“Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.”

  1. This quote is so relevant with the growing number of conflicts around the world and the ever increased divide between us.

    I am not convinced we will ever live in the harmony, John Lennon wrote about. The world (we are) just too selfish and narcissistic for that.

    1. It's why I chose it. I like to use quotes that turn the mirror on us. It is important if we are to live our lives with purpose, and to support.

      I couldn't agree more with your response. John Lennon would be turning in his grave, if he'd been asleep all these years and woke at the start of the pandemic. He was a peace maker, hard to see where that is happening in the world today.

      I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice the world divide. It's about time, we chose to pull that back, before there is no going back.
