“A thing is right when it enhances the stability and beauty of the total ecosystem. It is wrong when it damages it”

— Stephan Harding, in "The Systems View of Life" by F. Capra and P.L. Luisi

I'm on the last pages of what might be the most meaningful book I've ever read in my life, "The Systems View of Life" written by the physicist Fritjof Capra and the biochemist Pier Luigi Luisi. The book is all about complexity, networks, patterns of organisation, but mostly it offers a different way of seeing, interpreting and acknowledging the world around us.

Reading this book has been an incredible trip to unimaginable thoughts and feelings, it has provided me comfort when my outside world seemed to be crumbling right in front of my eyes. It was a true escape when everything looked linear, lacking meaning and harsh.
