What can’t be denied is that no one is his or her own island; human beings need each other. This is why it has been said that although some people say they are independent, this is nothing more than an illusion.
​
Therefore, while it might be hard for some to accept, it doesn’t change the fact that we are all interdependent. When we accept this and understand that there isn’t anything wrong with needing others, our lives become a lot easier than they would be otherwise.

A Small Part

While our five senses can create the impression that we are separate from others, we are actually are part of a system. In the same way that it takes thousands of components for a car to work, there are many different elements that allow us to live our lives.

And if these elements started to disappear, it would be only too clear how reliant we are upon others. Through accepting that we are interdependent and that we need others, there is no reason to try to do everything by ourselves.
