Balance is the name of the \u201cgame\u201d in Nature. It is the state to which Nature aspires to bring all its elements. The only reason why any substance or object moves, or changes, is its \u201caspiration\u201d to restore balance. That aspiration creates such phenomena as: wind, spreading of heat into cooler areas, the flow of water toward lower grounds, and many other phenomena. In living organisms, a state of balance is called \u201chomeostasis\u201d from the Greek words h\u00f3moios<\/i>, \u201csimilar,\u201d and st\u00e1sis<\/i>, \u201cstanding still.\u201d Webster\u2019s Dictionary<\/i> defines homeostasis as \u201ca relatively stable state of equilibrium or a tendency toward such a state between the different but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population, or group.\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2014as different, but interdependent parts of Nature\u2014are subject to the law of balance, or homeostasis. By definition, this is true in our bodies as well as in our entire population; that is, humanity is not a distinct entity, but an integrated part of Nature. For this reason, we are subject to all of Nature\u2019s laws\u2014within our bodies and within our societies.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnity and complementarity constitute reality.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Werner Heisenberg, Physicist <\/i>\u2014<\/i> One of the key creators of quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the human level, \u201cbeing in homeostasis\u201d means expanding our awareness from self-centeredness to social-centeredness and even global-centeredness. We need to increase our consideration of others and our environment, all of which are parts of the same system. Today, we can find multiple scientific and real life examples that illustrate some<\/i> of the consequences we may suffer if we choose to remain oblivious to our interconnectedness\u2014our interconnectedness with each other and with Nature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are challenged to rise above the narrow confines of our individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. The new world is a world of geographical togetherness. This means that no individual or nation can live alone. We must all learn to live together, or we will be forced to die together.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Now that human egoism is posing a threat to our existence, we are faced with two choices: We can sit idly by and let Nature take its course, waiting for troubles to knock on our door before doing anything, or we can take action and assume responsibility for our future. It is up to us. We, the human race, can still advance toward balance and harmony with Nature, toward sustainable prosperity. All we need do is implement the method of mutual guarantee\u2014give what you can and receive what you need\u2014and thus become synchronized with Nature.<\/p>\n
When we build a society based on the method of mutual guarantee, we will secure for ourselves life that is sustainable, prosperous, secure, and peaceful. After all, how can there be war amongst those who vouch for each other\u2019s well-being?<\/p>\n
Thus, mutual guarantee towards each other can safeguard the survival of the human species.<\/p>\n
