Understanding the Nature of the Whole and Your Own Nature

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the importance of understanding the nature of the whole and your own nature. It is emphasized that we must remember that we cannot control the wild whims of nature or other individuals around us. Our own nature, as rational beings with the ability to reason and make choices, is also highlighted. While other creatures like honeybees simply fulfill their roles without questioning, we as humans have the choice to be a part of nature or to deviate from it. It is crucial to remember this nature in order to find and fulfill our own purpose.
