Big Fish in a Small Pond?

[Beautiful Future - III]

Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond?

Well, of course, as the adage goes, it’s better to be a big fish in a small pond. More status and power. More access to resources. More attention. More accolades. More control.

But the big pond provides security. More opportunity. More potential. More room for growth. More lateral movement. More options.

If the pond dries up, it doesn’t matter.
If the pond floods, it doesn’t matter.
If the pond gets contaminated, it doesn’t matter.

Ponds are drying up, flooding, and being poisoned everywhere.

Let’s dig a beautiful new pond. Where size doesn’t matter. Where resources are measured by their contribution to the common good. And where health is our first priority.

What’s your pond?
