No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, part of the whole Earth, and if one plate is taken away by the wave of the sea, Europe is lacking something, as if a promontory were in place, or the house of a man, a friend or your own home. Each man's death diminishes me because I am living part of the human race. So never send to ask for whom the bell tolls: it tolls for thee. (John Donne )
This deep and apparently a bit 'grim reflection of John Donne, rather than talk about the death of interdependence.
Interdependence is a concept now completely alien to our everyday lives. The test you every day seeing more and more convinced they are an island people behave as if they were the only ones on earth, moving and acting oblivious to the fact that their life depends on others. You do not need so much injustice, enough small daily actions carried out by ignoring the existence of a world of people around us to slowly erode a "turf."
From stealing car park outside the lines to the other, and sometimes in the "loser" of others could be you, being a bit 'asshole at the counter of the Registry, either as an employee as a user, because some times the affected the stronzaggine you be you. These behaviors are often guided more by ignorance than from malice, but difficult to generate chains of interruptible resentments and irritations, as find the car parked without regard to the other nicely striped.
Unfortunately, if we fail to understand that we are not an island in the little things of everyday life difficult to understand in the face of major events and the biggest of us who are people of a continent, a part of humanity.
