Grass between the toes

if I were a dog, I would chase butterflies. if I were a butterfly I would hang out with flowers. if I were a flower, I would love the sunshine and the rain. I do love the sunshine and the rain. am I a flower? am I a dog? are we all part of the whole, part of everything, part of each other? we are one organism, with separate parts, working together, but for some reason, some goal, we fulfill some small part of some big plan, that we don't understand, just like the flower, the dog, the butterfly, the rain and the sun. so why do we yearn to know more? should we just accept our position, or is our position to question? is that why we're here?

We are all a part of each other. We are all a part of everything. Therefore each person’s wellbeing affects the wellbeing of the whole. The earth’s wellbeing, the animals, the plants. When one person is sad, the whole suffers. Learns, but suffers. Learning always, a constant. Each person’s personal development enhances the development of the whole. The advancements of each person have been made by a person before, but their impact is always different. To help each other is to help everyone, and to hurt one person is to negatively impact the whole.
Friendship is a bond for eternity, if it is pure friendship. It is nothing to be taken lightly. It involves work. Effort. Selflessness. Focus on yourself no more than necessary. Knowing how much effort to reciprocate can be difficult. To invest too much in an impure friendship is to negatively impact the whole. Avoiding issues is no way to act.
These things are known. They are not mysteries. They are not newly discovered. They are as old as the earth. Do not resist them. No matter how you try to avoid such things, they will always be there. Here. in your life, just like sun, food, love, sleep. Necessary. Natural. Beautiful.
