There are still places on this vast earth where the ancient system of shared cooperation exists.  The Quechua native with his basket of lilies tills the soil to grow flowers to sell for food.  The egrets devour the pests that prey on the plants, and help fertilize the fields.  The system of equilibrium is maintained and the pressure of competition is in balance.  Symbiosis is physical and spiritual richness.  It is the essential and precious reward of co-existence with nature.
