Synergy- Israel for example

It was late R. Buckminster Fuller who demonstrated the synergy in the way 2 equilateral triangles are hinged to another to create a fourth equilateral triangle. Synergy is the behavior of a system as a whole unpredicted by its parts.
You and I can be represented as equilateral triangles. We are both locked in a struggle to be viable in context of the rest and do we not produce something unseen by either you or me?
For example the creation of Israel was to give Israel a national identity. The land was carved out of area where Palestinians had lived for centuries. Many of the Palestinians were displaced into camps while many were absorbed into the national mainstream. At present the Israeli-Palestinians constitute 22 % of the population. In terms of those Palestinians living outside and who also dream of a nation is like the equilateral triangle hinged to the other two viz., Israeli Jews and Israeli Palestinians.
Synergy of these is what one ought to worry about. It is so charged that Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and the USA are all drawn into it.

The Glue That Holds Us Together

A question shall accommodate several answers all of which may be equally admissible depending on the context. Who am I? How I may be to my coworkers in my workplace isn’t how my wife sees me. You and I are individuals. Even so each holds different layers. How I as an individual connected to the rest of my species gives me multitudinous options to follow my drive. It may be that I want to hold my family together and pass for an useful citizen among my community. Or I may have much more grandiose plans to leave a legacy of sorts for the future. Whatever may be my ideal I can only make that happen in relation to others. I make use of my drive and energy and also hop on that of others. Synergy has come in when I can lift myself farther than using strictly my own level of energy.
I move in this visible carrying an inner world where energy is is an essential component. It is what must solve my two-in-one problem of being in the manner I prove my relevance to others.
2.
Visible and inner World. Each of this world can be represented as body and mind.
Body and Mind working as one: Two-in-one body problem is solved by real time energy. In case of every life-form it holds true.
Every life-form holds a position determined by the fact that he or she expends energy and has a part in Conservation of Energy. That position is on two sets of coordinates. How self shall express in time and space and also in a Time- Space since this conservation requires an infinite scale within which every sequence of energy ever put into use is tallied: birth of stars as well as its death have its place; in similar fashion Cosmos keeps particulars of every with the same exactness as any scrupulous accountant would balance the books.

Week-8 All For One, One 4..

Out in the savanna one sultry morning one ape-man stood up and he wanted to scratch himself. The rest in that group saw him do it and thought,” Show-off!” How jealous they became! So far walking on all fours was good for them. Having enjoyed a good scratch our ape-man thought of getting back into the group. Meanwhile all the ape-men whispered to each other to say,” Let us not give him a feeling he started something.”
The ape-man who first walked on two legs upon coming to them exclaimed,
” Fellows, there is much to be said for walking on two instead of four.”
One elder shot back,” Don’t try to teach me tricks. I have been walking on two since I was so little.”
“No you didn’t!”
“Says who?”
While they argued back and forth the rest had found thousand reasons for walking on two. The apes could raid other groups and make a faster get away was one such idea. They also found they could reach out and pluck fruits without stopping their trek. Another thought that give little room for the sun to beat on their backs and so forth.
In short, one small step for man brought thousand giant leaps in human progress. Why? If one could think something new all others could similarly bring variations and such wide applications of one single discovery became their common strength.
Fall of a sparrow or man create a vacuum: the tenor of Queen Victoria’s reign isn’t same for the Edwardian reign. If Victoria represented prudery at its worst, Edward VII was noted for his laidback style. Well, no age continues exactly as the one preceeding or following it. Viewpoints and experience of those who fills in a vacuum being different each must create anew by which
Winston. S. Churchill though he was a good war PM , the British people rejected him in the first post-war elections. For he represented the bleak war years and the people wanted change.
