Strategical loneliness

At a public discussion yesterday whether and where to build an electricity plant based on natural wood to be built. Details and sizes were discussed, opinions exchanged but after all the real dilemma came out to the open: Alternatives to nukes take space and time to and might not look really pretty. Nobody wants them either in his neighbourhood. But in the end somebody has to decide strategically. Just like in our (software) industry where strategical decissions make you really lonely. Save the hurrahs afterwards as a reserve when they blame you for the mistakes that became obvious only later on...

ἐν μέσῳ λύκων

᾿Ιδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ὑμᾶς ὡς πρόβατα ἐν μέσῳ λύκων· γίνεσθε οὖν φρόνιμοι ὡς οἱ ὄφεις καὶ ἀκέραιοι ὡς αἱ περιστεραί.
