The  notion that all these fragments separately existent is evidently an
  illusion and this illusion cannot do other than lead to endless 
conflict  and confusion. Indeed, the attempt to live according to the 
notion that  the fragments are really separate is, in essence, what has 
led to the  growing series of extremely urgent crises that is 
confronting us today.  Thus, as is now well known, this way of life has 
brought about  pollution, destruction of the balance of nature, 
over-population,  world-wide economic and political disorder and the 
creation of an  overall environment that is neither physically nor 
mentally healthy for  most of the people who live in it. Individually 
there has developed a  widespread feeling of helplessness and despair, 
in the face of what  seems to be an overwhelming mass of disparate 
social forces, going  beyond the control and even the comprehension of 
the human beings who  are caught up in it.
David Bohm 
Wholeness and the Implicate Order, 1980
