We are born equal, supposedly

Equity is one of life's great commonalities, but not always.

Beyond a few rather sad health related difficulties, time is one of life’s equities.


 Equity is about balance.
Time maybe evenly handed out to us all, but almost immediately we are born it becomes distorted.

Opportunity is supposedly equal, but the reality is that the circumstances of birth are so differing that our prospects appear cast even before we draw our first breath.

The world’s conservative thinkers decry the efforts of many who fail to take what they see as the endless opportunities the world offers, but neglect to acknowledge that those opportunities fall within the paradigm they understand and so know exactly how to exploit.

A Four-Hour Work Day would balance the scales as those comfortable in the profit and work-based paradigm could answer their needs and those more comfortable with a process that builds strong and resilient communities would have the time to pursue that belief.
