Everything exists in relation to other things, in a state of interdependence.
There is nothing that exists in and of itself. It is therefore impossible to conceive of one's
own personal interests independently of those of others.
What we do in every moment brings about new circumstances,
which themselves will contribute to the arising of other events.
Whatever we do, we are participating, whether voluntarily or not, in the chain of cause and effect.
In the same way, our future pleasure and suffering will result from present
causes and conditions, even if the complexity of these connections escapes us.
We are therefore responsible for ourselves and for others.
Anyone who is indifferent to the well-being of other people and to the
causes of their future happiness,can only be laying the ground for their own misfortune.
