INTERDEPENDENCE

• Human beings are not atomised individuals. There is nothing that we do that we can do completely alone. Even if we were to live in isolation and grow our own food, we would still need someone to teach us how to do it.
• Dealing with others brings out both the best and the worst in us, but interrelating is what humans do. They build communities. Most people living in total isolation would simply become mentally ill – very ill.
• Even if this were not true, our outcomes would still be interdependent because we live in such close proximity to each other.
