Across the years, I've learned that without deep, unconditional relationships with others I am basically lost and largely ineffective.
Embracing community opens doors to self-discovery and life purpose.
When I read this quote from Desmond Tutu, it resonated deeply with my heart.
What do you think?
"We say in our African idiom, 'A person is a person through other
persons.' The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms. I need you in
order to be me as you need me in order to be you. We are caught up in a
delicate network of interconnectedness. I have gifts that you don't, and you
have gifts I don't--voila! We are made different so that we may know our need
of one another. The completely self-sufficient human being is subhuman. Thus
diversity, difference is of the essence of who we are."
