Systems

We were talking about systems, and the topic invaded my thought process. 
We humans, we do not like to be put into any system. We want freedom.. and yet.. Systems are necessary. Even our own bodies have multiple systems: circulatory, nervous, musculoskeletal just to name a few. Systems are probably structures without which nothing can move. Like anything, there are two sides of the coin. Hence, systems can support us, or they can destroy us. Systems represent values. If our values are different from the system we may be in, we suffer. If the system is supportive to our growth process, our expression, we applaud it. It may also be true to say that we can use the system or be used by the system. In the latter case, our life experience can be close to hellish. 

There is the human body with its multiple systems.
The welfare system.
The yoga system.
The healthcare system.
The family unit system. 
The political system.
The solar system. 
The education system. 
The economic system. 

These are the walls we function within while largely aware of the deficiencies of each one. 
And in the end, it all boils down to one thing: were these systems invented by the humankind actually serving the humankind? Did humanity become happier, healthier, more vibrant, more evolved as a species? It goes from there...
