"Nature's law dictates . . . "

"Nature's law dictates that, in order to survive, bees must work together.
As a result, they instinctively possess a sense of social responsibility.
They have no constitution, no law, no police, no religion or moral training but, because of their nature, the whole colony survives.
We human beings have a constitution, laws and a police force.
We have religion, remarkable intelligence, and hearts with a great capacity to love.
We have many extraordinary qualities, but in actual practice, I think we are behind those small insects.
In some ways, I feel that we are poorer than the bees."

His Holieness the XIVth Dalai Lama
