Synergy by Barb Rentenbach

A designed beauty of synergy is that it serves only to add, never subtract. By definition, it means that the combined interaction of parts creates an effect greater than the sum of the parts. Individuals are the parts.

I am an odd little part. I don't look normal. I appear to be quite messed up and a prime candidate for nothing but pity and patronization with a sprinkling of repulsion and fear. I am disguised as a poor thinker. I am a poster child for synergy. I am designed to aid in making evident the implicit need for a group effort in order to yield maximum returns. Synergy is the byproduct of giving. Without synergistic support from normals-say, if I were simply warehoused-I would end up merely consuming resources. With a little help-OK, a lot of help from connected normals-I may add to our collective body of knowledge, perspectives, and insights that have receded from the working memory of many.

It is in our best interest to remember that we are all the same. People are flecks of God. Each God fragment dispersed through space/time has a slightly different shape. One shape is not superior to another. All are necessary to complete the perfect, infinite, God puzzle. To be proud that one "tolerates" diversity is ludicrous. The whole system is the sum of its parts. Be your part. Connect with other parts and the God puzzle is revealed.
