Dante And Virgil In Hell
There are jokes around that talk about heaven and hell and the difference between the two. One in particular had heaven and hell as pretty much the same, both being great places, with sunshine, no work and lots of great food everywhere. The thing was that there was a condition in both and it was that you were only allowed to eat using six foot long chop sticks.
Of course no one can feed themselves with chop sticks that are six feet long and in hell no one was getting anything to eat and despite the great environment it really was a living hell. In heaven, there was one little difference, people were feeding each other and everything was wonderful.
The moral of the story is of course that cooperation can transform our situation totally.

We are all individuals and we are all part of teams. Note that in this context I am using the word team in a fairly generic sense to mean any group of people that collaborates in some way. The extent to which each individual enters into team behaviour varies from the individual that escapes to the mountains and has very little contact with the rest of society right through to the party extrovert who wants constant interaction with other people.
