Cooperation

A different way of seeing

Every person we connect with in a meaningful way changes our reality. Cooperation creates the characters in the stories we tell to bind our experiences into something we understand. A new road between two cities, shared languages stop people existing in parallel, and change how they engage with the world. I live in the English Speaking world - I know there are parallel Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, French, Swahili and Hindi worlds I only get lost in translation hints of. There are thousands of smaller pockets of cooperation whose lives are very different to mine. Hints leak through other tools of cooperation - food, art, sport and other connective paths. Through shared stories that help us see each other. Hints at alternative ways of seeing.
