http://bit.ly/hd4Tsh The law of interdependency states that by changing one's attitude from self concern to global concern, one positively affects the whole system of which one is a part, ensuring its survival.

Transcript of the Video:

In the human system, our desires, thoughts and actions inescapably influence each other.

This law connects all individuals at every level, at all times.

Any interaction is an expression of this law.

When an individual is focused on self interest, it forces the others to do the same, creating conflicts within the system.

These conflicts are amplified at the global level.

Interconnection is constant, man's attitude can change.

Clearly, changing the attitude from self concern to global concern affects the whole system positively and ensures its survival.

This is the law of interdependency.

Character: "But at the end of the day, we all have bigger problems, right?"

  • There's more to interdependency than this dislike for selfishness. It applies to all phenomena. Everything in the universe has causes and effects, and depends on the rest of the universe for its existence. Causality is an all-encompassing web.

  • I like the use of driving in L.A. It's so true! The clock is responsible for road rage! :D

  • oh! lol i forgot all about the vid. Yes, I agree completely! I would also like to add that as long as so called "religious" people believe that there will be an end to this world, there will be one. Most likely a man-made one as things are going right now... Man will never truly be "civilized" as long as there are religions around to poison our minds. I am not saying however that a god does not exist.

  • The rabbit hole et al are nice theories but nothing more than an exercise of the imagination since we would have to negate the fact we live in a physical world. No matter how well we may appear to be connected we are still just as much if not more not connected. This is shown in our constant willingness through out time to divide ourselves in groups from millions to a selected few and everything else in between.

  • What you see is an illusion. You do not see reality as it truly exists. Quantum physics has proved already that what I say is true, it is old news. Catch up lol you're behind the times!

  • Yes, but we DON'T see the whole surface rippling simultaneously or eternally, as would occur if your hypothesis was correct. Things effect one another and sooner or later the causal chain reaches everything, but that doesn't mean it all happens at once and there is no reason I can think of to think so.

  • Ever heard of the butterfly effect? Of course an H bomb dropping in one place is not going to kill people on the other side of the planet as a direct result of the explosion, but yet we see that throwing a rock in a pond sends ripples throughout the whole surface. In the same way the ripples from one event travel outwards until all is effected. But even deeper than that: considering quantum entanglement, we see that any one thing directly effects all other things at once.

  • More exercise, more family time, more sleep..for the real well being of yourself. The ego can also demand less making "more" not the only term, (less accountability, less tolerance, less stress, less responsibility).

    We can and do work together in groups, cities and countries already however in doing so we gain a false pride of nationality which is one of the main causes of war, (there are over 100 wars humans are engaged in in the world today).

  • but for the Ego "more" is the only term...that is interesting in:) and not the real wellbeing of yourself

    and until "give up the idea of nationality"...the people let the ego taking over them, so they can`t get along and work really toghether for a true eficiency and the benefit of all, not in countrys and smallers groups.

  • Who said anything about surviving alone? If we did not have our ego, selfishness or need to survive we would not need to work together, ( that is the equilibrium). This is not complicated. However we can never truly work together in a global fashion until we give up the idea of nationality, this is where our group ego or selfishness fails us all.

    "more" is too broad of a term since it can be used so differently depending on the situation to be tossed in a catch phrase and hold any meaning.

  • Can't say "simple" and then "all encompassing web that has simultaneous effect on everything throughout time and space." Those two are mutually exclusive.
