What do we mean by collective thought?

It’s more or less what comes out of the synthesis of minds and individual thoughts – not an eclectic sum but the synthesis. Individual minds set for a common good, to create from the differences, to perceive differences as something that enriches the common idea.

It implies:

-         Feeling part of the whole

-         Letting others dig into you

-         Not feeling that others are the opponent but a part of the whole in equal condition

-         Respecting the opinions from others not because of discipline but because you wish to

-         Having a positive attitude to be able to see what unites us and not what brings us apart

-         Being in favour instead of against

-         Believing beforehand that others will enrich me

-         Not reacting immediately but allowing that what others have to say digs in me.
