Thirty-six trillion. That’s the number of cells in your body—give or take a trillion. Thirty-six trillion individuals, all with specific jobs and functions, all working together and collaborating in the service of the whole. The whole, of course, being you.
If these thirty-six trillion individuals are able to cooperate and work together effectively, you get to enjoy good health. However, if some cells decide to go off on their own and take, take, and take, you have a cancer, which, if left untreated, will likely destroy your health and end your life.
A few weeks ago, I had an epiphany. I realized that our body and its thirty-six trillion cells are a microcosm of our planet and its people. If people cooperate and work in service of each other and the whole, then neighborhoods, communities, cities, states, countries, and the entire planet will enjoy peace and good health.
But if this doesn’t occur…well, you already know what happens when this is the case.
So, if thirty-six trillion individuals can collaborate with each other, then perhaps eight billion individuals can do it as well.
