Share - What We Really Need
This right here Everyone!
"It’s time to think about what we really need in this world and in this life. Need. We need food. Water. Shelter. That doesn’t mean the best of everything. It means enough for us to be ok.
Family. Loved ones.
Education. Not one size fits all. Not years spent practicing standardized tests. Not colleges and universities that coddle young minds and suppress debate. And more practical knowledge.
Opportunity to do meaningful work. Not a perfect job. Nothing is perfect. But meaningful work. And with dignity.
Equal rights under the law— law applied fairly to all people (and companies no longer treated as if they are above the law).
Equal rights. Not a right against being offended. Not perfectly equal distribution of every demographic in every company, office, position. But respect for others and their differences. Respect for the basic human dignity of others.
Reflection. Introspection. Some source of inspiration. Maybe yours is art. Maybe spirituality. Faith in something greater than our own individual selves. God. Nature. The universe. Wherever you see that greater force at play.
Pragmatic solutions. Not ideologies. Not political allegiances. Ideas that work, and that help people at large.
We can achieve this. We can make this a reality for all. We start now."
