SYnergy

Synergy: The combination of factors which each multiply the effects of the other(s) rather than merely adding to them.

In simple words, synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts. I've always been awestruck by this idea since i came across of it from Stephen Covey - 7 Effective habits, its like the holy grail to perpetual perfection.

It might seem like a very natural thing...there is synergy in every creation of nature...in life. But at the same time if we look into the cutural & socio-economic society there is so much of void, chaos & entropy. We have everything rampant from Capitalism Vs Communism, Democracy Vs Anarchy/Feudalism/Imperialism, Adhocracy Vs Bureaucrazy, Altrusim Vs Egoism, Science Vs Religion, Poverty Vs Aristocracy & the list goes on & on...by generalizing we could broadly classify them as Basic universal problems Vs Cross-sectoral problems.

What could/should/would this world be? If all of us could/should/would have a commom goal or an agenda & allow ourselves to be enpowered by synergy...
