Vision
Interconnected Interdependence
Vision is about creating the future we want not problem-solving on what we don’t like. Problem solving is talked about as ending something we want to end – vision is based on what we do want.
When we focus on what connects us we are a part of everyone else and everything else. None of use can change the world on our own, we will be more likely to create such change if we learn to focus through the lens of our collective interdependence and interconnectedness
This also requires that we build trust not just during times of crisis as seen through tools and mechanisms but as a way of being. The seeds of cooperation cannot simply bet planted and then left to grow on their own. Cooperation must be nurtured and tended to.
