All the controversy that is being stirred up is because there is a deep truth which we are being compelled to discover.
It has to do with living in one world and making sure that everyone has access to the resources they need to take care of themselves.
Living in cooperation and respect is the best way to insure this state of existence.
We all have immense abilities to be inventive and to share our resources and solutions.
Our best is a mix of all available ideas and applications.
As we refine them, the most workable ones remain to be implemented.
In reading about cooperatives, I am impressed by how everyone’s contribution is valued all the way from administration to implementation.
The folks making things are as valued as the folks taking orders.
The folks designing advertising are as valued as the sales force.
The folks designing the products and services are as valued as the managers and administrators.
Everyone’s effort is seen as equally valuable and necessary.
So everyone is valued in making decisions for the company.
Cooperatives are seen as one of the most stable kinds of companies.
The most widespread demonstration of this is in the Basque region of Spain, in Mondragon, where even during the harshest economic times, Mondragon and its many cooperatives have continued to thrive for decades.
We can all begin to look at one another as valued community members and find ways of governing ourselves which include a good way of life for everyone.
