One of the most amazing, wonderful sights in the world is where you see the perfect co-evolution of two entirely different species – a particular bird and a particular flower. The perfectly shaped beak to get nectar out of a perfectly shaped flower.
This is one of Nature’s most important lessons – integration – the formation of mutually beneficial bonds. Both parties in the relationship benefit. They aren’t competing with each other.
Doctors often say their best teachers are there patients and I’d agree with that but before I encountered patients I was taught about the human body – the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry of the body – and there’s where I return to find my teacher – the human body.
The essence of a healthy body is integration – the well differentiated parts…..cells, organs and tissues, working in perfect harmony with each other through the creation of mutually beneficial bonds.
So here’s my question – why don’t we create our societies in the same way? The more we create mutually beneficial bonds with each other, the healthier we will all be.
