we are all connected

"From the standpoint
of daily life....
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."

Albert Einstein
