Nice thoughts! In my experience it's not only people who are all connected, but all of nature is. Ecosystems is what we call it, from a planetary scale to the smallest of locations. From the fungi and bacteria in the soil to the birds in the sky. How did we humans forget we're part of that reality?
Yes,It is indeed most puzzling when one thinks from that perspective as well.In reality, life is about growth, self-enlargement and expansion. Expansion implies cathecting to others and loving. Therefore, love is life. Absence of love is death. By doing good to others, one attracts happiness and life. Brutes and rogues, who harm others, will not find happiness in this world nor in any dimension
Nice :-)
