A Worker Who Cares for You

If a Worker is caring for you, and it’s their job, how do you tell them their ways aren’t working and let them know other ways might be worth trying? You would have to consider their Boss. Their boss has control over what the Worker does with their time, and can make up punishments so Workers are impelled by the boss to keep doing what the boss wants.

If their boss is a Self Guider, there are lots of things that would convince them to change their ways:

• If they see that a way is not making the environment thrive.
• They test to see how one way makes a thriving environment compared to another way, and choose the best one.
• Lots of people try unconventional ways of communicating how a way hinders their ability to do good and be their best (sometimes called a rebellion or starting a revolution).
• They can see their Workers are discouraged in a meeting and talk about how to make them not so discouraged.

If their boss is a Pretending Person or a Worker, then there are only certain things that will convince them to change their way:

• If they get ordered to give it a try or else they will get fired.
• If a lot of people who give them money are complaining.

Sometimes a Worker will “try” to stop you from doing something you both know is healthy and helps you to become a better person, like helping the Worker sweep the floor, or training for an emergency situation by jumping off a tall thing. They don’t actually stop you, however, and instead let you do it. Their boss has made a Rule that they should stop people like you from doing that action, even though anyone who knows you knows that you are able to handle it. You have to watch them closely to see if they are telling you not to do something because it’s their job. If you tell other people the Worker let you do that healthy activity when they should have stopped you, the Worker may get in trouble with their boss. They will probably not realize that you are trying to help them understand that, since nothing went wrong, it might be good to let you and others do it in the future.

Whoever made the rule might not be an Everything Knower, Self Guider, Wise Leader, or even a Learner. They might be a Worker or even someone who is Pretending! If anything bad were to happen from you doing the act anyway, the Boss or Rule Maker would hear about it. They would be mad at the Worker who was caring for you. If more bad things happened, the Worker could lose their job and not have money to afford food or a home. If something good happened when you did the act that helped you achieve your potential and do good in the future, the Rule Maker would not hear about it and may not even care, since lots of Bosses are Workers or Pretending People.

Disappointingly, the Worker would not be rewarded, nor would they have helped to influence the future decisions of the Rule Maker if something really good had actually come about from your action. Bosses are usually Workers or Pretending People so they won’t be interested anyway.
