To make a system stronger, we need to make stronger relationships.

When we can lay down our fear and anger and choose responses other than aggression, we create the conditions for bringing out the best in us humans.

Probably the most visible example of unintended consequences, is what happens every time humans try to change the natural ecology of a place.

Aggression is the most common behavior used by many organizations, a nearly invisible medium that influences all decisions and actions.

Let's just keep asking ourselves this question: 'Is what I'm about to do strengthening the web of connections, or is it weakening it?'

Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole.

Change always involves a dark night when everything falls apart. Yet if this period of dissolution is used to create new meaning, then chaos ends and new order emerges.
