Macrocosm yv microcosm

Consider the human race as the macrocosm where the human being is the microcosm. There is always an element of “badness” or “sickness” in the body - decaying, dying cells, cancer cells.The issue is whether they can take hold, reach critical mass. If they do we suffer illness - festering, cancer, disease etc. If on the other hand the “good” cells stay on top we remain, overall, healthy. Consider also that some illnesses have to be endured in order to achieve immunity, or invent cures.

Society is the macrocosm of this. There will continue to be a “bad” element within, but as long as the “good” prevails society will achieve health. The violence, repression, famines etc must be learned from, and eliminated, if we are to achieve this state of grace - only then can we consider ourselves enlightened or evolved. Society, ie the whole world, must recognise its collective responsibility for its well being. We must function as one within our world - and with our world.
