Law of Initiative Fatigue

They call it a law, though no parliament passed it. Law of Initiative Fatigue is a law of behaviour, and it enforces itself.

The law describes what people actually do, not what they say they do. Watch any office, any market, any household for a month, and you will see it operating like a ceiling fan — unnoticed, constant, moving the air for everyone.

Watch how a rumour travels in a hostel: it gains one detail per room and loses one truth per floor. By the fourth floor it is unrecognisable, and by dinner it is fact.

Society is a long conversation; the only question is whether you are listening or merely waiting to speak. Write it on the wall of the mind, not the wall of the house. The house already has enough instructions.
