Hi Paul
Thanks for your feedback and your support - and, yes, I hope that we and others can find a way to move forward…
I love RSA Animate - simply sublime - if I could add illustrations here on LinkedIn I would. One of the reasons I use verse is to make for easy reading
Based on my comments thus far and bearing in mind your responses - a summary of my thoughts at this stage - in verse:
I need to eat and I need to drink
I need to sleep and I want to think
I want a home and I need a nest
I want a bed and I need to rest
I want to feast and I need to eat
I want fine wine and my thirst is sweet
I want what I acquire and I need what I require
My wish lists grow with every new desire
My needs and my wants have all been mapped
The me first treadmill turns and I am trapped
But – me and they and you - we are we
We need the same and I want to see
How my hopes and dreams align with us all in mind
Our needs and our wants - can they be combined?
We want to be free and we need laws and orders
We want to run free so do we need walls and borders?
We want to be free and we want to be fair
We need a fair share and we need to share
We need a lot and we want much more
We want to be rich rather than be poor
We want to look good and we need beauty sleep
We want to feel great and we need good upkeep
We fear at night and we fear at day
We want and need to keep our fears at bay
We want for love and we need affection
We want for safety and we need protection
We want happiness and we need contentment
We grow with kindness and wilt with resentment
We need our world and we need its health
We need our world and we need its wealth
We share our world and we want good health
We share our world and we want some wealth
We share our needs and our humanity
We share our dreams of equanimity
We share our world – in excess or in sobriety
We share information – genetic and society
We are connected – one and all - each and every one
So can our moods be raised and dashed in unison?
“The message is the medium” Marshall McLuhan presciently said
“News, more than art, is artifact” he foretold - glancing up ahead
So can ‘good’ news be harvested and spread to ease the sense of doom?
And can this ‘feel good’ factor be deployed to counteract the gloom?
An earning stream of activity celebrating creativity and achievement
A new approach to nurture skill fostering fulsome growth and attainment
Filling hearts and minds with rhythmic beats and kindly contemplation
A sense of wellbeing and a chance to earn respect and consideration
A purposeful project and opportunity for design and creation
A new way to energize talent fulfilling expectation
Energies channeled for the good of all in full participation
A valued stream of just reward – in currency and in reputation
Profits gained and livings earned can be wholesomely obtained
Knowledge shared and thinking learned can be holistically attained
Purposeful interaction and much more that’s good and new
Co-design and co-create in co-operation – isn’t that what we need to do?
Best
