Values

There are significant changes we need to make in our world if we are going to survive as a species.  Survival is one thing, but flouishing is another.  How do we catalize these changes?  I believe it is going to be through giving the next few generations every opportunity to learn and grow.  Call it “education” if you will, but I think it is “the investment” in every young person needed to have them build their greatest capacities as human beings.  In culture, one could say “if a child picks up a violin now, they are more likely to support an orchestra later”.  They are also more likely to go to concerts.  We need to give these experiences- an enriched education to those who aren’t getting it-not just the privedged few who are!
