Holistic Optimization in Action: The Part Bears the Whole
So the part carries the whole, as presented yesterday.
It’s time to go a bit further.
Let’s do an exercise of imagination.
Let’s assume you are a child, and for whatever reason, intentionally or not, you break a window.
Who will be affected besides the owner of the place?
Will your parents be affected? Will the relatives and acquaintances of your parents be affected by behavioral issues?
Will the attitude of your friends be consciously or unconsciously influenced by your behavior?
This was about a level of influence.
Your parents, relatives, and acquaintances form your group, somehow taking responsibility for your choice. This will influence the larger community you are part of: the neighborhood or city where you live.
And the city where you live will, in turn, influence the rest of the country where you are.
