FOUR FEATURES OF A "VISION"
FOUR FEATURES OF A "VISION"
What cannot eat, dies. Same goes for what does not drink or breathe.
These three support bases sustain systems in life along with excretion.
Sunshine, exercise, interactions help improve life's quality, but are not as fundamentally essential to the process of life's sustentation, as the four features named above .
Labor is among the most vital of all the interactions among humans, as food, water, shelter, clothing, child rearing, defense, all acculturation, etc., must be systematized in some manner, under some viable aegis: family, tribe, city, nation, standard, religion, language, philosophy, as agglutinating forces of some kind.
Coordinated labor is the solid bed where, upon which, life's anchors must successively rest, to stabilize, to resupply, human vessels when they are navigating to destinations.
But coordinated labor demands an overarching design or some vision, since "where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he." Prov. 29:18.
Any vision or overarching design, whatsoever, that does not address the four basic features of a solid bed upon which coordinated human labors may periodically anchor, rest, stabilize, resupply, in route, namely: food, drink, breath, excretion, at an absolute minimum, is doomed to end up in some dung heap of desuetude, abandoned .
On the other hand, systematically addressing these four critical features may assure successful implementation of the vision, for then, the people will have energy to work. Energy is as needed as will!
