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 another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world.
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.
No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
And must I then, indeed, Pain, live with you all through my life?-sharing my fire, my bed, Sharing-oh, worst of all things!-the same head?- And, when I feed myself, feeding you too?
Ubuntu is very difficult to render into a Western language... It is to say, 'My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in what is yours.'

Men exist for the sake of one another.
The smallest indivisible human unit is two people, not one; one is a fiction. From such nets of souls societies, the social world, human life springs.
When will we learn, when will the people of the world get up and say, Enough is enough. God created us for fellowship. God created us so that we should form the human family, existing together because we were made for one another. 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.

At such moments, you realize that you and the other are, in fact, one. It's a big realization. Survival is the second law of life. The first is that we are all one.
You are because I am and I am because you are. We are one another's strength.
What I'm saying is people like Hoodwink are not kind of evil villains, they're part of humanity. We can choose to disassociate ourselves from them and we can choose to pretend they're not there, but they are. We're all together in this.
We are all part of one another.
Actually, your soul and mine are the same. We appear and disappear with each other.
To love country means to rise above I am because I am. It is to recognize that I am because we are.
