symbiosis
Symbiosis is celebrated as an ideal partnership, where allies supposedly compensate for each other’s weaknesses. In practice, it often resembles a legalized dependency where the strong drag the weak along. It is a curious communal life that demands equal doses of convenience and responsibility under the banner of environmental conservation. The theory claims to apply everywhere from rainforests to skyscraper jungles, a wish list of harmony. Ironically, we often witness the partners fighting to help one another.
