Sounds like paraphrasing John Donne.."No man is an island entire of itself"...."Never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee". We are all connected and interconnected and no amount of believing we are independent of one another will ever change that.

For the ego everything is independent of the other, but the truth is everything is One only. See this world from the space and you will find no divisions only one world but look at individual entities and they will look separate.Even the question of individual soul, it does not exist but for those who want to think so it does.Perspective of the worldly and the knower!Both are right from their own point of view!
