We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.

The truth is that we are all in this together. What affects one directly affects all indirectly. We are all bound together in a delicate network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud,if our faults whipped them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not cherished by our virtues.

For life is a seamless web. It connects us not merely with one another, but with all that is sentient; with all that shares its miracle of birth and feeling and death.

Poor and rich, wise and unwise, we are all links of the same great chain.

We are all connected; to each other, biologically. To the Earth, chemically. And to the rest of the universe, atomically.

All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born.

We are all worthy of one another.

By refreshing our sense of belonging in the world, we widen the web of relationships that nourishes us and protects us from burnout.

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

By inviting in these experiences of interconnectedness we can enhance our sense of belonging to our world. This mode of being widens and deepens our sense of who we are.

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. — MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

When we're connected to others, we become better people.

"The same strength which has extended our power beyond a continent has also interwoven our destiny with the destiny of many peoples and brought us into a vast web of history in which other wills, running in oblique or contrasting directions to our own, inevitably hinder or contradict what we most fervently desire. We cannot simply have our way, not even when we believe our way to have the "happiness of mankind" as its promise."
