From ownership to cooperation

Can we move from the "This part is mine"  to the "I am responsible for this part" mindset? From ownership to cooperation. One is based on the illusion of division. It assumes that one part can flourish even if another withers and dies. That its POSSIBLE for the part to flourish regardless of the whole. And then wonders why all efforts to "control" what it "owns" seem to fail. The other sees the unity of the whole, hence accepts that it cannot control it. The brain might "control" the heart, but needs blood from it to do so. The heart might control the food for the brain, but depends on the brain to do so. Once we see this, We stop controlling the part, and start  contributing to the whole. Boundaries and borders  then become statements of responsibility instead of ownership.
