A collective failure to right the ship may mean we birth a new, upright ship with the hope our failures will not be fatal so we can sail again. Visioning is hard. I can see billions of individuals becoming the best versions of themselves. Unforeseen events are inevitable if those with the power to change remain stagnant.

"Shame", says Brené, "will always be in our lives because the only people who don't experience shame are those who have lost the capacity for empathy or connection." (17:48 - 17:53) We're human.

Who knew my favorite parts of the day as a young child like daydreaming, lying on the grass, snack time, recess, nap time, and learning things were all elements needed to grow a healthy brain. Do children today get to daydream or lie on the grass? What kind of downtime do adults enjoy today? Hint: it doesn’t involve a glass of wine or going out to dinner. When was the last time we let our imagination take over our brain?

Interesting that all the boxes think they have the true way and the answer to all of human life's questions. They can't all be true.
