The challenges and rewards are greatest where two systems meet.

F.I.G. ...To many organisms, the Fig represents survival. But not all Figs are equal and that brings us to the edge of "Choice " ..once again.

               Fig #1  .........or......  Fig #2

 

                    F ear   ..................   F ortitude


                          I gnorance   ..............  I ntelligence

 

                    G reed   ................ G enerosity



    We saw this Black Faced Capuchin monkey at the Tambopata Research Station in Peru back in 2014. It was amazing to watch him seek out only the perfect FIGs. I think his choices were driven by taste and health. His perfect fig not only tasted good but also led to a longer, healthier life.

 

   

 It's ironic that the words I use to represent our FIGs affect our human lives in similar ways. Like the Capuchin, we need to use Intelligence in choosing the good fig -- especially during this very difficult and confusing time. Otherwise we risk "decomposition" through "Ignorance".

                       Fig # 1: Decomposing Fig 

         

                           Fig # 2: Healthy Fig                

            By choosing the FIG that "fortifies" us, we all benefit.


Go with "Fortitude, Intelligence, Generosity"                            and VOTE!
