Letting in the reality that other people are central to our success and fulfillment in life goes beyond the reality that we are social animals – that we need other people for comfort, a sense of connection, and pleasant distractions. Instead, waking up in deeper ways to our inherent connection with other people is crucial not only to our personal growth, but to our ability to help build a world that reflects this Divine reality of interconnection.
