The Relationship
"Everything is connected... nothing can change by itself"
Defining fundamental terms of existence is challenging because they are the basic building blocks of understanding and cannot be broken down further. They themselves are the foundations used to explain, like trying to describe color to a blind person.The words that exist today, have definitions that were assigned to them at birth, throughout history their original meaning isn't always retained.While it's important to be aware of the evolution of the meaning of words, to be able to accurately understand historical documents using these terms,It is also important to have clear and practical definitions that modern society understands and agrees upon.A person sharing the definition of a word, is always sharing their subjective perception.They can never be wrong about their subjective perception.The mass can disagree with the definition if it does not synchronize with their own perception.Which is why when we wish to define a term to be agreed upon, it must either align with the perception of the rest, or they must be willing to reshape their understanding of the term when they encounter or use it in their life.
Bad
What’s the meaning of this concept?
An undesired state.
The good and the bad are always judged from the present, whether something will increase my feeling of good or decrease it.
The good and the bad can only exist together.
They balance each other, since the intensity of an experience is determined by its frequency,
So even if good occurs less than bad, it increases the intensity of the good, maintaining an equilibrium of intensity.
What is the purpose of it?

System
A relationship between numerous entities for a greater whole;
While a relationship focuses primarily on the connection between the entities themselves,
a system mainly focuses on the overall result.
A set of components coordinated to form an integrated whole.
Ranging from physical units such as atoms, to abstract concepts such as mathematics.
The ideal system utilizes the full potential of its components in the most efficient way,
Once a system is established, it acts as a skeleton for a recurring process.
While teamwork is the essence of a system, it's crucial to find the right balance
as excessive cooperation beyond a certain point may become
a hindrance, rendering extra help meaningless and potentially detrimental.
Example:
When the Covid-19 outbreak first appeared in China,
The country built a hospital with more than 1,000 beds,
in 10 days.
(Some sources say it took even less time and had more beds.)
The bigger the team, the harder it is for information to flow along the chain in the absence of order
and the more links that allow communication to fail
therefore a hierarchy is necessary to efficiently manage decisiveness and coordination
Everyone is relevant in the system.
However, some more than others.
The higher you’re in the hierarchy the harder it is to replace you, the more value you hold.
We see ourselves as individuals in this world, but even we are made of combined living cells,
who forfeited their individuality to become something more.
The systems we take part of are no different.
that is true with sport teams
companies
societies
governments
but what these institutions lack,
is the feeling of individuality
the next step in our ascension, is the ability to make humans feel as one
A similar idea is shown in pacific rim, in which two humans combine their brains to one through mental link, to control a bigger, more powerful robot.
We as individuals, have dreams we want to achieve,
there are 2 types of dreams,
Individual dreams - Comprised of our passion
and Selfless dreams - Comprised of our values
Dreams are all desires, what grants them the title of dreams, depends on how strong the desire is.
Life is forcing us to find the balance between what the system we take part of - needs and what we as individuals in the system want.
The most ultimate system is one in which both are the same.
In the hierarchy we developed as humans, some people will have to work under one person
and this one person and others like him will work under one person
and so on and so on
this is the conscious idea of lending our strength to another person
in some form, it is even better than being a mindless cell following blindly
because our influence isn’t tied to one location and we’re far more unique as individuals rather than just different cells
So in our system we came up with names, such as leaders, kings, bosses, emperors, managers, generals, lords, sergeants, commanders, presidents and prime ministers.
so we all strive for the top due to its value in our perspective,
and there are different ways to get there, not all are pure hearted,
but it’s worth understanding that the upper echelon, is giving up the experience of the bottom, they can lead, manage and call the shots, but they’re not the ones that’ll go out to execute their ideas, they will not get to experience the diving underwater, the swing of a hammer, the sweat of endless physical work, which may sound undesirable, but to what degree?
Those who aren’t at the top are basically giving up their power, living somewhat as marionettes, an extreme description, but one that’s meant to show us that both sides have their own sacrifices, and we have our reasons to choose one or the other.
the same relationship exists within our brain and our body’s cells.
for the cells in the brain, will not get to touch the earth, only through the cells that actually are.
In the concept of systems
there is something called
a bottleneck,
it occurs when the division of labor is not balanced
one part in the system is working more than the other can
Cancer cells
“you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”
The concept of “a growth” and “growth” in the human body
The concept of balance in the human body
