I learn a lot from watching nature. Take geese for example. They have no complex language (as far as well know) and yet they seem to have the ability to maintain social cohesion. Maybe not as perfectly as some other birds but they do seem to function as a single unit. What’s more is that they seem to take turns at being the leader with relatively little conflict. If you watch closely as that V formation flies over or swims by they shift position with the leader creating a wake for the rest of flock to cruise in. I know the science of how it helps them to travel farther but it amazes me how there’s cooperation. I think that the secret is that each bird knows that their own well being is dependent on the well being of the flock. In turn, the well being of the flock depends on the well being of the individual. If the flock loses a member that means that the unit can’t travel as efficiently during migration. I think it’s the interdependency between leadership and followers that maintains the balance. That’s a lesson we should all learn.

Haha! Not so silly eh? Hmm love it! Thanks much for sharing! As per usual great pics! Xx

I certainly wish the government would learn that.

Me too. But, if people around the world could learn to find the leader in themselves then a large part of the government would be obsolete.

Indeed, what a great lesson, eh? Society could benefit from doing this more often, taking turns, allowing for development and making space for the missing and the new.

I have become a bit of an volunteerist. Basically, I believe that we can phase out a large portion of government just by being a decent person.
