Flik
Best of intentions... belief in outcomes, persistence through doubt, imagination and enthusiasm are Flik's cornerstone values.

Not content to do things the traditional way brought Flik lots of trials, through having the creativity to explore other options and the confidence in his ideas to give things a go is admirable.
How hard must it of been not to just go with the norms, face being an outcast and not one of the nest. Seen as a wacko for a while as he perfected his inventions.
 Beliving in a better life for all the nest was central to Flik's never ending enthusiasm for trying new ways.
Not all of his bright ideas worked the way he intended and some were complete disasters. But it was Flik's good for all philosophy that ensured hs success. If his main motivation was popularity and to be liked by all then certainly it he could have had that by just doing what everyone else was mindlessly doing - all the while believing it  for the best. But his true intention ws for the colony to be able to see how wonderful they were as a whole, to enjoy a better lifestyle. He found ways to see the same environment in new ways.
To be able to do that, the colony had to continue to maintain effective ways that had always been.They also believed they were doing the best for all.
So it is as a whole that we create' for without the continuing practices of the colony Flik would not have had the opportunity to  explore and create.
We all have different roles and are all valuable. All worthy and all important. Some of us maintian the status quo therefore giving the Flik's of the colony the chance to explore.
 Love who you are but also love who you are not, it is precisly becaise of them that you can be you.
