It seems to be that there is only a choice between the Takers and the Leavers and is that choice really possible? But what would it mean if we base our assumptions on the choice between a Takers and Leavers-mentality and a value-system based on Givers and Receivers-attitude?

So that we become more aware of Nature as a Giver and that receiving is included. Instead of trying to get more or less of it.

I didn’t write Ishmael to present people with a choice between being Leavers or Takers but to show them why Leavers had (and have) a sustainable way to live while we do not.

It’s not just a matter of choice, like deciding whether to be a Republican or a Democrat. Being a Leaver is not a matter of attitude. The speech “The New Renaissance” on this website presents (in as concise a form as I’ve been able to achieve) the future we have to be reaching for.
