What people really want to do in life is participate. People really
want their lives to matter, to make a difference.
Truly there's no answer for anyone who asks why people want to
participate. People want to participate because they want to
participate.
From within that
tautology
I see that in a very real sense, we are participation.
What we need to do is rehabilitate this essential nature.
We want our participation to count. We want our lives to make a
difference. We want to be known as people whose word can be counted on
to the degree when if we say we're going to make something happen, then
you can bet everything you own it will happen.
It makes no sense at all that we should be this way, and this is the
way we turn out to be.
