    for an example, see the Blind men and an elephant. the world is like the elephant: a huge organism. by only inspecting a small local part of it, we are led to believe that “the world” is either a trunk, a leg, a tusk, etc. meanwhile the world is not only all of these parts, but more importantly a huge organism that connects all of these parts into an organized whole.
