A success that excludes the whole isn’t a success. A solution that only remedies a part isn’t a solution. What’s holistic creates a timeless and unshakeable foundation. What’s compartmentalized creates agitation and furore in the suppressed and bandaided part that in time will erupt in monstrosity. Growth that’s out of tune and pace with the whole is cancerous. A cancer that soon will destroy the whole.

At this point it ought to be evident that personal success that’s disconnected from the concern of the collective is just another landfill, another Great Pacific garbage patch. It’s ironic that our contribution and gratitude to this planet is physical and emotional refuse.
