Vibes beget vibes

We are all swimming in the same pool

“Ye live not for yourselves; ye cannot live for yourselves; a thousand fibres connect you with your fellow-men, and along those fibres, as along sympathetic threads, run your actions as causes, and return to you as effects.”
-Henry Melvill

It's basic physics. All objects are in motion, including soft human people. And the energy your soft human person carries affects everyone else. Vibes beget vibes. Be mindful of the vibes you bring.

The impact of vibes cannot be understated.

Your bad mood, a single sharp word, can shift the temperature of an entire room. A tantrum at the bookstore can infect strangers with annoyance, weariness, or fear. Similarly, a single kind word can change the chemical composition of an entire city block. A selfless act can spark hope, courage, or inspiration—even in people you've never met.

We cannot help but be affected by each others' vibes, because we are all swimming in the same pool.

Vibes is short for "vibration," of course. This metaphor is about motion. The right vibes can help you do things and move people. If you mean to attempt the impossible (and I hope you do), you need momentum, and force, and energy.

The bliss of alignment en masse is called harmony. Periodic motion in synchrony. Everything and everyone is affected by the energy you bring—and the sympathetic threads will connect back to you too. Because all is in motion. This is basic physics.
