I understand what you mean. After all I am still smoking :-((( > > Can you say more about metanoia? Metanoia - greek word for "profound shift of mind". Used by Paul to refer to his own shift of mind (conversion). Used by Alberoni to refer to social metanoias or "mouvements" like in the Enlightment period. I have tried to aplly that to organizations without much sucess until now... There are some post about that in the archives.
