Two ministers stood by a river. One said, "The policy flows like the river, ever-changing with the tides of politics." The other said, "The policy must be like a rock, steadfast and reliable to support the people."
The Prime Minister observed and said, "Is it the river that flows, or the rock that stands still, or is it our minds caught between the two?"
Burn a blunt and reflect on this and its meaning: How do the concepts of change and stability interact? What does it mean for a policy to be both flexible and reliable? How does this balance impact governance and trust?
