So too is the remainder of life on earth, everything is connected and that's from an evolutionary 🧬 aspect. The over all ecosystem here in earth is interconnected to not see this is to not understand ones own humanity. The history of life on this planet along with it's social evolution of humanity to today.  Humanity's arrogance and inability to dethrone these rules that are driving us off a cliff... 

But is this the norm? I refuse to believe so.. if I could get to this point in my thought process... I'm slower than molasses.. I see what is needed and the unlikelyhood of that being a reality... So how would the needed education and experience be afforded to others sufficiently for them to be in an egalitarian enlightened mindset understanding that balance and communal/social aspects about shared resources and labor benefits all the most. A true leveled playing field. Nature demonstrates this... But is that sufficient.. humanity has a bad habit of trying to circumvent nature with catastrophic result.
