Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
Life doesn't make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
We are not living in a private world of our own. Everything we say and do and think has its effect on everything around us.
The constitution is for us all to live together, a common life, we need each other.

When you live on a round planet, there's no choosing sides.
We're all water from different rivers, That's why it's so easy to meet, We're all water in this vast, vast ocean, Someday we'll evaporate together.
We seldom stop to think how many people's lives are entwined with our own. It is a form of selfishness to imagine that every individual can operate on his own or can pull out of the general stream and not be missed.

We are not made for an exclusive self-sufficiency but for interdependence, and we break the law of our being at our peril.
We're all inseparably part of each other. We all coexist in each other.
You and I are more than you and I because it's we.
