As Emerson said, we are but thickened light. The illusion is that it is a mystery. We are all one, like cells of a body, but the strength and tragedy of humanity is our ability to quantize, define, delineate, segregate, compartmentalize everything and lose the sense of connectivity. We see the nodes and ignore the network.

Yes, nature is tough, but that is how lessons are learned and eventually this will be one big lesson.

More the end of the beginning, than the beginning of the end.
