None of us gets through life alone. We all have to look out for each other and lift each other up.

We all have our weaknesses, dear friends; so we must strive to be considerate of one another.

Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.

...we're all so interdependent that in order to look after oneself one's got to look after others no less.

We're just not strong enough to survive alone, let alone thrive. Whether we like to admit it or not, we need each other.

Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

All that matters is what we do for each other.

As outsiders, we need each other for support and connection and all the other necessities of living on the borders. But in order to come together we must recognize each other.

I long to find a way for all of us, to walk in each other’s shoes for a few moments. To get right inside each other’s experiences, perspectives, ancestral imprints. To empathically experience each other’s circumstances, memories, unmet needs, delights. To break through the isolated nature of each person’s framework of perception and to know it as our own. Imagine that world. Imagine what would happen next. We would stop seeing each other as threats and foreigners. We would recognize that we are all struggling to make sense of this life. We would recognize our shared humanity. We would begin to build bridges where before there were battlegrounds. I long to find a way for all of us, to walk in each other’s shoes for a few moments. It would change everything.

It's the small acts that you do on a daily basis that turn two people from a 'you and I' into an 'us.'

Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.

we all need other people to meet our emotional needs for comfort and closeness. That’s what relationships are all about.

All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors — in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.
