I thought that a law of two feet means that any time you feel that you’re not learning and not contributing, you can use your two feet to step up and change it! )) That's what I've been going with, and it's been helpful, and encouraging me to act, take a more prominent and active position in life.So, instead of complaining, you take action, which is way more productive than shaking air in anger lol. Funny, that I was wrong, hehehe, but I think, i will stick to my misconception! Have a nice day! How funny))) All this time I misunderstood the concept.

The concert was intended to mark the 10th anniversary of Szpilman’s death and both his widow and son were among the audience. Bruzdowicz had written her piece specifically for the concert, and gave a little speech about it before it premiered. So it was with increasing mortification that I watched the Wikipedian’s apply their cultural nuance. People clapped between movements in the symphony – okay, so that’s just a snobby objection, but it gets worse. Geeks with big important-looking cameras (you know the sort) jumped out of their seats in the middle of performances and skulked around the orchestra taking photos. And perhaps worst of all, more than a dozen people exercised the law of two feet. [...] [...] The evening was a major deal.

The dilemma that derives and yet is solved from the 2 poles of PASSION & RESPONSIBILITY, reflected in principles within and around Open Space... I personally have experienced moments of true liberation and release and moments of severe frustration in this operating "culture", both equaly valuable. How much Commitment do we see/live/practise in Freedom? How much Freedom to we see/live/practise in Commitment? <br /> <br /> Thanks for this (dancing) floor! :)<br /> <br /> Maria Alex,
