4. The key to successful life by sentient beings is the ability to perceive
the omnipresent connections between things. A lack of awareness not only leads to seriously unhappy states of mind, it promises a devastating future for all life on Earth.

My question is, why do many see the relationships while others seem to be oblivious of them?
