The Oyster Tribe
Have you
noticed how very few organizations, unless they are involved with seafood, use
an oyster as their logo?
The main
reason is that oysters do not do anything. They sit on the bottom of the ocean
or river, with their mouth open, calling out “Feed me, feed me.” It’s not very
inspiring as an example. The only time they produce something of value, like a
pearl, is if something starts to irritate them. A grain of sand makes them
uncomfortable, so they cover it up and a pearl is formed.
The
internet has brought forward many wonderful things for us to explore and
experience but there are some downsides. The mental or moral, cripples who make
and spread viruses are one example. Another is the number of people who have
developed a ‘something for nothing’ attitude, like the oyster. “Feed me, feed
me” they cry, “Give me everything for nothing.”
Why would
anyone want to get something that has no value? Why would anyone think that
they should get something of value for nothing? Where else in your life does
that happen as a regular occurrence?
Please
expect there to be an energy exchange, it may not always be money, offer some
creative suggestions but do not devalue the work that has gone into making an
internet offering by expecting to just be given it.
