We serve others, others serve us:
We serve one another
We are the public,
and yet because we serve one another,
we are also public servants
Public servants, whether
publicly-, privately- or, self-employed,
all have one thing in common: serving the Public
And so, resources entrusted to our care,
whether publicly-, or privately-owned,
we manage them as stewards of the public.
We create & maintain tools to serve us:
We do not serve the tools
We created & maintain systems to serve us & others:
We serve one another through systems
We do not serve the systems
That is:
The systems are intended to uplift people,
and not the other way round
Usurpers will usurp us if we let them,
we must not let them:
We must shun usurpation
Usurpers will use our systems,
the systems that we create, maintain and use,
to usurp us if we let them,
we must not let them:
We must protect our systems against usurpation
Hence, our duties as public servants and stewards:
- Serve one another, through our systems, and not serve the systems
- Shun usurpation: Be vigilant against the usurpation of:
- everyone's time, mind, body, spirit, soul, interactions, material possessions, .. .. and
- collective interactions, wealth and resources
