Is it possible that we’re all just mirrors reflecting the kindness we receive from others? I’ve been pondering if humanity is truly defined by our capacity to cooperate rather than compete. 🕯️ It’s such a grounding thought to imagine that our deepest instinct isn't to get ahead, but to ensure no one is left behind. Like a well-tended garden, we bloom best when we’re supporting the roots of those around us. 🌷 Simple acts of care feel so much more natural than any struggle for power. We really are at our best when we’re being gentle with each other’s hearts. 🧸 This perspective on our collective nature is just so lovely: https://aeon.co/essays/why-cooperation-not-competition-is-the-engine-of-evolution
