In a real sense, all life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.... I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be.... This is the interrelated structure of reality.

REV. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
