Nature demonstrates different types of symbiotic relationships. The two most common are mutualism, where different organisms cooperate to the benefit of both, and parasitism, where one benefits at the expense of the other.

It appears to me that parasitism is increasingly common within our own human species, however it is the aggressors who most frequently choose to label their victims as parasites. I suspect very few have reached "megarich" status without feeding off the misery of others, in one way or another.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could make mutualism our preferred method of advancing our own interests?
