Blake_Quote

Blake Quote In The Book of Thel, Robert Blake makes the claim, “Everything that lives, lives not alone, nor for itself.” The quote suggests all living entities depend upon each other in some way, for their continued existence. Life, unto itself, is a chain consisting of many links. Each link relies upon another for its strength and durability; such is the case with nature. Even in the remotest of species, one will inevitably trace a relationship between them. A bee, though humans consider it bothersome or threatening, is considered necessary to plant life. A bee is the vehicle that carries many plants’ means of reproduction. A daisy, for example, lures the bee with its sweet scent. Thereafter, the bee travels to one’s backyard, where he or she is found swatting it away. The bee then lands on another daisy, ensuring that next spring, one will have a bouquet to pick from Perhaps the bothersome bee, will not be so hastily swatted next time. The example of the relationship between human and bee, is not far removed from relationships between humans. It is easy for many people to succumb to narcissism. blake, thel, bee, man, each, relationship, humans, example, young, woman, upon, people, links, couple, chain, between, way, time, smile, robert, relationships, one, often, next, nature, misunderstand, lives, likenesses, life, know, itself, however, daisy, bothersome, book
