Thank you to show your thought process. It resonates with me.

"Do not own or control more land or structures than I absolutely need to, to operate the business."

I often discover that this is an overload. According to my perception, people tend to expect too much from themselves for the reasons you have just mentioned.

They want to control more than they can and, with the intention of keeping control, they resort to emotional and technical means. As you quite rightly say, these are the creation of fear and greed and the accumulation of material wealth, where one takes up more space than he is actually able to fill.

At the management level, means are devised to manage "quality". As we all know, this cannot go well. A lot of time and creative energy is spent on it, although it is clear that quality is always associated with human interaction and the intention of cooperation.

Instead of building bridges, we build interfaces that, if they are destructive, become walls.
