I the ProspectorsUpdated: January 8th, 2015
Created: July 30th, 2013I notice that I often fall into the trap of using the third person pronoun 'you' or at least imply it especially as it's all to easy to use it as the third person plural when referring to a group of individuals who co-operate to use resources.
This is slack of me and only encourages a lack of personal responsibility. In my day to day routines it is easy for me to dismiss individuality, but the trust only deals with individuals on the basis that it is the individual that consumes and there is only one acre of land per individual to exploit.
In terms of bring things onto the land a single person must be completely responsible for their personal assets in relationship to the trust, which is the basis of a contract.
In relationship to bringing the caravan on to the land there is no clear idea of whom it belongs to and no contract.
The idea of brining a caravan on to the land for a short time is to provide temporary shelter for equipment and self whilst experimenting with using the land to grow crops. The success of this being a prerequisite to preparing a year+ contract and to understand the responsibilities of becoming a trustee of the land.
The caravan has been here for a month and of no use to man or beast so the question of responsibility is stretched and the idea of contract blurred.
None of this is a good or bad thing and small steps are encouraging. Still I would have preferred there not to be a caravan in the field without a clear contract with an individual as to it's reason to be there.
I don't know who I'm talking to J or J
Clearly I need to be more careful and not be dragged into a third person dialogue, as once action has been taken either I have to do something about it or regress to thinking someone else is responsible.
