Our lives, whether as a social recluse or a butterfly, are all joined in some way or another. The hexagonal wax cells that bees build in their nests as storage facilities are a good way of understanding life. Life, and not just human forms of life, is individual and yet it forms an intricate web. We are all somehow connected and we all have an impact on the lives of others.
A damaged honeycomb will not provide the bees with a safe shelter for their larvae and honey, just like a damaged world will not provide every living thing with the best possible opportunity to survive and flourish.
If you're not convinced that your honeycomb does in fact affect the others it shares sides with, then try for one day to stay in bed, don't get up to feed your pets and children, don't go to work or university, and don't answer any texts, emails or phone calls. See for yourself the affect you have on another persons life first hand. Doesn't it feel good to feel connected? An unconnected life is a life not lived. Always remember that your life affects the lives of others, we each play a role in the honeycomb of life.
