There’s the peers path, this one seems safe and familiar. It’s full of the me too’s of shared experience. But often me too’s are of shared suffering of disconnected relationships, illness, back pain and what’s wrong with people who don’t think like us.

There’s the praise path, this path is often intoxicating as first we acted and got applause. Now we act for the applause and find ourselves pandering to it. It controls our choices and so direction. We are blown where ever the wind takes us and physically suffer, first only when the applause is silent then always as we see the difference between acceptance and entertainment.

Would we see more clearly that not distributing the food evenly was not only wrong it was sabotaging the whole?

Would we see that deaths due to poor distribution of abundant resources like water, shelter, food, education, health care was not just barbaric but that fixing this problem today would transform the whole spaceship for the better with more minds, more travel, more innovation, more communication and more love?

Would we better understand that how we treat other people has ripple effects that set the tone for the whole crew?
