the basketball player with the rough skin of the ball against his palm preparing for a foul shot, the tennis player at set point over his opponent--all of them savoring a moment before committing themselves to action.

I had never picked up a basketball before. i went through a grueling audition process. it was almost as if i was learning to walk. it would be like teaching somebody to dance ballet for a role.
