We live in a society where individual effort and progress is valued, and that's absolutely correct and is as it should be. But we also are interdependent creatures. We can't succeed solely on our own.

We need others for our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Without others we are nothing.

We're all connected in so many different ways.

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Independence ... is middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth
