As we are entering a new year;
I will leave you with some food for thought:
The 4th dimension of humanity is the Emergent Behavior; the “collective power”, the extra separate being that emerges out of “people working together”.
Like ant colonies building complex ecosystems…and traffic jams appearing and disappearing out of nowhere. (I had to use examples from nature and modern life…)
The fact that we are all part of Emergent Systems…or…Something Bigger Than Ourselves is nothing new.
What’s hard for us as self-contained individuals to understand is how our behavior directly effects how this Emergent Larger Being behaves, evolves, destroys and builds…families, companies and entire societies and nations.
A moral of this story:
We all have to take responsibility for our part of the problem or solution.
Because not doing so is like a heart cell deciding not to pump blood or a nerve cell deciding not to fire.
And if these cells then decide to reproduce out of control, they become a cancer that can destroy the very body or – Emergent Larger Being – that keeps all of us alive.
I hope we will all do our part, and take responsibility of our part of the problem or the solution.
Peace and good health.
