Bubbles
We all live inside bubbles – both literally and figuratively. Without the existence of membranes, or permeable boundaries, living organisms cannot exist. Creating our own metaphysical zones is just as important. We generate these invisible bubbles from our unique set of beliefs, values, interests and attitudes. Together, they help to define our identity and guide our actions. But they should not isolate us. In nature, membranes are never rigid or absolute; they let energy and nutrients flow in and out. We too must be open to the ideas and influences of others. And even merge bubbles from time to time.
