Reacting is Not Enough

Why is that? Why are First Nations and the government locked in a seemingly unbreakable dance of failure and recrimination?


It is because we are reacting to crises. But these crises are symptoms of a deep-rooted, systemic problem. Shingling a roof may stop the rain for a season — but it won't help if the foundation is rotten.

Reacting = Limbic response

Proactive = planning, pro-social, neo-cortex-derived.

Deep-rooted goes deeper than we give it credit for.
