Our sense that we are an island, an independent, self-sufficient individual, bears no relation to reality.

We cannot exist without others, and they in turn are affected by everything we do. The idea that it is possible to secure our own welfare while neglecting the welfare of others, or even at the expense of others, is completely unrealistic.
