The glass ceiling of aspiration

At the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin commented,

In my view, if we are to really be effective, the environment-progressive movement must align together to inspire mainstream commitment to evolving a life-affirming culture, actively caring for people and planet.

Transitioning to a life-affirming culture is not merely a utopian ideal. It is an absolute necessity for our survival, given that we are ecologically self-destructing and have the ever-present possibility of nuclear war.

Some people immediately grasp the necessity of aligning with the intention to win, to actually succeed in evolving a society that operates within planetary boundaries. Others seem to shy away from this prospect.

I find this phenomenon interesting. I call it the glass ceiling of aspiration. This article tells more.
