To think that individuals are completely separate from one another, unmoved or unaffected by our connections to others, is almost always simple minded. Although theoretically such a notion might be neat and tidy, it neglects the obvious fact that we are intimately tied to those persons we care about and and love. Furthermore, we are also connected to those we know and care about and, by extention, countless others. Turning away from this fact does not negate its veracity. This basic truth has significant social, political, and psychological ramifications. I ask: are we, individually or collectively, ready to embrace this obvious fact and accept its implications and consequences?
