Look at wild animals and birds. Even +they travel together, flock together, and help each other. Bees do not have a +particular legal system, they do not follow any spiritual practice, but for +their livelihood and survival they depend on each other--that is their +natural way of existence. Even though we intelligent human beings must also +depend on each other, we sometimes misuse our intelligence and try to exploit +each other. That goes against human nature. For those of us who profess to +believe in a particular religious practice, it is extremely important that we +try to help each other and cultivate a feeling of affection for each other. +That is the source of happiness in our life. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama -- 2.34.1
