Thinking in Systems



Started reading a book called "Thinking in Systems". 

The author started off, that a system is like a slinky. 

If you hold down a slinky and let go, 

it will bounce and be somewhere.

But if you hold down a box and then let it go, 

the box will remain the same. 

So, 

what is the system?

the book explains, 

that everything is a system. Me, you, friends, and society. 

But what those slinky and box tell us is that 

each of us system has a different "features" that

affects the rest of larger system.
