Material circulation is occurring while increasing entropy in ecosystems, plants and animals, cell levels, and any hierarchy.
This hierarchy continues to the universe. If the earth is a component of the universe, then I am naturally a component of the universe.
I and the people around me are the components of the universe. It's connected.
"To be grateful to the universe means to be grateful to the people around you and to yourself."
I'm grateful that everything is fulfilled. Smile today too!
