Interconnected

“We are born alone and die alone… Why should I give a damn about anyone else?” It's true, absolutely true. When we come into this world, we arrive alone, and when we leave it, we depart alone. But let me ask you a question:

What stands between the moment you arrive and the moment you leave? Life. And what is life full of? People.

While it's true that we enter and leave this world alone, the journey in between is filled with relationships and interactions. We encounter countless individuals who shape our experiences, teach us lessons, and contribute to our growth. Think about the friends who support us, the family who loves us, the strangers who show us kindness. These connections are the essence of life.

While we shouldn't let others' negative opinions harm us, we also shouldn't completely disregard them. Life is not just about "I"—it's about "us." We are all part of the same narrative. Some of us come and go sooner or later than others, but our lives inevitably intersect.

Imagine if we all chose to be more understanding, kinder, and more empathetic. If we looked beyond our own needs and considered the collective good, we could create a more harmonious world. It’s about us, not just about them. Reflect on this: as much as we strive for a better “I,” it is only through our collective effort that our aspirations can become a reality.

Let’s choose to be kind, to listen, and to support one another. Let’s build a community where empathy and compassion are at the forefront.

While we may be born and die alone, it is the connections we make that truly define our lives.
