Which group ARE we in, and which group SHOULD we be in? Does it exist, or can/should we cultivate it in everything we do? The 4 groups… can you think of another?

The Four Groups

The first group of people only takes care of their own self and never of anyone else because they think it is leeching to make other people take care of you. They refuse to work with others unless there’s some sort of survival benefit they can get out of it, so they euthanize those who cannot eventually contribute to survival. They’re only focused on survival and don’t have time for thrive needs.

The second group of people never takes care of their own self but instead takes care of someone else. Nobody’s needs go unmet because everyone is taking care of someone else.

The third group of people doesn’t take care of anyone else and doesn’t take care of their own self. They leech off of the group that takes care of other people.

The fourth group takes care of their own self and takes care of other people. They only take care of the survival needs of others if the other is unable to take care of their own survival needs, so no one’s survival needs go unmet, and no one leeches off anyone else. Because of that, they have plenty of time to take care of each other’s thrive needs.
