I work in education. A huge bureaucracy. I didn’t fully understand this fact until recently. This bureaucracy stifles honesty, innovation and critical thinking. I have been a slave to my employer. I didn’t expect this when I went into adult education. My goal was to help people learn. Unfortunately, I have bills to pay, and, so, as many here will probably understand, am beholden. But, as I begin to wake up, and feel good in myself- like who I am, and appreciate the skill that I have, i push back. The system does not want us healthy and clear minded I realise. To survive, one has to repress one’s self . I bring up the tyranny of the employer- employee relationship because I believe that this is what holds us back from the connection of which you are speaking .
Soon, I will be free, but the better I feel, the harder it is to not speak .

As you can imagine, not speaking becomes impossible when you are no longer beholden. Retired this year.
